To be fair, I wonder if all voters actually fully understood what Prop 83 meant. Some people might have just seen as “oh look more choices to vote” and just checked the box for shts a giggles and out of confusion.

I did it knowing that it could result in more moderate candidates.

But did anyone else pay attention to the campaign from a lot of pandering liberals and left leaning folks who said “oh no! We can’t have ranked choice! It’s too confusing for poor voters in Ward 7 and 8!”

Like it was this ironic and extremely rude mindset that poor people didn’t understand it or, really, that they should be protected from their own choices. Just so much soft bigotry of low expectations. Like it’s pretty fked up that some know it all progressive would try and shoot down ranked choice under that banner. Basically, they knew that it could lead to more choices and potentially, gasp, less candidates like Nadeau. Pretty underhanded and patronizing.

You started your statement saying people didn’t understand what they were voting for and then admonish liberals for assuming people wouldn’t understand ranked choice voting. You sound just like them.

Sure. You’re right. I’m a hypocrite. Doesn’t change the face that liberals were touting the harms of ranked choice voting by the soft bigotry of low expectations and “they don’t know any better”. It’s fked up. It’s partly why Trump won. People are fed up with progressive left wing nanny state bs.

This is painfully ignorant.

It wasn’t “liberals” opposing RCV. It was the DC Democratic Party.

Many “liberals” and “progressives” - like Christina Henderson - supported the initiative.

Current status with DC Council in charge is unsustainable

Really pathetic how many Americans hate democracy. Give me my white strongman, big daddy.

Dude. Most of us did not vote for Trump. Over 90%. But at least with Trump, there’s a term limit. Your White Daddy has no term limits and apparently can’t be recalled. So yes, I’m done with the corrupt Council.

It wasn’t the republicans, now was it?

I more alarmed the reasoning that democrats needed to “protect the voters from themselves” as if they were too stupid to know who they were voting for. It’s very paternalism. And yes progressives were part of the movement against it as well. You are wrong.

As much as you may want to believe that the world should revolve around addressing your petty grievances, the administration should have other more important matters to deal with.

JFC. The title of the article is literally “man killed in DC police chase”. Frankly, I think the reporter that wrote the article and the MPD leadership that decided to refer the case to internal affairs for investigation know a little bit more than you. And why you are accusing other people of lying, you gaslighting nutbag?

Literally, read the article. Criminal killed him, wasn’t being chased. Had he been chased the guy might have still been alive.

Is this the same leadership that let their two officers be imprisoned for the 2020 chase for 5 years each? In that chase, which led to the no chase policy because DC Council jumped on the populist horse, another criminal tragically crashed himself on a scooter without a helmet.

History won’t be kind. Give me a break. I’m done with your corrupt Council people and so is most of DC. We just need to find a way to separate your whiteknuckled grip from the city purse. By any means necessary

DC Council has been patronizing the citizens and the Mayor in the worst ways imaginable. First they repealed their own term limits so they can stay in power for forever. Then they threatened to not fund the Prop 83 voted in with 73% because the voters are too feeble minded apparently. Grow up it’s over.

The article is scant on facts. Because the facts are this had nothing to do with the police. But the family won’t get a payout from yet another coddled criminal who escaped because the police has been shackled. So have to blame the police and the city to get the payout.

I have spent years stewing in anger as our city leaders have done everything in their power to aid and abet violent criminals. They have implemented policies which are contrary to evidence and common sense/decency (like dumping violent criminals in Ward 3 apartment buildings and doing nothing as those psychopaths terrorized formerly nice communities, or dumping millions of dollars into “violence interrupters,” or overpaying millions of dollars to landlords to take voucher tenants, or legalizing juvenile crime… the list goes on forever). Our city leaders, who are so transparently corrupt, need to be punished. Home rule needs to be partly abrogated (I doubt they’ll completely do away with it) to restore sanity and order to our city

If you really think Trump is going to do anything positive for DC ir any blue state/ city. He only cares about himself

Trump wants a “beautiful capital.” I think it actually does bother him when gangs of teenagers terrorize people just blocks from the White House. He (rightly) sees it as absurd that we tolerate so much violence in our nation’s capital city, which should reflect the pride of the nation

If his anti-crime feelings come from a place of narcissism (like he just wants people to feel impressed when visiting the government he runs), so be it. The city council takes no pride in our city; they see violent crime as just “part of city living” and something we need to tolerate. Trump actually believes that US cities can be beautiful and something to take pride in

Hilarious that you think Trump has actually seen any part of DC. He helicopters onto the lawn and out again.

Super progressive here, supported rank choice just like everyone else I know. Stop making up shit.

No one is “making sht up”.
Maybe inform yourself before running your mouth.

It must be nice to have a worldview based entirely around labels with meanings that completely change to whatever best suits your argument.

When Muriel Bowser is opposing RCV she is a “left wing progressive”, but when she is opposing the Revised Criminal Code she is a “centrist moderate” (which I’m sure is how you describe yourself).

Honestly, intellectually bankrupt douchebags like yourself are the reason we are in this mess.

So now you’ve dreamed up a wide-ranging conspiracy involving an NBC reporter, MPD internal affairs, USAO, and the victim’s family - who live in Guinea, no less - just to avoid having to admit that it was stupid to claim that no one had been killed by a chase in DC.

The mayor was ardently opposed to Prop 83. You must not have heard.

Republicans generally hate RCV. Evidence:

It’s not unthinkable that Congress could overturn Prop 83 were it to become law.
