[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this criticism of the Post's editorial board is designed to deflect from the substance of the original post, i.e., that the far left political interests in DC are highly coordinated.  And as far as "outsiders" pulling the strings---the far left in DC receives a great deal of support from  national progressive groups because  the city (like SF) is seen as a potential testing grounds for a lot of far left ideas (such as not prosecuting crime).  Of course, all of us actual District residents are getting to experience how THAT idea is working out . . . . [/quote]

If this is about the Frumin race, trying to paint Mary Cheh and Tricia Duncan as far left is... interesting. They might not be as to the right as Goulet, but Cheh has always been a more moderate member of the council, and Duncan would have continued her policies. This race is not about ideology (Bergmann and Duncan disagreed on a lot) but instead about preventing our elections from being bought by massive amounts of out-of-state money supported by organizations like WaPo, which are run by residents of MD and VA.

Not PP, but I cannot because I am not subscribed to the post! Really cool to have an organization that has so much sway over our elections have paywalls to read their articles! [/quote]
Just read in private mode. [/quote]

You could also just subscribe to the Post. Instead of expecting them to give you everything for free (seems a little entitled). [/quote]
