[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Racine it’s either now or never.[/quote]

He will definitely defund the police.[/quote]

It pains me to say it because I respect him, but never, please. Racine is flat out wrong about how to stop crime and I reject that my family should be exposed to danger to facilitate his experimentation. [/quote]
Even if Racine is correct, his problem is that crime is trending up. Even if his theory works and DC’s crime rate increases slower than other major metros, he will still be held accountable to the increase. The data is trending against him, so if he doesn’t run now he will never have a better opportunity.

The second problem for Racine is that his policies are targeting the wrong constituencies. Even if he is winning over some folks with his approach throuhh giving kids opportunities for a second chance, these are low propensity or non-voters. Meanwhile, white folks who are now half the population and the majority of the adult population are high propensity voters and he’s got a problem with both major groups.

He’s a “copL so he’ll never win over the left wingers and he’s got the high income professional liberals worried about crime.
