I didn’t vote for Perez either but while he was DNC chair the Democrats gained back control of the House, the Presidency, and the Senate. Really not sure how anyone could call that an “absolute disaster.”


The presidential nomination process was a disaster and he consistently favored candidates too far to the left to win.

Scoreboard.

Expecting integrity and honesty from a candidate is not “values signaling.” We all make mistakes in life and I can accept that candidates are human, but when I see repeated red flags of dishonesty, it is absolutely going to cause me to pause. I felt the same way with Biden at first, considering his repeated allegations of plagiarism. I voted for him, as I will Moore, but it will absolutely be with reservation. I value honesty.
It’s a moral high horse that Ds love to perch themselves upon an end up looking like hypocrites in the process. His mother moved to Pasadena when he was 16, while he attended middle school. It Is quite common for AA who grew up in Pasadena or Columbia to spend their time in Baltimore as teenagers. The book is telling the story of how his life could’ve gone in a very different direction and the fact that he split time between the Bronx, MD and military school and became a scholar is the point of his story. Thinking like yours is exactly why decent people don’t run for office.

As they say in Texas, when it comes to real accomplishments, Wes Moore is “all hat and no cattle.”

I was torn between Moore and Perez, but objectively, Perez has far more experience working in government and politics than Moore. How is that even a question? Whether you think Perez did a good job in his positions is subject to debate.

Just stop. He literally said in interviews that he and the other Wes Moore grew up in the same streets. I’m not saying this is a fatal flaw, but please stop pretending that he didn’t completely misrepresent his background in the name of selling a book. The insistence that the misrepresentation didn’t take place makes it worse.

And a lot of people thought Glenn Youngkin could never, ever beat Terry. Virginia is a blue state, case closed.

Uh...

This is a totally different circumstance. Absolutely no comparison.

The denial is becoming Trumpian. I didn’t say so, Wes Moore said so. Read the CNN article linked above.

I read the article, the book and listened to his speeches, your assertions are a stretch.

It’s a stretch to say that someone who didn’t grow up in Baltimore is misrepresenting where he is from when he says/writes that he and another man with the same name, who did in fact grow up in Baltimore, grew up at the same time in the same streets? Your idea of being honest and forthright is clearly different than mine. It’s this type of playing fast and loose with the truth that bothers me, along with the unwillingness to own it or correct it.

Though at this point it doesn’t matter because I’m not voting for Dan Cox. So it’s Moore or bust.

Here’s a CNN article breaking it down:

Fascinating.

Different poster here and you captured my thoughts exactly. I suspect there will be many others who question this dishonesty.

My kids are growing up as close to Baltimore as Pasadena and if they ever said they grew up in Baltimore I would laugh in their faces! Absurd.
