[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, I thought crime only happened east of the park.[/quote]

The DC Council voted to decriminalize street crime west of the park.[/quote]

I have no idea when DC council will wake the hell up.  [/quote]

When DC residents start voting in moderate Republicans. [/quote]

We don't need moderate Republicans.  You do realize that moderate republicans in DC are democrats every where else.  How about people just start paying attention and voting in general.  I am liberal dem who believes that Bowser is an idiot.  I can't get others to pay attention.[/quote]

What we need is to adopt the general electoral law in California, another jurisdiction where one party has (largely) become dominant.  There, the two top vote getters in the primary are automatically on the general election ballot, regardless of party.  The ensures a more viable choice in the fall, and would be helpful in DC where someone in a multi-candidate Democratic primary could be as good as elected with 18 percent of the vote in the primary.  Maybe this would reduce the chance that the general election results in an idiot (Bowser) or council members who lack a fundamental understanding of basic economics and are so left that they make Bernie seem like Milton Friedman.[/quote]
