Trying to decide between Henderson and Lazare. What is their main difference aside from mayoral control?

This is the most mind-boggling thing about the election this year. Trayon White is an avowed bigot and NO ONE CARES. He's going to skate to reelection. It's just such a sad commentary on DC that he's allowed to be a public servant. Why aren't people protesting in front of this hate-monger's house?

Bari Weiss's answer is that we liberal American Jews need to understand that followers of "the successor ideology" just aren't that into us. That's why no one cares. Also, I'm in the mood for rain tomorrow.

Bari Weiss is not a liberal. She is cancel culture personified for trying to get professors fires. What a joke.

I don’t love Bari Weiss - but a lot of the wrath against her is antisemitic/misogynistic.

I don’t think so. And of course that wouldn’t change the fact that she’s a giant hypocrite to claim to be the standard bearer for liberal values.

Well, she literally gets antisemitic, anti-gay, anti-woman, so highly likely. She’s more of a liberation - I don’t think she claims to be a liberal.

I'm ok with more luxury condos.

Yeh, all we need is more luxury condos.

Agree, he seems more about real estate development. Chander seems more about supporting small, local business. Agree both overall seem pretty moderate. Anyone else?

I'm afraid we're probably out of luck.

Support police by having someone else take care of mental health, homelessness, education... ?

Yes. And also maybe by not pcalling them pigs and threatening to eliminate their jobs?

Why wouldn't we have fewer police officers if other people are handling most of the other needs?

This and why the love for police? Many aren't even DC residents! They come in from Ohio and have little understanding of city life.
More mental health, social workers, homeless support, less cops with guns.
And the none-leathel support needs to be from a separate budget. Stop trying to teach police to be social workers.

Will there be a run-off of some sort? With so many candidates we'll going to have folks elected with less than 15% of the vote. Are there no guardrails? What a mess.

Trayon is the councilmember from Ward 8. Anita Bond is at large. I wish Ward 8 folks would protest the dimwit. People on council think Trayon is the dumbest person ever. They literally don't pay him any attention. Have no idea why they like him so much. Sadly, as long as he is the councilmember from Ward 8, that part of the city will suffer.

Right right right. DC should vote Trump for mayor and city council. THEN we'll get statehood. Sure buddy.

I dont want statehood... (visions of NYC today/DC a poorly managed mini state)

Lazere didn't protest anyone. Please pull your head from out of your behind.

If Lazere gets elected DC will not come within 100 miles of statehood and will become a pariah within the democratic party.
