The tidal wave of young people who've moved into the city in the past 15 years or so are too young to remember Williams. But they wouldn't live in the city if it wasn't for him. In the history of DC, there is Before Tony Williams and After Tony Williams. |
| Not voting for Janeese. She lost me on the curfew issue and her volunteers seem to be saying people need to pay higher taxes because she's "for the people." She'll be a disaster. |
| Exactly re: Tony Williams. I wish he'd come back. I raised my kids in DC and still live here, but I'd be in Maryland but for Tony Williams. |
| Home rule only goes so far. If the crazy council goes too far, people will turn to the federal govt to step in. The council needs to do its job. |
I agree. This is why I can't hate Bowser too much -- she's uninspiring and probably at least somewhat on the take, but if we put someone from the nuttier edge of the Council in the Mayoral role it's basically like cutting the brakes. We need them to check each other. |
That's right, it's why Trump was infuriated by Mamdani in NY. Appeasement is the best route for handling tyrants. /s |
I don't think you know what appeasement is. Wanting a Mayor who will serve as a check on the City Council's worst impulses is not appeasement. |
Remember how everyone thought George W. Bush was the worst president ever? And then Trump came along? And then people thought Bush wasn't so bad? Bowser is Bush. Janeese is Trump. |
Janeese would be Obama. Kenyan would be Trump. |
That's funny because Obama would *hate* Janeese |
|
You mean the guy that would have brought us universal healthcare if he had the votes for it? It's amazing how you all project yourself on him. |

Janeese is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. DSA members are predominantly upper class white antisemitic kids who went to little Ivies. In the end they’ll screw-up DC and then return to Colts Neck and Cambridge to raise their families.
Good luck though. |
JLG is a do-nothing panderer who can't even directly discuss the city's very real problems without checking with the hive mind to see if her position is approved wokism. Pretty much the opposite of Obama. |
She's a lot like Trump in that her main (only) talent is appealing to the worst instincts of her party's base. |
