[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is she so great?  Crime is up, school progress is stalling, and nearly two months into the new year, DC can’t even pick up Christmas trees.[/quote]
DC native here. Bowser is great because she represents the status quo and DC's old guard establishment.  Common sense, ethics, logic, and being great are apparently not what most residents in this city want.  Dysfunction, disorganization, and a culture of low expectations are what is valued here.  DC can be backwards.  Oftentimes, it  operates like a developing city with lots of corruption and chaos.  The mentality here is built on dysfunction.  It would take years to dismantle that type of thinking in this city.  Yes, DC has made great strides over the years, but it is delusional to think that a real change is going to happen real soon.

Bowser will win not because she is great, but because DC residents fear placing an effective person in the mayor's seat.  Also, race and ethnicity come to play as well.  I'm going to be honest here.  DC residents will never vote for a white mayor it is not going to happen during my lifetime.  It does not matter if the candidate is great or not.  As long as the candidate is black and adheres to the old guard they will have a shoe in period!   Bowser is not the one who needs to change.  It is the mentality of DC residents.  So, the real question is why do DC residents continue to vote for the status quo?

Great in DC equates to status quo.  Bad in DC equates to effectiveness.  Some DC residents behave like abused victims with Stockholm Syndrome.  Instead of wanting improvement from a dysfunctional city, residents vote for more years of dysfunction.  Yes, bring on the increase crime, low quality schools, and poor services I can't wait!  :(

Does DC stand for dysfunctional city?[/quote]

I would not say that DC is dysfunctional, but I also would not say that its leadership is great.[/quote]
