It occurred at the time of (frankly regrettable) no chase policy (yet another pro-criminal DC Council measure). It was caused by a hit and run by a criminal who drove off from an attempted stop by a stationary police. You liar.

To be fair, I wonder if all voters actually fully understood what Prop 83 meant. Some people might have just seen as “oh look more choices to vote” and just checked the box for shts a giggles and out of confusion.

I did it knowing that it could result in more moderate candidates.

But did anyone else pay attention to the campaign from a lot of pandering liberals and left leaning folks who said “oh no! We can’t have ranked choice! It’s too confusing for poor voters in Ward 7 and 8!”

Like it was this ironic and extremely rude mindset that poor people didn’t understand it or, really, that they should be protected from their own choices. Just so much soft bigotry of low expectations. Like it’s pretty fked up that some know it all progressive would try and shoot down ranked choice under that banner. Basically, they knew that it could lead to more choices and potentially, gasp, less candidates like Nadeau. Pretty underhanded and patronizing.

You started your statement saying people didn’t understand what they were voting for and then admonish liberals for assuming people wouldn’t understand ranked choice voting. You sound just like them.

Current status with DC Council in charge is unsustainable

Super progressive here, supported rank choice just like everyone else I know. Stop making up shit.

No one is “making sht up”.
Maybe inform yourself before running your mouth.

Who will willingly join MPD?

Exactly. Demonize, hobble, second guess and prosecute law enforcement with abandon, lift up the criminal element at every opportunity (cue the tearful families demanding "justice" for armed criminals shot dead by police; paint BLM on public spaces, etc), and reap the predictable consequences.

So you voted in the criminal and not the prosecutor? What do you actually stand for? You are not trustworthy.

Criminals need to be in jail instead of released instantly. We were car jacked and car was involved in a crime. It truly upended our lives (car was impounded for months, we had to purchase a rental car ourselves, we had to testify) and then nothing happened to the guys! They were released.
