[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say the recall is successful. Who are these republicans going to run in the special? Whoever the replacement is will just keep being part of the 13 votes that unanimously pass all these bills these republicans claim are harming the city.[/quote]

It’s not “republicans” - the recall is being run by high profile democrats and many of the donors are democrats. I’m OP, and I’m a liberal democrat. [/quote]

Prominent? Jennifer Squires has never been active in local dem politics. April Brown the treasurer is a crime bro troll. Ned Ertel, husband of Squires and the only contractor to receive money from the campaign as of Jan 31, helped run the failed campaign of an ex-Republican who finished in 11th place in the 2020 at large (Chander Jayaraman).

It’s ok, you’re now on the same team as insurrectionists and people who believe that you personally should have no say in local or national politics. You have to own that. [/quote]

Notice how recall opponents never, ever defend Allen's policies or the man's character but instead attack the people behind the recall? It's a sign that they're terrified and are coming to realize they're on the wrong side of history here. [/quote]

DP and I'd accept that criticism, IF the people trying to recall Allen would be genuine in their discussions. He has never tried to legalize carjackings, the "policies" people complain about never were even put in place, he never defunded the police. He was the chair of the public safety committee during the crime spike and if people feel that is worthy of a recall, that is certainly their choice, but it is also a bad precedent to set.[/quote]

He was the architect or a lead proponent of so many soft on crime bills. The YRA, the second look act, no help on pursuing “the 12 o’clock boys” dirt bike riders on our streets. He blamed the fking city for not cleaning up leaves quick enough when kids were lighting them on fire in my neighborhood. He called that stabber at Potomac metro like “misunderstood” or essentially that he was the actual victim of society.

Enough is enough. He is a crime placating weak candidate who sides with the perpetrators of crime over victims. And this is especially fked up when we are having a commercial real estate crisis impacting our budget, when restaurants are closing, Ted Leonisis is trying to leave with our sports teams, and it’s just clear crime has a huge impact. Like, pull your fking head out of your azz, council member. I know it sucks to actually lock people up and, don’t get me wrong, I understand statistics, and the current era of post George Floyd progressive criminal justice reforms and the emphasis on not incarcerating and all that, but clearly being weak on crime isn’t working,[/quote]
