We can only hope. |
I believe its astroturfing by the Sullivan campaign and MD GOP. No way this many Dems are voting for him. |
I’m the PP. We are a two-Dem household and we are both supporting Sullivan. We will choose a moderate Republican over a Democrat who has proven to be ineffective. There are many people who voted against Elrich in the primaries with the hope of a stronger Democrat candidate. We didn’t get it. I don’t think Sullivan will win, but I do think he’ll get a notable amount of Democratic votes. Hopefully that will send a message, at least. |
I think you are vastly overestimating the number of people who think like you. Sully has very little name recognition in a county where most voters who want to "send a message" are planning to vote straight blue tickets. |
PP here. I already acknowledged that Sullivan will lose. I think he’ll get a higher amount of Democratic votes than usual for Montgomery County, however. There are plenty of people who want to see Elrich gone. He only received 30-40% of the votes in the primary, and many votes for Riemer and Blair were really anti-Elrich votes. |
You should know Sullivan issued a condemnation of Jan 6 on Jan 6. He is not an insurrectionist. If he was, I would not be supporting him. Signed, the former Elrich ‘18 campaign worker from upstream |
I read your post. I will repeat, I think you are vastly overestimating the number of people who think like you. Think about all the DCUM posters who claimed they would vote for the anti-boundary study candidates in 2020. Many more than the handful posting here about Sully. They all lost, by a fair amount. There was a lot of discussion and knowledge about those candidates, much more so than about Sully. |
DCUM was all in for Nancy Floreen in 2018. And she got the Washington Post endorsement. She got 19% of the vote. |
If unaffiliated voters actually get out there to vote, then yes. A slim chance. The problem isn't lack of support, per se. It's just that few people actually go out to vote. Especially upcounty. |
Still disagree. I think people are waking up to the damage that Elrich is doing. It’s very clear to many doing business or living in this county that crime is up. I’ve been a victim of it. It’s also clear to anyone who opens a local paper that we are losing business to neighboring counties. If people open more eyes, Sullivan will get more votes. Sure, Elrich will still win, but I don’t think it will be a usual landslide. |
I would have voted for Floreen but was worried she would split the vote so much that Ficker could win. So I held my nose and voted for Elrich. There is no similar concern this time. My vote easily goes to Sully. |
He's a true Socialist. Not even Democrat. |
| Old white people too busy virtue signaling to vote in diversity to the county leadership. #Sully2022 |
Old white people who are trying to be woke, maybe. This old white person is voting for Sully. |
| Dem here and I'm voting for Sully |
