How to bring Maryland (and other states) back to sanity from the brink of extremes

[Anonymous]

I’ve told my Republican friends in DC to do the same - vote for moderate Dems in the primaries.

Unfortunately, I find Republicans to be extremely wedded to the “conservative” identity because it’s a big signifier in their communities (white, wealthy). Registering as a democrat to strategically vote in the primary is a bridge too far for them.

OP is one of the few sane people on this board, and is 100% correct.

Well you got several great extremist possibilities: Ehrlich, Raskin, Mosby (if she can stay out of jail), and Franchot.

Doing and voting exactly opposite of what the SS/TP cartel wants.

Sorry, Hogan has actively threatened public safety during this Omicron surge. He also flouts open records laws of MD by using self-destroying message app to communicate un-PC screeds to his team. WaPo reported on this recently.

We need more people like Elrich, who has been measured and consistent throughout the pandemic.

Hogan is also responsible for desecrating the sovereignty of Baltimore city and flooding the streets with racist state police for no justifiable reason.

I’m not sure that I follow the complaint. Until 2020 BCPD was a state agency. Control of the police was given back to the city during Hogan’s governorship.

This is like some up-is-downism. All BCPD officers were state police until 2021 when the assembly passed and Hogan signed a bill delegating the authority of the BCPD to local control.

I’m sure a lot of Democrats will agree with you that the former Republican governor of MD is an extremist.

The supreme court should throw out the system where politicians choose their voters, rather than the other way around.

That alone would do a lot to restore moderation in this country.

None of the first three are running and if you think Franchot is an extremist you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Because Baltimore could use less police.

So, Republicans vote for "status" instead of beliefs???

Sorry, I would vote for Hogan again, and will not vote for Elrich. Hogan has done a solid job.

Agree. The SS/TP folks need to get real jobs, for once.
