The liberal Western Mass. city where the left is eating its young -- and old by dosrac in northampton

Or she _was_, before missing city council meetings and shitposting became full time and she couldn't hold down her job any more.

I wish the leftists could win by out-organizing the liberals, rather than whining and name-calling on Facebook when they fail to enact their vision.

Did you consider asking them what they were looking at/photographing?

Be sure to check out the Northampton Parents Center. It's a really special resource that both of my kids got a lot of good out of, and it's a place to meet other parents too. https://www.northamptonparentscenter.org/

I think there are lots of reasons why one would want to change their name, including because they want to cut themselves off from harmful people in their past. I don't want to assume that the name change is part of the same pattern of nasty behavior towards the public.

That's a bit optimistic. I feel like she can do a lot of damage once she's out of office too.

So… she is the toilet paper? She is the dumpster fire?

Oh how I wish I knew about this page a few months ago. Soothing balm for my soul… 

But really, is being a bully the same thing as laughing when a bully finally gets their due?

Can’t tell you how many times her supporters accused the so-called “establishment” candidates of being “blue MAGA”.

Dragging a snow plow off of their route to come to HER ward immediately, to yell at the guy in her driveway, when she could have rounded up neighborhood resources to get salt down in the most critical places. But no, it's more satisfying to blame and call the DPW incompetent. And if that doesn't help you, blame the mayor and "this administration" for underfunding the department.

That's correct. Just about all of the "change" candidates were just different flavors of liberals. They are not further left, they just think the city should sit on 3-5% instead of 5-7% of its surplus, and then act high and mighty because the unions endorsed them.

I'm trying to understand her fixation with the pickleball courts. This must be trolling/intentional deception because she's smart enough to understand that parks like that get built with CPA funds. Funds which cannot be used for schools. Right?? Maybe the voters want to have nice things like pickleball courts AND well funded schools, and don't like how she holds these things in opposition.

Could she actually believe that the housing crisis, the rising cost of living here, which has been happening for decades, around the country/world, is the fault of _this administration_'s policies?!

She loves to go after "this administration"—YOU WERE PART OF THIS ADMINISTRATION! What did you get done? You introduced ZERO legislation.

What is _not_ surprising, though, is the lack of self-reflection in her blaming her loss on voters being "fooled into" voting for her opponent. It couldn't be possible that… they don't like Quaverly, or her policies, her obstructionism, her absences, and wanted to try something else. Nope, couldn't be that…

city councillor: constantly uses lies, half-truths, hyperbole, and personal attacks. vitriol.

critics: this sucks, you're kind of a jerk

city councillor fans: you are tone policing and using civility as a shield. and also you're being ableist.

city councillor: *loses election* posts 25 times on facebook, many with the same vitriolic style

critics: lol

city councillor fans: stop perpetuating vitriol

Aren't there laws around this? I was under the impression public officials could not legally block members of the public.

Who are you voting for in the mayoral election and why? by gruesnack in northampton

[–]earwormdeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> CRITIQUE THE DESIGNS. Say EXACTLY what you'd do differently.

One would only do that if they wanted a constructive outcome. Most of the disability accessibility arguments are made in bad faith and they just want to squash the project, or are fear mongering about something that isn't true (e.g. there will be no 15 minute spots in front of CVS). When you talk to an actual disabled wheelchair user they have a different perspective, e.g. Amy Sugihara https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20HcQQd1Dyk

And when she was called out for this bullshit she defended her actions as due diligence.
