It’s just so odd that DC voted well over 90 percent for Harris yet every time there’s a thread started on DCUM about something related to DC politics the thread is hijacked by rapid Republicans who insist they all actually live here and often say they have for decades. Either they’re full of shit or every Republican in the city gets a DCUM news alert.

[b]I’m a DC native, and I was never polled on who I voted for. I didn’t vote because democrats are at this point fully unable to govern large urban localities, as we see here, Baltimore, Chicago, LA, etc. This is just a fact. I also didn’t vote because republicans push stuff I don’t like in national politics. In a perfect world we’d have a moderate democrat federal government and republicans running DC, Chicago, LA, etc.[/b]

You're where I am in terms of thinking, though I still do go vote.  What I most want is a return to the idea of true negotiation between Rs and Ds---politics is the art of compromise and that has been lost since Newt Gingrich on the federal level.  And unfortunately in DC it is a one-party world so the negotiation is between left and far left.  We used to have Carol Schwartz and David Catania keeping fiscal watch on the DC Council---we need that again.
