[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NAACP wants to end the caucus to get their Education Chair elected. 
APE wants to end the caucus to get one of their fake Dems elected. 
Arlington GOP wants to end the caucus for obvious reasons.

What’s in it for the Arlington Dems to end this? What am I missing?[/quote]

Because they can't keep claiming to be Democrats and have liberal values but at the same time ensuring [b]only rich white people are involved[/b] in not only the school board but are the ones who are participating in the voting. [/quote]

I vehemently oppose the ACDC's school board influence.  However, if you're suggesting they ensure only their "rich white people" are involved in the SB, have you looked at the SB?  It isn't about selecting their preferred white folks - it's about selecting their preferred active party members who toe the (Arlington Democratic) party line.  How is it that you think they work to make sure rich white people participate in the voting?

Before the pandemic the caucus voting was in two specific locations in N Arlington: on one weeknight evening at Key from 5-8 and one weekend day at W-L from 1-5. If you could not get to one of those locations on one of those days, too bad. That certainly limited the number of people who were able to participate. Not sure if they are planning to continue online voting in the future. [/quote]

That's not accurate.  They hold voting over 2 or 3 nights and also typically have a location at Drew ES in south Arlington.[/quote]

You’re right. In 2019 it was at Drew from 7pm-9pm one night, Key 7-9 another night, and W-L 11-7 on a Saturday. https://arlingtondemocrats.org/event/arlington-dems-2019-school-board-caucuses/

So if you can’t get to one of those locations within those hours, too bad. [/quote]
