Well there aren't actually any (competitive) conservatives in DC so take them out.

Between moderate, liberal, and progressive there are only mild political differences.

What I'm interested in is *not corrupt* anywhere in that range. That's why I get the Catania/Lewis George crossover appeal. Bowser has been such a "centrist" disappointment. That's also why I think Mamdani is so popular. Not because he's so progressive but because he isn't a 💩 head.

Are we getting a Mamdani-like democratic socialist type of mayor or someone more centrist? What are the odds. Thanks.


What do you mean by centrist? Bought out by the usual special interests like Bowser?
