[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The vitriol of the JLG supporters is off-putting.[/b]  If you question the progressive sacred cows of violence interruptors, excessive spending by the city on councilmember vanity projects like composting or paying WABA $250 per hour to teach bicycling, defining "juveniles" as age 26 for purposes of sentencing, or suggesting that perhaps tenants who are violent towards other residents or building staff should be subject to quicker eviction proceedings, then you quickly get labelled racist, classist, MAGA, etc.  JLG supports all of those policies (well, except holding violent tenants accountable---she would not support expedited eviction).  We can (and should) have reasoned policy debates over these progressive positions---but I never get the sense that any progressive politician on the DC Council cares one whit about listening to any viewpoint which contradicts their positions, even when those viewpoints are grounded in real life experience.

100%. The idea that McDuffie -- a District of Columbia Democrat, for goodness' sake -- is somehow MAGA is totally insane. The JLG supporters I know have gotten so rabidly hateful and nasty that it's a complete turn-off.

That and the WTU endorsement. The way that WTU and teachers unions in general have behaved since 2020 has made it impossible to assume that they are acting in good faith for the interest of our children.[/quote]
