We need a balanced DC Council

[Anonymous]

We cannot afford to have a Council that is too far too the left or too centrist, we need a balance.

You need to move white progressives are some of the most crazy far out woke people on the planet the demographics are continuing to shift and the board will continue to shift left.

Why

[Anonymous]

White progressives support ideas the appeal to them and not ideas that necessaily have any effect on their lives.

1. Defund the police. They'll say it but they don't really believe it.
2. Schools: They'll go charter, private, or move.
3. Housing: They talk a good gentrification story but they're the gentrifiers.
4. Jobs: They don't care because they ride a laptop. The local economy means little to them. See #3

Since it's far-left now, vote centrist for balance? Chander is a good candidate. Solid, pro small business, has done a lot for all the different stakeholders in his ANC.

Yes!

Janeese Lewis George is amazing.
Look at her campaign team:




And look at Ed Lazere







This kind of balance on the DC Council is amazing.

DC is a diverse city and we are making forward progress.


These photos scare Republicans, who are hanging on to their last gasp of a rich, white party.

DC is going to become a state, with a balanced, diverse population and a balanced, diverse council to go with it.

Sad how the only attack conservatives can muster here is about race.

Looks pretty diverse up there to me. Diverse progressives.

Forward to DC statehood.

The biggest problem with DC Council is the stubbornness of the old-school AA’s like Vincent Orange and Trayon White, who have more in common with mitch mcconnell and trump than they do with Progressives like Silverman and Grasso.

Get rid of the entrenched, multigenerational Black “leaders” who are actually nearly right wingers in terms of where they stand on things like LGBTQ+ rights, environmental causes, and school choice, and replace them with true Progressives, who come from other places and bring fresh ideas.

That’s how you fix the council.

Yeah, you put your finger on it. The progressives like Silverman and Grasso who speak for AA community's don't actually represent their views. I guess they just "know better"

So who should I vote for?

[Anonymous]

I'm voting for Chander and Marcus Goodwin. I agree the Council needs balance, i.e., more centrist members.

Could it be that the white progressives on the board speak for the white progressives (over 35%) who live in DC? Time check. It’s 2020. There are almost as many white people as black people in this city. Why shouldn’t our city council reflect that?

Thanks I will vote for both of them now.

That makes me sorta sad. I love living in Chocolate City.

It's the woke white people who are beyond idiotic and impractical. Vote against them.
