In reply to Dan.

It's interesting that you decided to misread what I wrote and get mad about it.

I specifically did not name any councilmember-elect when I wrote that in general the newcomers lacked experience in city government and sometimes seemed unclear about what it does and can do. This is because that judgement applies as much to the Senior Caucus-aligned CMs-elect as it does to the DSA-aligned ones. CM-elect Rainville suggested that he could personally go to the Capitol and get gun reform passed. CM-elect Koski repeatedly seemed confused about what rent stabilization was and whether or not she was for it or against it.

The specific line you take issue with has more meaning when placed in context. My argument is that the next council will be more polarized, with councilmembers (Rainville and Koski probably chief among them) who ran campaigns based more on vibes than on a specific policy agenda. Add to that the general inexperience of the group and the lack of clear policy champions among many of the incumbents, and again, I think my prediction is fairly understandable.

You can disagree with my forecast, but don't strip one line out of context, present it as meaning something completely different, and then knock it down.
I can only be held responsible for the things that I wrote. If you're going to make something up and get mad about it, that's on you.
