[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take all of the "DC rights" stuff with a grain of salt.  Sure, I'd like to see voting representation in Congress,  but the fact is that government is not all that democratic (with a small "d") at the DC level.  Sure, it's very Democratic and therein lies a problem.  It means that in a multi-candidate race, say for DC Council, a candidate can win the Democratic nomination with less than 20% of the vote, and then he/she is as good as elected in November.  DC needs to do what some other jurisdictions like California have done, where one party has become dominant:  In that case, the two top vote getters in the primary election face each other in November, like a runoff.  It would be much more 'democratic' and ensure that voters actually faced a real choice in November.  [/quote]

Eleanor Holmes-Norton doesn't have anything to do with the DC Council and the DC Council doesn't have anything to do with aiding the OP in opposing Trump so what the heck are you talking about? [/quote]
