And you think the House GOP is going to do it?

Literally the only reason they want to rescind DC home rule is to hamstring DC's ability to do anything for itself so the House GOP can neglect DC, make DC worse, then point to DC and say "see, look at these urban liberal hellholes!"[/quote]

All they have to do is point to any other major city in the US. Don’t need DC to illustrate how awful Democratic policies are. [/quote]

Yeah, the economic powerhouses of our nation are so awful. All those sky-high property values are so awful. You know why you can't point to any Republican run cities that are crime-free utopias? Because the educated people live in cities and know that while Democratic policies may not be perfect, Republican policies are even worse.

Imagine how ignorant you'd have to be to look at decades of failed Republican policies - handouts to the rich, denying healthcare, denying bodily autonomy, killing jobs, screwing the poor, racking up debt, and believing THAT is what's going to improve things in our cities.  [/quote]

Love it. A liberal referencing “bodily autonomy” - would bet anything she was for vaccine mandates.  [/quote]

And for closing public schools. And against charters and vouchers.[/quote]

Im a new poster. I believe— i hope— there are more moderate Dems living in DC than this board would have you believe. I live in a neighborhood that was rapidly improving until the pandemic. I was not for defunding the police, but i did join the march for Black lives. I got vaccinated but was not keen on mandates. I took my damn mask off as soon as Biden did, which was much earlier than the rest of DC. I am pro public schools and not a fan of the charter/school choice movement, and was always adamant that school closures should be short, and that they would hurt vulnerable kids.

Crime has been off the hook. I see chaos from my front stoop, where I witnessed and disrupted a carjacking (unarmed) in progress. I do blame Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau for a lot. That crime bill was a joke. Thank God Biden vetoed it. And yet, i have been for DC statehood. My kids are born here. Ive lived here 20 years. We deserve to have real representation in congress.
