Just putting it out there. I mean you should think about it.

Nice guy and I'm fine with him politically, but he lacks charisma.

Bowser has zero charisma, all you need is a machine!

Janeese Lewis George actually gives a shit about DC residents. It's been so long since we've had a mayor who did. There is a reason why she's extremely popular in Ward 4 and it's not because she caters to conservatives and right wing freaks.

The suburbanites and the cowards who are too afraid to leave their homes without Dump's secret police force and the Guard standing around at Metro stations won't know what to do with themselves except whine on DCUM and call MPD over someone parking in front of their house.

Ward 4 resident and this is news to me. Most of my neighbors can’t stand her.

Another Ward 4 resident who genuinely detests her, but I do know that there's a certain contingent (white, excitable, moved here in the last 5 years) who are giddy about JLG. These are the people who brought us Nadeau and then moved north to continue a path of nonsense.

Well…she won the democratic nomination and her Ward 4 election quite easily. She beat Lisa Gore by 38 points in the primary.

So, it’s hard to claim she isn’t popular in Ward 4…unless you are trying to argue that her voters have soured on her in just the last year.

Barely anyone votes in primaries. She only got 10,000 votes. There's 90,000 people in Ward 4. I don't know anyone who doesn't think she's nuts.

Ok...but if you don't vote, who gives a shit if you think she is nuts. Do you think that screaming into the wind (or in this case on DCUM) will result in different candidates elected?

I think the point was that you can't claim JLG is popular in her home ward when, in fact, hardly any of her constituents have ever voted for her.

It's the same tired excuse for basically all elected politicians. I mean, it's kind of strange...but DC turnout is highest in Presidential election years, so she won in 2024 when DC turnout is the highest. Considering, the vote for President isn't remotely close, you might think the Mayor elections would have the highest turnout, but in fact it's not even close. DC had 70% of the electorate turn out in 2024 while only 41% in the 2022 Mayoral election.

We get really terrible candidates for office in DC. If people liked their choices, they'd vote.

I get your point, but remember it's the primary that counts in DC. Seeing as there was no Dem presidential primary last year (thanks Biden) and most DC voters are Dems, turnout for the primary (i.e. the de facto general election in DC) was rather low. Sure, we got a lot of turnout in November, but that's not a relevant election for DC office.

Feels like the Trumpy police union guy and his lackeys have entered that chat. Have fun on DCUM. You'll lose again.

By that measure you also can't claim that she's unpopular just that you and your little bubble don't like her.

85 percent of adults in Ward 4 have never voted for JLG.

If you think cars should be banned in D.C. and that people who make $100,000 are rich and that the police department should be closed and replaced by violence interrupters and if you think charter schools are evil, you're probably excited about Janeese Lewis-George.

This is nonsense statistics. I bet 85% of adults in Ward 4 have never voted in a Ward 4 election at all, no matter the candidate.

If she was truly unpopular, then tons of people would have come out and voted for Lisa Gore (a centrist candidate...who perhaps lost because she is centrist).

Nonsense statistics and Fox News style scares! 'tis the season for the worst of society to try to drag down someone trying to do actual good for the people of DC. I might have to keep track of how often you post this garbage and add volunteer hours for Janeese every time you post.

No one has any idea who Lisa Gore is. But everyone knows who JLG is and 85 percent of her constituents said "no thanks."

Winning a primary that almost no one voted in, against a candidate few have ever even heard of, does not mean you're popular. It just means you won a primary that almost no one voted in, against a candidate few have ever even heard of.

Nice try. Not voting for someone = "no thanks"?? Some people just don't care to vote. Care to make up anything else?
