I enthusiastically cast my ballot for Marc Elrich today! AMA!

[Anonymous]

Four more years!

I voted for Elrich. Does that bother you?

Pro Elrich. Pro Lula. Pro Workers. Pro Unions.
Anti Fascism and anti Corporatism.

I got to celebrate Brazil’s victory by voting for MoCo’s victory. It makes me proud to live in a place that rejects the Right Wing.
Let the clutching of the pearls continue!

What does the election in Brazil have anything to do with the Montgomery County elections?

[Anonymous]

I’ll be voting for Elrich tomorrow.

Not because I like him. I can’t stand him. But because he’s exactly what the UMC liberals of this county deserve. Because they seem to hate him as much as I do, but they’re responsible for someone like Elrich even being electable in a one-party county like MoCo.

I hope he continues ruining this county.

You’re welcome.

You should vote for Sullivan instead.

He's been the leader for four years, yet over his term in office, we have

increased poverty
increased homelessness
increased office space vacancies (meaning less business)
increased crime in lower income and minority communities
decreased school performance

Those indicators hurt lower income people the most. Marginalized communities.

How do you reconcile your vote with that?

Do you believe we should continue implementing his task force plan to reduce MCPD, in spite of increased crime in the county?

[Anonymous]

Do you think your negative tone (“Does that bother you?” “clutching of pearls”) is useful? Do you realize it contributes to a me-vs-you environment in Montgomery County?

There are some liberals in the county who would like to improve governance. Consider voting for Sullivan and help us bring balance back to the county. A spite vote for Elrich doesn’t help those of us still fighting.

No, nobody is reducing MCDP. At the very most, there is a chance of reallocating the duties of the police, as in having them focus more on actual law enforcement and violent crime rather than mental health issues without imminent violent threats.

Yes, because I love making fun of the spoiled, whiny, speak-to-the-manager, upper middle class to exceeding wealthy who think they know what's best for everyone. I love watching them squirm and cry when they realize that normal working people don't agree with them. When the DCUM demographic is unhappy, I'm happy. This especially goes for anyone on the Finance forum. Eat the rich!

Elrich is generally pretty awful, across the board. The one thing he's done thats decent is push back on the frenzy of online yimbys who would pass thrive even if the planning board shot their mother in the face on Fenton Avenue.

Thrive may well be a good plan- but the fact that it was pushed through a week after the entire planning board was thrown out for about 5 different scandals, tell you it was always a done deal no matter what.

Elrich wanting a sober (no pun intended) review of the work, before rubber stamping it- was at least something.

Wish Blair would have won, but it is what it is.

I couldn’t do it. I wrote in Blair (knowing that write ins wouldn’t have an impact on the outcome).

I’m a minority, woman and small business owner. I am still feeling the effects of Elrich and how he handled Covid. I appreciated it at first but I think he held on to the strict Covid measures for too long. I also don’t appreciate how business unfriendly the county is. having said all of that, I think he’ll win because he has the D next to his name even though I think the county would be better served with some balance. I’ll be voting for Sullivan.
