I will literally vote for the spawn of Satan and Hitler before I ever vote for a rethug. I’d literally hang myself before voting for one.

When your own policies hit you directly in the face and impact your life, you will quietly and secretly vote conservative. A conservative is simply a liberal who has not been mugged yet.

DP. Untrue... lived in DC for a decade. Had all sorts of experiences, negative and positive. Still liberal. And in spite of what everyone told me, I've gotten even more liberal now that I'm a parent with small children and a reasonably decent HHI. The overall policies of the Republican party just do not align with my values. You guys gave us that vile orange thing and cannot be trusted.

Yeah, but you guys gave us the half-wit in the White House now.

That’s an insult to half-wits everywhere. Shame!

There's nothing wrong with having lofty goals. I'm European. Member states have set very ambitious goals for themselves for various climate change actions. Nobody expects to see them fulfilled in their original timeline, but there is extraordinary power in the VISION and the COMMITMENT. It's better than none, and all Europeans will work towards those goals, knowing the deadlines will be pushed back again and again, that funding will be lacking, that special interests will whittle away at industrial regulations, etc... The point is to have a UNIFYING FORWARD MOMENTUM. We'll get there one day.

So I approve of this person's plan. He's not doing this in a vacuum. Most of the world, with the ridiculous exception of certain backward-looking Americans from the dark ages, is doing the same thing.

Spending $400k on a draft? "... climate czarina..."? What a bunch of weirdos.

Reality sucks, I guess.

Reality sucks, I guess.

I am moderately left wing, but this kind of navel-gazing virtue-signaling leftism annoys the crap out of me.

We need practical people who focus on improving the lives of the inhabitants. Not renaming schools or setting crazy targets for eliminating attainment gaps.

When Marc Elrich led a 2017 effort by the Montgomery County Council to set some of the most ambitious climate goals in the country, he didn’t have a “a clear path” for how to reach them.
At the time, Elrich (D) says, “we only had a clear desire.”

“When you’re an activist, you want everything tomorrow. I would ask for the same thing,” said Elrich, who as a young man was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society. “Figuring out how to get things done is different.”

This commenter summarized it perfectly:

Now that Elrich is the County Executive he realizes most of his social justice and climate change ideas are impractical to implement at the local level. Our local government should be concerned on providing good schools, roads, police and EMS services. At the same time they need to be fiscally responsible and not take on every feel good activist issue that comes along.
Montgomery County has more than its fair share of wannabe hippies, but if you don't have a tax base to run a great county we are left with more takers than givers.

Ding ding ding. That’s Montgomery County. Navel gazing wokesters who are “alarmed and confused” when their utopian ideas are impossible to implement or they don’t work. I love how Marc Elrich, the socialist, is facing the ire of other socialists as he bungles his way finding out that socialism doesn’t work.
