[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]One the one hand you have these "awful and hypocritical" liberals, many of whom do indeed live up to their ideals, and most of whom at least DO SUPPORT THE FIGHT for better schools and affordable housing and desegregation and better opportunities and a social safety net to help those who are less fortunate...

...whereas on the other hand, you have the Republicans and Libertarians and Tea Party who don't so much as give a rat's ass about the less fortunate, and who will actively block any attempt to try.[/quote]

....but it doesn't matter that you claim to SUPPORT THE FIGHT because, when push comes to shove, you don't let the homeless shelter get built, or the school boundary to be drawn.  The elected officials know what's up.  They know they don't need to follow through on any of those promises for better schools, or affordable housing, or desegregation.  It's lip service, because everyone know that if they actually tried, their constituents would mutiny.  [/quote]

No, what they do in DC is push notions like "oh, we'll just push the high performing kids into underachieving schools and that will magically solve all the problems" while ignoring the lousy curriculum, bad teachers and bad behavior.

Or, "we'll just push the homeless into every neighborhood to solve the problem of DC General being lousy with roaches, lice, bedbugs and other critters" while not bothering to deal with the social supports and services needed to improve the hygiene conditions that led to bug infestation in the first place.

DC needs to provide a lot of wrap-around services to help the poor.  But instead our great and wonderful elected officials funnel hundreds of millions to their friends while pretending to serve the poor.  And guess what, those of us citizens who know what's up are mutinying against Mayor Bowser for that.  We need Council to stand up and do the same.[/quote]
