[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, what is the council good for if they refuse to address crime, and claim their well-documented efforts to defund failed even as crime skyrocketed? Maybe we can elect someone who doesn’t gaslight that crime in our ward is significantly worse than before her time in office and is willing to address it.[/quote]

Janeese knows her constituents despise her stance on crime, and she knows she is going to lose in June, so we just have to suffer through her lame talking points between now and then. To wit, she says:

1. Crime isn't nearly as bad as people say

2. If it is that bad, it's not her fault. It's the mayor's fault or the police's fault or the attorney general's fault or Republicans' fault. But it's never her fault (and it's *never* a criminal's fault)

3. Yes, she ran on defunding the police department but she failed, so what's the problem?

4. City council members have no power over crime (even through they're constantly voting to decriminalize something and opposing every single bill Bowser puts up to crack down crime). See #2.

No. 3 is my favorite. "Yes, I tried to destroy the police department but I wasn't successful because my colleagues stopped me and that's why you should reelect me," isn't much of a campaign pitch. [/quote]

1. Make up what Janeese said.
2. Claim she failed to do what she never said she'd do.
3. Victory?

Great plan guys!
