[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only competent member is Friedson.

1/3 of MoCo registered voters are independents, [b]so we get no voice in the primaries[/b]. We need open primaries.[/quote]

Have you considered switching your party registration so that you can have a voice in the primaries?[/quote]

That’s not an acceptable solution, in my opinion.

I used to think more highly of Friedson, but then he got on the Casey Anderson/Hans Riemer developer subsidy/trickle-down economics bandwagon. [/quote]

Why is it not acceptable?[/quote]

This won’t be a popular opinion in Montgomery County, but I think government should represent everyone and political parties should always seek to broaden participation, even among people who aren’t affiliated with them. This is even more important when one major party has consolidated power to the point that the other party is unable to field viable candidates or even run contested primaries. A lot of people don’t feel represented at all and are not willing to affiliate with a party. [/quote]
