Fix your party first. No way I'm banding together with the Trump party.

The Democrat Party needs fixing just as badly. Pot, meet kettle. Dems got DC in the shape it’s in. Voting for more Dems isn’t going to change anything. What’s that definition for “insanity”, again? “Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome”. That’s you.

And Dems were in power when DC was doing great. It's not a D vs. R issue.

Tony Williams and Fenty were very reasonable, centrist city service oriented technocrats..that is not today's democrats in DC. At least not the elected ones. Where are the Dems like these two?

They’d both be called far-right republicans today.

In your wildest right-wing propaganda-induced fever dreams, perhaps. Democrats have always loved a good technocrat.

TW and AF would be run out of the current democrat party on a rail if they ran for office. They’d be called far right extremists.

You can keep blabbering on about the same baseless drivel over and over again all you want, but it's why nobody -- online or in real life -- takes you seriously.

Tony Williams was there too, I think.

It would make sense since he restored downtown. Fenty was more parks and recreation oriented. both good.

Pinto is smart, sensible and really stands up for the interests of residents. I think she'd be a great mayor. At the Gallery Place task force kick-off, she kept circling back to the key issue. We need to make the city safe again if we expect people to visit and invest. So simple but so true. Tonight she listened and supported residents trying to block a cannabis shop from opening across the street from two schools!

It's not a very high bar to seem smarter than Bowser.

Unfortunately, Ms. Albert assumed her DC position under a cloud. There's substantial criticism of her immediately-prior role with the GSA. She stands accused as a GSA official of ignoring the established process and findings of an FBI site selection committee and putting her thumb on the scale for a Greenbelt site owned by Metro, where she previously worked.

Pinto could be just the mayor that Washington DC needs. Tough on crime, works hard for residents, understands business community (but not the lapdog of the real estate industry).

But then there would be no sensible voice on the Council. The Council used to be more balanced.

Don't forget the Superior Court and Court of Appeals judges who still see themselves as public defenders!

I think we need Mayor Pinto. She seems to be the only one who is taking residents' concerns seriously.

Isn't ranked choice voting what the progressive left is pushing for?

Don't be hyperbolic. They aren't even remotely far-right republicans. And probably not even what I'd call technocrats - Gov O'Malley was probably more of a technocrat than those guys, though some of what Williams and Fenty got rolling with their CIO/CTO shop wasn't bad.

What Dems think of technocrats has far less to do with the fact of being technocratic than it does about what they do with the tech and what the rest of their ideology is. There are a lot of great technocrats, but then there are some like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk who are just... ugh
