[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The developers seem to already be out in full force already in this thread. Let's be clear: lots of people support term limits regardless of which candidate it affects. I enthusiastically support Elrich, but I think two terms is enough for anyone. Just think about it: tons of people like their Congressperson but think Congress needs term limits. Same idea. Just because you like a candidate, that doesn't mean you believe they are entitled to hold an office forever.

The developers have a tough time understanding this concept because their hatred of Elrich runs so deep and so they think everyone else must hate him also. But the truth is that developers are truly reviled by the majority of voters, and Elrich is very popular. He easily would have won a third term, which is why the developers put forth the term limits idea.[/quote]

Um, people care about a lot of different issues. Not just housing. You are the only monomaniacal poster here.[/quote]

+1. I have plenty of progressive friends who revile Elrich. Apart from his track record on affordable housing, he also has a history of being needlessly combative with other local elected officials, almost all of whom belong to his party. With Trump in the White House, now is the time for unity, not petty infighting, in the Democratic Party.[/quote]

I have plenty of progressive friends who like Elrich a lot. He actually did a great job reigning in the superintendent's irrational capital budget for new schools.[/quote]

- -1 (so +1)? Of course there are progressives who like Elrich a lot. His relationship with unions is pretty baller, for example. However, there are many progressives who realize his leadership is not helpful for the cause and that he cares more about building data centers than affordable housing. Those priorities are seriously off.[/quote]

That man inflated the capital budget costs by 5% or more by insisting on "Net Zero," because he's so environmentally conscious. Yet he wants data centers here? How damaging to the environment can you get? [/quote]
