[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery County has become a joke.

For the record, I'm a Democrat. A disillusioned Democrat, but still registered as one so I can have a chance to elect moderates in local elections. But I'm about to give up and move to Fairfax - where my new job is, where ALL THE JOBS ARE.
I would never vote for a Republican at the national level with the current clown circus that is the Party of Trump, but living in a One Party jurisdiction is NOT A GOOD THING.

Montgomery County politicians and the people who put them there are a parody of themselves. Their latest "community forum on policing" was 100% about complaining about how police officers are racist...I'm a classical liberal - I'm for equality of opportunity, judging on content of our character, participating in a market equality. Meanwhile in MoCo, the Government is the biggest employer and it chooses based on identity politics and how woke you are.

...
One of two things will happen. Either the two factions of the extreme left will eat each other up and the County will elect sensible moderates, or the county will continue its decline into becoming a socialist backwater. I hope it's the former, but I'm not sticking around for the latter. #Bye.[/quote]

Check out the Fairfax County Democratic Primary Results.  Descano over Murrough. Palchick won Providence district instead of 2 or more sensible moderates.  Our non-partisan school board elections are a sham.  You have to pay to join the FCDC to vote in their endorsement election.  Incidentally the school board controls a 3 billion dollar budget and "voters" in the straw vote don't have to eligible to register to vote in the general election.

That is a far larger budget /bigger deal than Takoma Park local elections.  [b]Unless you work in Fairfax County I wouldn't move since it is more of the same.[/b]  Plus FX has a school board member , Harvard JD, that voted in Alexandria while serving as an appointed school board member.  Got caught and my party continued endorsing Moon for decades.  Moderate classic Democrats are also adrift across the river.  Both jurisdictions are hyper-focused on one demographic subset.  [/quote]
