[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These nutty lefties on the council are all going to get washed out. It will be like the DA race in San Francisco. People who won election with barely any votes in previous years are going to get slaughtered this year when the public is in a sour, throw-the-bums out mood. People forget how few people actually voted for some of these council members. In her last primary, Brianne Nadeau won with less than 6,000 votes. That's not going to come anywhere close to cutting it in a year like this. [/quote]

They won’t get washed out. DC is woke as a joke. We pulled 96% for Hillary. Charles Allen ran unopposed. There is no hope, but only that we get the least bad progressive. Even then it’s all tax hikes and siding with criminals over tax payers. The UMC folks who all buy $900k town houses in Shaw can’t get enough of crime, because [b]they keep voting for soft on crime council members.[/b] It’s sort of this perforative self flagellation routine. I get it. Yes, much of it is misguided altruism. Yes, there are some batsht conservatives out there, but why do we have to veer to the batsht progressives here who keep doubling down on policies that exacerbate crime?[/quote]

Who is the mayor that crime is deteriating under?[/quote]

Not her fault she has completely woke council members either vetoing stronger attempts or advancing soft on crime bills.

I mean the whole thing is so obvious. The city is half haves and half have nots. The have nots have strong voting power and can ensure weak on crime bills and vote for weak on crime candidates. At the same time the haves are more of the kind of wealthy, benevolent, cultured, altruistic types, those who favor urbanism and density and bikes and sht like that and who want to show they’re in tune with criminal justice reform for the sake of fairness and blah blah blah. Basically, you get incredibly educated smart do gooders who don’t mind tax increases, and who favor walkability, and then you’ve got a strong density of poor people who basically vote for candidates like anti-Semitic climate comment folks like Trayon white. It’s a weird dichotomy. A shifting juxtaposition of values if you will.
