[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Henry Cohen was the high school student whose musings we tolerated because it would have been impolite to do anything else.  Another 18yo is now running for the Spring Valley-Kent-Sibley Hospital ANC 3D-03 seat, so far unopposed. Meet Quentin Colon Roosevelt and twitter site   https://twitter.com/QColonRoosevelt   very woke, out to abolish tipping, collecting signatures while his clueless adult neighbors don't even know the seat is vacant. Very earnest, energetic, making his parents proud, and qualified in what way exactly? Appointed to something by the Mayor, what was accomplished there?

Only a few days before the filing deadline you are about to get a Commissioner ruling on liquor licenses who can't get a legal drink, on zoning issues who's never signed and paid for a lease or bought a home, "oversight" of government agencies by someone who has overseen what?  Although he might have almost gotten run over in the 5th grade, he says, so give him that on life experience.

Cue the contrived outrage now, the truth can never be stated in DC politics which is that the just-barely-adult candidate doesn't have the tested life experience to perform in public office. The j-b-a candidate is deemed idealistic if he says something foolish and over the top, as adults and parents our habit is to overlook and nurture. Meanwhile, the adult candidate is attacked for making the same statements and is held to a higher standard.

Get smart ANC 3D voters, elected office doesn't come with training wheels!

If you live there and are not running yourself, you should be ashamed of complaining and doing nothing else.  Or maybe he'll be fine on the ANC.[/quote]
