[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunately it's not the only issue that most DC voters care about, as most DC voters don't have kids in the public school system.  So you can go ahead and cry all you want, but your one-issue self-centered voting isn't going to make an iota of a difference.

Oh, and nobody "supports" school closings.  [/quote]

There's a hundred thousand kids in DC schools. Those kids have a couple hundred thousand parents and grandparents. How many people voted in the last off-year mayoral primary? Maybe 60,000? It won't take many pissed off parents to throw everyone out.

And we already know school closures are going to be a huge issue because they've been a huge issue in basically every election so far this year. [/quote]

There aren’t as many closet Rs in DC.

And there aren’t as many dumb a$$ people willing to believe GOP propaganda.

Yup. Irrational voters are the reason we have Youngkin.

Yes, keep up the name calling. What do voters know about their own lives? You know best! This attitude is why D’s lost so much ground this fall and will continue to nationally. [/quote]

A vote driven by anger is by definition irrational.

So voters angry about the financial crisis in 2007 were irrational. Or about Supreme Court picks? They’re all crazed, or just when it works against your team?[/quote]

Yes, any vote driven by emotions is irrational.

A rational approach would be to evaluate candidates based on positions/policies and vote based on that.

Not just out of spite.

Maybe we could get some sort of check at the voting booth to ensure people are rational before voting?[/quote]

You’re an adult who decides how to use your vote. It’s up to you to make informed, rational decisions.

Of course, you can vote out of spite if you want. But don’t get upset if people call you out on it. It was your choice.
