[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The Post's editorials about DC are written by someone who doesn't live in DC. The perspective provided may accurately reflect that of suburban commuters, but not necessarily the views of DC residents. Just like the outside funds coming from DFER, we get outside opinions from the Post.

Yeah, no.

It reflect my opinion of a resident of SE DC who wants more establishment types. Even more moderate types, but that’s a pipe dream.

You’re the owner of this forum, why haven’t you clamped down on any of these anti-Goulet AstroTurf posters here who start these little small potatoes opposition research threads trying to throw mud? It seems like you censor anything too conservative, but allow folks to come on here spreading salacious rumors of racism, probably spread by campaign staffers of competing candidates?

Also, crime is rising, so I applaud the post for sticking with bowser, as she can read the tea leaves, see voters frustration and sees that maybe folks like Charles Allen and his Yourh rehab act and wasted millions on violence interruptors that do nothing for crime, aren’t that popular. I love that wapo is taking a more moderate approach. I’m genuinely surprised they haven’t pulled for the more of the Uber progressive candidates.[/quote]

Longtime DC resident here who'd love to see all the leftwing nut jobs on the council go down in flames.  We don't have to be ruled by extremists. [/quote]
+100.

I think these people lose track of the fact that they are running a government and not the American Studies department at the local university.

Intellectual diversity in government is a good think and too much groupthink is bad, whether it’s liberal, centrist or conservative. Having the council dominated by a far left that does not represent the political center of the city as a whole is a bad thing.

A few thousand Democratic activists shouldn’t get to dictate how this city is run.[/quote]
