I’m going to guess that it is related to the homeless shelter that is also right next door to the police station.

This really says a lot more about you. Your assumption is both anecdotally and statistically wrong.

Racism is one hell of a drug

It certainly is when you assume the residents of a homeless shelter are of a particular race. Why do yo think that?

Homeless people in DC are disproportionately Black. Yes, that is due to racism.

You done drank the drug of racism is responsible for everything .

Not going to happen. This is the fatal flaw of a one party jurisdiction. The primary candidates are like crabs in a bucket and the only way to stand out is to embrace increasingly radical policies. Mayor Barry would never win a DC primary today. DC politics is toxic in the same way that Alabama is, just in the opposite direction.

That's why Muriel Bowser lost to the more left wing challenger and... Oh, wait you're full of it.

Um. If Trayvon White didn’t run the left wing candidate most certainly would have won. Hurts to be the Democratic Alabama, doesn’t it?

1. You must not be very bright. Robert White would have had to pick up nearly 100% of Trayon White's votes for that to happen. Some of them may have voted for Bowser or no one.

2. I'm ok with being the exact opposite of Alabama.

Um, in 2018 Bowser got 80% of the primary vote. This time around she eked out less than 50%. She barely survived a progressive challenge despite the power of incumbency and handing out billions of dollars of COVID cash. Traditional Democrats are in trouble, and they know it. Cheh was the only no vote in the ridiculous plan to let illegal immigrants vote in our elections.

So you do admit your last statement was wrong. Cool, thanks.

As to your new point about a trend, Muriel Bowser is just not likeable. NYC got Adams, who is a centrist. I don't think there's evidence of a clear trend.

Also, by what margin did Mendelson (centrist) beat Palmer (progressive)?

Nadeau forever below 50%.

Exactly, the Council chair and 16 year member of the council only got 54% against an ANC commissioner. Traditional Democrats are an endangered species in this town. They played footsie with the socialists and now can’t put the genie back in the bottle. It’s the same deal with the MAGA crowd overtaking the GOP.

1. The centrists are still winning.

2. How in the world are socialists like MAGA? Socialists gave as parental leave. MAGA gives us insurrections for them and "law and order" for us.

Why do you keep voting for democrats? Because that’s what this has gotten all of you. And you KEEP doing it!


I don't. I vote for anyone labeled republican in DC local elections, followed by any democrat or independent that is a centrist Tony Williams type. DC needs to change how it runs election for any of these to have a chance to win.

This is exactly how I vote as well. Moderates all over the US have been disenfranchised by the loons on both ends of the spectrum of crazy. We should have ranked choice voting everywhere and force politicians back to the middle.

I agree. Ranked-choice voting makes a big difference.

Isn't ranked choice voting a progressive position? I've always seen the moderates/establishment (e.g., Mendelson) fighting it.

People on the left are pro-RCV because they mistakenly assume that there are a lot of lesser evil, liberally inclined voters that would otherwise vote for the more liberal candidate except “electability” or something like that.

LOL. The Days Inn shooting had nothing to do with the voucher program. The participants were all Maryland residents.

People in power fight it, regardless of where they are on the spectrum.

The critical metric is that in W3 Mendelson got 60.8% where only Democrats could vote in a low turnout primary.
