[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JG is not Mamdani.  Her message is 100 percent anti status quo and deliberately “look at me, look at me” to DJT.   THat look at me attitude puts a target on the backs of so many of our neighbors.  Many of us have seen - first hand or by video - the early bone chilling ICE raids in DC.   She doesn’t seem to care or maybe she doesn’t know (which is in itself a HUGE problem ) that the “look at me” attitude is going to hurt a lot of people in DC, directly and in the most meaningful way.  I feel sick to my stomach about what I fear will come.

I hope and pray I am wrong. [/quote]

Curious if this poster ever witnessed one of these incidents in person. [/quote]

DP, but I have. So have my kids, more than once. And I get the GoFundMe requests for school families that had their primary breadwinner picked up, and my kids hear about it from the kids in those families.

I think this election had no good choice, but I’m terrified that JLG is going to poke the bear and call it a win while ignoring the impact on the most vulnerable populations in our city.[/quote]

"Poke the bear"? I really don't get this line of thinking.

I've seen the horror this admin has unleashed on families here and am an immigrant myself. They will continue to do (or attempt) what they planned regardless of who is leading the city, and name-checking who is Mayor is just an excuse to rile up their bases AND the so-called Dems eager to say "I told you so." They are not here to collaborate or slow down.

Do you think Bowser has been effective in standing up for autonomy and self-governance in DC this part year? Genuinely wondering what it is that you want to see? What am I missing?
