Again I don't love Elrich - he's just an old curmudgeon in a Che Guevara shirt yelling at the sky. Fine by me, he does nothing. He was elected by a ragtag group of hippies and leftists and union people who are completely harmless because all they ever due is argue in the basement about Marxist theory and tree canopies. But I like to see rich people whine. Especially the nouveau-riche who recently moved into multimillion dollar houses and then complain about having to pay taxes. Serves you right. What none of you realize is whoever is at the helm will have very little impact of what actually happens here. What people don't know is that the county can't operate at a deficit, so everyone will have to make budget cuts and nobody will be happy and everyone is going wrap what they do in social justice language. It's all the same. Nothing at all will change. So I'm going to vote for the guy who makes you all mad just because he doesn't fit your image of wealth and prestige or whatever and makes you whine. I like seeing rich people get all bothered and outraged over things. It makes me laugh.
You sound like a strange version of the stick-it-to-the-liberals Trumpers, but suit yourself.
Not a Trumper. I would never vote for an actual fascist just to own the libs, but I will definitely vote for Old Man Yells At Cloud (Elrich) to own the libs. Sometimes the liberals just need some owning, and MoCo is the literal capital of Shitlibistan.
By the way, leftists hate liberals just a s much as conservatives.
No, it’s the owning the libs attitude that’s reminiscent of the Trumpers- voting for someone merely to piss a certain group off.
Like I said, if it makes you feel better, suit yourself. There are plenty of non-rich moderate-for-Moco Dems like myself (and my independent DH who I keep trying to convince to register Dem to he can vote in the primary) who doesn’t think Elrich is best suited to run the county. Have two young kids so I have a lot more to consider when casting my vote than pissing off some Bethesda elite.
The difference between you and me is that you are still gaslit enough to believe that it actually makes any difference.
All things being equal - which they are, entirely - I'm going to vote for the person who pisses off the Bethesda elite, with glee.

I think Blair probably would have been fine, and may have won if it weren’t for the Trump effect- a lot of unease about electing another inexperienced businessman. But really, county exec is probably the right sort of position for someone with a business and management background.

Anyone else signal they’re going to run in the primary? Enrich only got something like 30-35% of the vote in the primary last time, right? We just need to rally around one viable alternative.

Leggett would have done a much better job, he would have been more visible and had the right people leading the way.

Because he's on a mission for equity and social justice. Also, he's been in public service for decades.. he knows nothing else.
He thinks very highly of himself.

I am an independent voter- but will switch to D so I can vote for someone else in the primaries. He does not deserve a second term.

What's the end goal here of this? He's over 70 years old and doesn't seem like he enjoys the job. Any chance we can knock him off in the primary or convince Nancy Floreen to run in the General election again.
