[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why there is such apathy toward local government politics and why DC residents don't demand better candidates. Plenty of people complain and don't vote and nothing ever changes. It's like a transient, self absorbed, unenlightened society than doesn't care about anything about democracy and only personal gain. Weird place[/quote] I don't think the city is apathetic. How many people in Arlington can name the members of their board? How many FFX county residents can name their board of Supervisors? How would you even know whether they are competent if you don't know their names? Does anyone remember the hard fought campaigns of these people? Not really. And look at the voter turnout for these elections. Piss poor. I think DC has more challenges and some pretty scandalous politicians. But I'm not sure you can pin it on apathy. [/quote]
