[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are crowd sourcing who you should vote for because you "don't have time" to actually research and form your own opinion? 
You are exactly the reason why some type of competency test should be required for voting.[/quote]
NP.. eh, nothing wrong with seeking opinions.

I usually google these people, but there's a lot to read. DC area has a lot of people involved in politics, so I assume these people are more attuned to and plugged in to the goings on of who's who in politics.

I'm originally from CA, and we used to get a huge pamphlet of all the Props with the pros/cons and rebuttals. I read through all of them, but I still don't think there's anything wrong with crowdsourcing. It's like discussing it at a dinner party with your friends.

Thanks for starting the thread, OP.  I, too, am clueless about who's who.  All I know is that I won't be voting for Elrich.[/quote]

pp you quoted.
Yes, I am also originally from CA and remember those pamphlets.   But OP's post is nothing like a discussion at a dinner party.

Dinner party discussion:   What do you all think of Robinson's policy on crime?   I really like that he values XYZ and think it will benefit us because of.....

OPs post:   I'm clueless!   Tell me who to vote for!
DCUM:   Vote for Smith
OP:  Ok![/quote]

Eh, I took OP’s post as trying to come up with a starting point.  So many of the candidates say the same or similar things and it’s hard to truly differentiate, particularly when there are so many.  And they did list some issues that were important to them.  If you don’t want to help educate voters, don’t, but then don’t complain when turnout is low or everyone just votes for the incumbents they recognize.

OP I’m not in the same district as you and still becoming familiar with some of the council candidates but am voting for Blair at least. Enrich has been unsatisfactory, Reimer is slimy, and Blair is more moderate than either.[/quote]
