You win elections in Montgomery County by winning 20,000 votes (out of a county of 1 million) in an At Large primary with 33 candidates, [b]nearly all from Takoma Park and Silver precincts[/b] (same voters voting for same candidates) or about 6,000 votes in a district primary where having $$$ donors is a huge advantage.

Maybe people who live in other parts of the county should work harder at getting voters to vote.

In 2018, in the Democratic primary, of the at-large county council candidates, Hans Riemer got 54,584 votes, Will Jawando got 43,154 votes, Evan Glass got 35,600 votes, and Gabe Albornoz got 33,050 votes.[/quote]

Lol. So when a pro-developer candidate wins, it has nothing to do with the candidate being in favor of his big donors? Instead it’s everyone else’s fault?[/quote]

Fault? When a candidate wins, it's because that candidate got the most votes. So whether or not the candidate favors policies that are "pro-developer" in your opinion, and whether or not donations from developers are the reason for the candidate's position, the fact is: the most voters voted for that candidate.[/quote]
