[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t suspect.  They are going to let it happen and democrat voters will still vote for them.  Democrats are the ultimate tribalists.  They will not turn their back on the party even as it literally treats them like dirt and ruins their lives.  It’s stunning. It’s why people who aren’t blue literally just move away.  That leaves only democrats living in their crap holes.  And then crazy stuff starts like in California where they want to tax people for moving away.  [/quote]

I think there are a lot of super partisan folks on this site who bash all Democrats or bash all Republicans, and that's fine, but there are a lot of folks just irritated with current politicians generally.  Like it or not, we can dislike Trump and some of the local Democrats in equal measure.  It creates a lot of suspicion on our parts when issues like this come up - it's entirely possible that Democrats who want to ram a Tysons casino down our throats are coordinating with other Democrats who know their constituents don't want one.  The latter get to vote against a casino and send out emails professing their opposition, which is probably fine with the likes of Scott Surovell since he knows he has enough votes.  It's not like the Democrats who claim to oppose a casino will call Surovell out by name or even acknowledge that it wouldn't be moving forward without a lot of Democratic supporters.  Maybe there's a legitimate split within the party, or maybe it's just been orchestrated to protect incumbents. [/quote]

What's annoying about this crop of politicians is that this is the best idea they could come up with to generate revenue in the county. Their other plan is stop the data centers, the only growth industry in Fairfax County. I guess the plan to hold out until Democrats control Congress again and demand more six figure WFH federal jobs.
