| Things are going to be a lot different on June 22. The council knows this too, which is why they are getting this nonsense done now while they still can. |
| Mine is the castle in the left, but it’s not a townhouse |
?? The council doesn't turn over until January. The redistricting maps needed to be completed so the nomination petitions and ballots can be prepared for the fall. |
| I have no one to vote for; this is the first election I’m planning to sit out |
Pretty sure that david krucoff is your guy for ward 3. |
| Very liberal, just not a self-hating idiot |
Henry Cohen is a great protest vote. |
|
I’m out. Until:
Environmental concerns? ATVs/Dirt Bikes? Carjackings? Shootings? |
Henry's estimated views in bold
|
Cheh will be a lame duck, Mendelson’s authority will be reestablished, coupled with a Goulet victory and dominating Bowser performance will provide a clear will of the people for centrist/moderation. The Robert White/Silverman/Nadeau wing will become immediately ostracized - taking into account the political winds throughout the country. People don’t want to live in the failed city their policies are leading towards. |
|
Cheh has been a lame duck since February, when she announced her withdrawal from the race.
Do you think any of the Ward 3 candidates other than Goulet is more liberal than Cheh? Because they aren't. And Goulet is pretty close. He simply favors more money for Charters and a football stadium. |
Everyone is the race js more liberal than Cheh, except Goulet. |
We should well know by now that competence is more important than ideology. Bowser is not that competent. Based on what we’ve learned about Goulet’s job performance, he doesn’t seem very competent either. One of the great feats of politicians like these two is to induce you to vote on their supposed policy positions rather than whether they can properly execute the functions of an elected official. |
| If that is the metric, then I would say Frumin managing to get Friendship Heights neighbors to support the Lisner Home expansion was a major win. |
This is wise. I don't know where I read it recently, but someone was making that argument that progressives have poured most of their effort into policy positions and relatively little effort into administration. And now an inability to govern is ending up dooming their policy positions. |
