[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Messing around with people's homes.  See Thrive 2050. It's going to piss a lot of people off. Red wave will come. Maybe not at the national level for electing a President, but at the local level we may see a lot more power transfer to more conservative pols that will lead to a better balance of power. [/quote]
I'd be shocked if this happened in MoCo.  As long as the Rs are moderates, I would vote for them. But not the current crop of crazy Rs.  Someone like Greene or Boebert would not win here.[/quote]

It makes sense if you consider Blair the R in this scenario.

A registered R will not win in MoCo.

But a moderate D will act as a balance to the far left that is Elrich

At the state level, I expect to see Schultz as our next Gov.  I believe MD will elect another moderate R[/quote]

But the thing is Elrich is not the extremist in this issue. Elrich is a moderate on housing, he doesn’t want to eliminate single family zoning and has a more measured approach to development (but contrary to popular belief he isn’t actually against all development) Riemer in this case is the extremist. I will vote against anyone who holds the woke YIMBY but actually YIYBY (yes in your backyard) position.  [/quote]

Yes, that is true.  Elrich is not the most extreme on the house listing.

I was posting about Blair playing the role of a R in the upcoming primary more in response the general OP question about how a red wave would reach MD.

But I agree with you.  Elrich is much more 'status quo' when it comes to house.  And that's probably because he lives in TP and wants to keep his charming street charming, and his property value high.  So of course, his progressive values go out the window once it would personally impact him.

But outside this one issue, it's safe to say he's been on the far left of the political spectrum, even for MoCo.  Blair is as close to a R that can win as we can get[/quote]
