Which she will ignore, again.

Which will elicit vows to recall her, again.

Which will result in zero tangible, organized action, again.

Which will spur the activists to call for her resignation, again.

Repeat ad nauseam.

I'm starting to think that asking rotten people to pretty please do the right thing doesn't work.

Eleana Little is a worthy candidate for county and one to watch. Voting out the DeGises' cronies would be a good path forward.

Who the fuck cares. She hit some fucking loser who was running the light. The loser got what he deserved (getting hit by a car). She got what she deserved (loss of license for a year). Justice has been served.

Right? This shit is getting annoying. Most of us do not give a fuck that some attention-seeking lying dipshit who ran a red light got hit by a nepotistic psychopath.

Everyone sucks here. Let's move on and complain about bagels.

We won’t stop until her and everyone involved in this coverup is out of a job 🫡

There's no fucking coverup. She committed a moving violation. She went to court. She got a suspended license from the judge. It's fucking over. I won't vote for her if she ever shows up on my ballot, but this obsession is as unhealthy as Twitter's obsession with the stupid fucking Harry Potter game.

No one is bringing up the cyclist. Everyone is talking about a lack of accountability from an elected official with a long history of using personal connections to skirt the law. Why comment here if you don’t care/aren’t employed by the city to distract from the issue?

When and if that more comes to light, feel free to bring it up. Hold politicians to account, it's a good thing to do. But the idea that this incident is worth the ridiculous obsession is just fucking pathetic.

Because I'm annoyed by all the DeGise posts that I don't give a shit about clogging up the screen? Fuck, I'd vote for her out of spite at this point.

Ok now imagine someone commits a felony hit and run on you or someone in your family, is it just a “moving violation”?

Stop licking the boots of corrupt government officials. Ask for accountability.

Because there's a law on the books that says that an elected official can't be placed up for recall within - don't quote me on the length here, I'm going from memory from what Solomon said once - the first 2 years of their term.

I don't run red lights on moving vehicles, so the situation wouldn't happen to me. She went to court and lost her license for a year, seems like exactly what I would expect to happen.

Consequences don’t end at the law.

Nobody likes her anymore because she didn’t stop to see if the biker was ok. People don’t want unlikable politicians. This hate is justified.

The fact that white people make up something like 30% of the population in Jersey City but 99% of the attendance at this rally pretty neatly underscores the political challenge here.

You are the perfect example of my point - insisting that nothing more than posting bitchy comments on-line can be done based on something you think you remember hearing at some point in the past.

If you, or any of the people who regularly complain about her on this forum actually cared, you'd expend even the slightest effort to learn what, how and when you could do something more than snark at her on Reddit.

You dumb, ignorant useless turd. There are currently literally zero legal options available for voters to expel her out of city council. Get that through your head.

> more than snark at her on Reddit.

People literally just did a protest (OUTSIDE OF REDDIT) as a way of attempting to shame her (again, literally the only legal option directed at her) to do more than snark at her. This is the thread concerning that.

Again, to repeat the point, people literally just did something IRL and you're out here complaining IN THAT THREAD ABOUT THEM DOING THAT IRL THING that people should stop complaining online. You dumb fucking loser.
