| DCUM humiliated once again. |
| WTF are you talking about- “humiliated?” |
| I guess Democrats have officially ceded any high ground on the big money issue. |
| Shock. She outspent her opponent by a landslide. I literally got a mailer every other day for the last 2 months. Theo who? |

Shameful. My friend in the Madison precinct (by WGCC) said his wife has been crying since 7:00 PM when results came in. They really think MS-13 is going to overrun their neighborhood.
Arlington Police have a black eye in this. They really sat this out, when Theo had gone along with their flimsiest cases and Parisa was showing herself to be a vicious enemy. The police could have done some checkpoints in obvious Parisa neighborhoods, especially south of Route 50. I’m sure they were nervous about blowback, but for a friend like Theo you pull out the stops and apologize later. Let’s see how they like it when their “allies” in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office start divulging their sins in the name of “discovery”. Mark my words: if releasing black people leads to even a 0.001% increase in the crime rate, there’ll be hell to pay in four years. |
| Yay big PAC money. Yay Soros. Or something. |
Masterful

| So the precedent has been set, and it's now clear that you can lie and "alternative facts" your way to victory in Arlington. |
| Wow, that’s not good. Nice knowing you Arlington. |
| Enjoy the crime you dumb single millennial women who voted for her! |
| I’m still shaking my head at the idea that ARLINGTON (and Falls Church City!) needs substantial criminal justice reform. Honestly, I don’t get it. |

I didn’t understand the posts above. Then I did some reading.
Parisa Tafti is a progressive prosecutor who plans to work to end mass incarceration. Do scaredy-cat Republicans not like her because they’re actually afraid of minorities? Or are they just pushing the anti-minority white identity politics because that’s the only political play in their playbook? Good for Arlington. Dems are putting their money where their mouth is: white and black people came together to fight racism. |
So you are one of the dummies? Congrats on f-ing up Arlington! It really is such a racist bastion. Bravo to you! |
48 percent of voters in a Democratic primary voted for Theo. Not sure why you’re ranting about Republicans. There really aren’t any in Arlington. |
Probably talking about the conserva-trolls in this thread with the fake handwringing about “crime”. Seems like Dems did the right thing here- white and minority voters joining together to address a racial problem. (As usual, a racial problem - mass incarceration - that today’s Republicans support and profit from.) |
