[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welp. We are gonna have to wait until at least 2026 to turn this ship around. That is the earliest Charles Allen, Brianne Nadeau, and the Pro-Crime gang can be voted out of office. Until then we will be living in a city where the lives of decent, hard-working people of all races, ethnicities,  and ages are not worth as much as the lives of criminals. [/quote]

In 2024, we can get rid of Robert White, Brooke Pinto, Christina Henderson, Janeese Lewis George and Trayon White. [/quote]

You will have to ask for election changes before then. The way we run our elections , people with name recognition and a surprisingly slim amount of the vote take all. There have been folks clamoring for change for years [/quote]

Here is an explanation. Otherwise, incumbents or folks with name recognition (who let's face it often have extreme views and small, but vocal support) take the pie with a slim lead and no one else can even get a foot in the race.

We need ranked voting in DC today. I am actually surprised it has not been implemented here yet. [/quote]

I can't think of an election in recent memory where ranked choice voting would have changed the outcome. And for me, "recent memory" means since 1992. [/quote]
Left wing progressives think that more people would vote for their candidates but don’t because they compromise and vote for “electability”.

The truth about RCV, based on actual studies, is that it hurts voter turnout by making elections more complicated which results in less democracy not more. So it’s a system that works to entrench partisanship. [/quote]
