[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't decided who I'll vote for yet (other than not Ficker) but I don't understand this "party unity" nonsense. I'm a registered Democrat, but I will vote for the best candidate, regardless of party. The idea of party first is one of the major problems in our country today - haven't we all wondered why none of the Republicans in Congress are standing up to Trump? It's because of "party unity" and it's terrible. Life and people don't fit into just 2 categories, and we shouldn't blindly follow someone just because they happen to have a D or an R next to their name.

In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm getting really irked at the Elrich supporters who I've heard making this argument and calling Floreen undemocratic. What in the world is undemocratic about running for office? Like I said, I haven't decided who to vote for (I voted Frick in primary) but this argument is a strike against Elrich for me. He is not entitled to the office. The Democratic process is not being undermined by the inclusion of an independent. [/quote]

Because if you are a minority, you are getting truly hurt by the Republicans.  If you care about minorities and civil rights for all, you’ll vote democrat until we can solidify those rights again for everyone. This is in all offices, not just federal.

It’s not about Elrich specifically. [/quote]

But Floreen is a Democrat and [b]will enact Democratic policies.[/b]  The "I" next to her name doesn't change that.[/quote]

This is county government. County government is primarily concerned with trash pick-up, potholes, permits, and school funding. What are Democratic vs. Republican policies on these issues?

You obviously aren’t following MoCo closely enough. It’s about whether we “build it and they will come” or whether we stage development to ensure our roads, schools, sewers, etc work. Build it and be damned is Republican/ Floreen. Ensuring we have appropriate growth and infrastructure is Elrich. He has never taken a cent from developers. Floreen is at their beck and call.

Yummy, kool aide, perfect for a summer day.  Not so perfect for a county that needs jobs and a viable tax base.[/quote]
