[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Thomas?[/quote]

Phil Thomas has entered the chat. [/quote]

Thomas was the only Council candidate who stood up from the beginning against the Trumpy gerrymandering plan to split Ward 3 neighborhoods.  Duncan never had the courage to disavow the task force, although it was clear weeks later that she realized she had been snookered.  Frumin belatedly criticized the gerrymandering (he called it “disenfranchisement”) but only after entire neighborhoods had become energized against the split.[/quote]

I really don't care about how the ANCs were drawn, but how is either way 'gerrymandering'? Seriously, I get why people want one or the other map, but how is it gerrymandering?[/quote]

When privileged people who are used to getting their way don't get their way, it's as bad as deliberate disenfranchisement of communities on racial lines. I'm surprised they didn't liken it to the famines created by Stalin and Mao for political purposes. [/quote]

One of the people in my neighborhood has somehow linked this to Trump and Ukraine. I don't think anyone understands. We're temped to try to find a government agency to help her.[/quote]
