[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step 1: Stop putting your hopes on the general election. Only Democrats win County Executive in MoCo. The time to make a change was in the primary.

Step 2: Identify the issues that actually impact you personally, and speak to your elected officials about those issues.

Step 3: If it is so bad that you'd rather live in a more "balanced" jurisdiction, then move there. Personally I like places run by people who don't hate transgender people and support abortion rights, so I'm pretty thankful to be living here.[/quote]

This.

I don't like Elrich, but did you really think Sullivan had a chance? The primary is where the fight is in MoCo. Anyone who defines themselves as an independent or moderate should register as a democrat to have their voice heard. Hell, even hard-core republicans would be wise to register as democrats to have a better chance of having an impact. Being registered as an independent or republican in MoCo is a waste - you are throwing away your vote.

The Council is actually pretty responsive to citizen feedback. It's just that 90% of the feedback they get comes from the Takoma Park/Silver Spring crowd. Get involved!

And yes, even though I'm not quite as far left as most of our county representatives, I would still rather be here than most other places. My only real problem with MoCo politics is the failing business environment. I'm a huge fan of social equity programs, but Council does seem to forget that we need stable businesses in the County to form a solid tax base.[/quote]
+1  If you are a R or Independent, your vote is wasted here.  You need to register as a D to vote in the D primaries to make your voice heard.[/quote]
