I love it that you used the word "herb." So appropriate.

Joke candidate seeking joke votes from suckers like the OP.[/quote]

We live in a one-party state without a competitive general election.  All the general election votes are joke votes.  The only statement one can make is to eother guve Bowser 90% of the votes or 70%.  The general election itself is a joke.

I'm voting for Red because we need open primaries and competition. [/quote]

We need competitive candidates too.  Robert White was the closest.  Open primaries wouldn't have made a difference. Republican and libertarian candidates don't have a chance in DC.[/quote]

Open primaries can result in 2 Democratic candidates for the general.[/quote]

You think Robert White would beat Bowser in a head to head?[/quote]

I don't know and don't care because it's moot.  I just want a real choice.  Our current system prevents better candidates from running because the election is decided in June by a plurality of the intraparty vote.[/quote]

If there is one thing that a Republican congressional majority would impose upon DC it is a better voting system. The current model benefits no one except incumbents and those incumbents are using all sorts of nonsense - like trying to argue that ranked choice voting is racist - to forestall a move to a system that ensure that electoral outcomes actually reflect voter preferences. I’d prefer ranked choice voting, but even open primaries would be a massive improvement over what we currently have.[/quote]

Republicans are doing their best to hinder people like us from voting.  If they have their way they'll just start dictating laws by a-holes who have no real stake in the district.[/quote]
