[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the "real" election in DC are the primaries, during which basically only a handful of radical left-wing activists show up to elect their favorite radical left-wing clowns. The system itself is rigged against a moderate candidate.[/quote]

If you say anything about the crime or try to come up with any meaningful solutions you will be branded as a racist. [/quote]

This is why we need to come together to do this safely. I agree, we are already being victimized by crime. We do not need to feel unsafe in other ways.[/quote]

agree with PP. I work for a very progressive nonprofit that denies the crime wave (while also supporting Israel among other hypocrisies), also non-white but not Black, and would be branded a racist, which I wholeheartedly reject. I live downtown, send my kids to diverse public schools, and have dedicated my career to do gooder causes. The horrific crime — as well as the gaslighting denial from radicals that it is not happening— is maddening and dangerous. We need strong, moderate Democrats who are community minded (and not just showing off their trendy ideologies acquired at Bryn Mayr— and hey, I went to one of those schools as well and studied an equal amount of women’s studies, poli sci and econ, but this a time where real world experience and serious pragmatism matter much more than progressive cred.)[/quote]

Then maybe don't be boxed in by labels like Democrat? In a city like DC (not sure if you are from here) some people adopt the Democrat moniker (who are not) because they would not otherwise get elected. Other people are honest, and share their party affiliation, and have no chance of getting elected, but could be pretty moderate. We need strong, moderate [i]c[/i][i]andidates[/i] ^. Read their platforms, know about them, and support ranked voting in DC. That is the only way your wants will be possible.[/quote]
