I can tell you right now she’s out of your league brah.

She’s just some hot chick you got the creeps on now. We’ve all been there, seen the girl of your dreams and can’t get her out of your mind. But she doesn’t even know you exist. I feel sorry for this bro, shit sucks I know.

Reply to DAE feel that living here has pushed them farther to the right? by [deleted]

OP, your not crazy. I've lived in other large cities and considered myself a fairly hardcore liberal. Whenever I move back to DC (lived here 11 years ago, and now back again) I find myself flabbergasted about the amount of crime and how much they don't do anything about it. I hate Trump, but was just finding myself the other day preaching about how we need a hardcore "Law and Order" crack down on crime in this city. Just like you said the metro fare jumpers, robberies, car jackings, shootings, youth violence it's incredible. And people love to say "crime has gone down", but the truth is it hasn't. It's just that the cops don't want to do anything about it and the DA doesn't prosecute these criminals. It's the classic "if you don't want high crime rates, then don't arrest or prosecute people" (if you don't want high covid numbers, stop testing....). Any city where people jump the metro gates in front of cops, or people ride dirt bikes and quads down Pennsylvania Ave right next to the Capitol in front of the cops and they don't do anything about it is a complete joke.

Crime does not have to be tolerated, we don't need to live like this. Crack down and throw these criminals in prison and start setting an example for the ones to follow. NYC did it in the 90's, let's get it done!

Dude, I’ve been you before. You have to put an end to it soon so you don’t become the car b*tch. Just tell them that you don’t want to lose your parking space, your engine part has been acting up, you have to keep your mileage low for insurance, etc and soon they will get the hint.
