[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I don't know who to vote for/against - but I strongly disagree with the proposed changes to zoning.

Who should I vote for or against?

Thank you![/quote]

Well, you vote against term limits to try to keep Elrich for a while.

You can look up others running to see where they align on any similar issues.

You can always vote for Hogan as a protest.[/quote]

As a protest against what? Hogan is a developer.[/quote]

A protest vote.  You can vote for Hogan as a message to Maryland Democrats, including local ones in the county pushing this upzoning nonsense, that just because we are a blue state doesn’t mean that we aren’t without power to make disagreement known within the party.  Our own little “uncommitted” campaign, in a way.[/quote]

Ah yes, the time-tested strategy of helping MAGA hold national power because you're upset that your county council might allow duplexes in your neighborhood.[/quote]

Selfishly, this impacts my day to day life more than Larry Hogan in Senate. [/quote]

Voting for Larry Hogan will accomplish literally nothing about the zoning proposal. It won't even send a "protest" message.

Meanwhile, voting for Larry Hogan risks putting MAGA in power, which actually would impact your day to day life a lot more than the zoning proposal.[/quote]

I know what will impact my life a lot more and I promise you, Larry Hogan or not, I will be more unhappy if my neighborhood starts to look like unkept. I actually prefer Kamala for President and a divided house/senate. I don't want all Ds, checks and balances are healthy.[/quote]

You're not voting for Hogan as a "protest" vote against local zoning changes, you're voting for Hogan because you want to vote for Hogan.[/quote]

I am

I've voted D my whole life but I am getting sick of some of their agenda. It's all robbing Peter to pay for Paul. There is way too much hate towards successful individuals and complaining about what we have. Leave me alone, I am not the problem. The Elon Musks of the world are the problem.[/quote]

Then your vote is irrelevant to the topic of this thread.[/quote]

The only hope is that corporate democrats or sensible republicans run for county council in 2026 to reduce the current power of the currently elected clowns. [/quote]

I don't know where you will find any "sensible Republicans" to do that. Their track record in the last 20+ years in the county has not been great.

Corporate Democrats have run for the County Council, but they haven't won, because they couldn't persuade a majority of voters to vote for them (unlike the current council members).[/quote]

I am a Democrat trhough and through but I hate to say, Moco was a much better place to raise a family 20 - 30 years ago..[/quote]
