He lives in your head so deep that you think me, a teacher, is an Allen op. I swear this site is better for laughs than anywhere else online


Why aren’t you in school, teacher? You sure stink of an Allen “operative”, a yokel’s yokel.


I get a 45 minute contracted break? Don't most people have a break at work

Saying "Sure, crime is a problem, but..." is such a tell. It's a guaranteed sign that:

-- You don't actually think crime is a problem, because it doesn't affect you. It's a sign of your extreme privilege.

-- You're a white male, and often a mediocre white male.


Crime is a problem AND its ridiculous that people blame Charles Allen for it. Is that easier to understand.


What is happening with crime is unique to DC. It’s way, way, WAY down in almost every other big city in the country. Clearly we’re doing something wrong.


Hmmmmm, what could be different about DC and the way it prosecutes crimes than other big cities.

Alternatively, other big cities are lying or more oppressive.

Personally, I don’t want dipshits from Alabama controlling my city, which is why I think it’s important to take Allen to task for what he has failed to do here: make an effort to keep the residents of his Ward safe.

Some people blame Charles Allen for crime, which is inaccurate.

Some of us blame Allen for an incredibly inadequate response to crime issues in the district. Which is 100% fair. He did a bad job with the crime bill (both drafting it and explaining it) and he's been terrible on crime issues in his own ward -- his response to rising crime on the Hill has been to deny it's happening, make sympathetic noises, and look the other way. Meanwhile we have businesses closing and people moving away the crime is so bad. Many of us don't feel comfortable walking around our neighborhood after dark anymore (and many of us who feel this way remember what it was like years ago, so this is not just people who are new or uncomfortable with urban life -- I've been in DC a long time).

He didn't cause all the crime in the city. He also has done nothing to make it better despite having opportunities to do so, and fails to support his constituents in combatting it.


Allen has THE WORST people working for him on constituent services. They do not know how to solve problems and when confronted with the poor job they are doing, they will ignore emails and phone calls. Many of us in Ward 6 have had it with them - and it reflects very poorly on Allen.

I'm still shocked by Mendelsohn lying to Sherwood about the recall supporters - I looked over the list and it's a broad mix of folks, not just Trumpers or MAGA or non-DC folks. Either he doesn't actually know or is following the party line. So disappointed in him.

All for recall here IF someone else will run! ALLEN RAN UNOPPOSED. We need someone else, not just "not him"!

We’ll Ms. Good Government are you equally as concerned that the DC Justice Lab has received millions of dollars with no donor disclosure at all?


Red herring.

There's more than one person in this thread who opposes a recall campaign and think's Allen's doing a decent job.

Oh, I don’t think so. Show us the payroll list or it didn’t happen.

I guess that was a good way to show that you are posting from CST, so I'm not sure why you're so into this DC based discussion.

Oh, not Whiteopia? Why so kind? Just the CST. Normally you’re far more offensive when cornered

You are definitely talking to multiple people. I haven't been unkind in any of my responses nor have I been cornered. I hope you enjoy your day and best of luck in your recall efforts.

I'll say this in the kindest way I can. It is extremely funny to me that you think I am lying about being a teacher as some part of Charles Allen online operation to sway the people that post on this page to not recall Allen. This plan would net Allens team, what, 5 votes?

Genuinely curious why you'd be trolling a DC based forum about DC elected officials. Don't you have something local with a politician whose been behaving badly to go spend your time with?
