[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, at least recently. The county executive and several council members at large are from Silver Spring and Takoma Park, and the beliefs there are even farther left than most of the very liberal county.

Regarding Elrich, he was chosen for us by the far left in Takoma Park/Silver Spring. A small plurality of a leftist registered Democrat base (barely) got him a win in the primary and the vast majority general election voters voted for anyone with a D next to their name (save for Hogan) because we despise Trump and want to send him a message. Elrich was not elected by a majority of voters enthusiastically voting for a socialist. The upside is that Elrich doesn't appear to be governing as one.[/quote]

Knows it would not be prudent or well received. I voted for him, because I really disliked both other candidates not because I liked him.

I'm actually a former republican who has also gone further left as the republican party has gone to the fundamentalist right. [/quote]
