On man, I’d never thought of it that way. Being an SB member sounds like a tough job for anyone, and probably much more so when you’re a one-issue candidate and your biggest boosters start yelling at you all the time because you’re a single vote on a five member board and can’t deliver anything on your one issue.


Exactly this. Let's see how quickly APE turns on Miranda when she can't deliver on anything and falls into line. A few tough'ish questions won't mollify them, not when they want to see Duran's head on a platter.


Omg. That is terrible. Imagine those angry APE dad bros screaming at her?

Me too. She sent me a text and didn’t even get my name right. So… Miranda got a vote from me!

I voted for Miranda because Sex and the City was my favorite show.

I’m a Republican and voted for Kadera. She seems less annoying.

Yes, this. I started off pretty undecided, both candidates seem fairly similar and kids will hopefully be back in school before the winner takes office. But Kadera’s people posting insane accusations on Facebook is a huge turn off. Accusing Turner of intimidating people with ice cream and puppies? What?? I was already leaning towards Turner before the latest round of nonsense but I went ahead and voted for her today. If Kadera’s people could keep their mouths shut and focus on the issues, their candidate might win.


I went hunting for this after I saw this post. The complaints about a candidate standing near a school with an attractive dog somehow means voter intimidation???? That is totally hysterical. umm voter intimidation with dogs usually means aggressive police dogs around a polling place snarling at people- https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/2020/10/26/voter-intimidation-concerns-after-sheriffs-k-9-seen-york-city-ballot-drop-box/6044780002/

not a candidate with a cute puppy that makes kids want to approach the dog...

So you lied? Falsely stated you were a Democrat in order to influence the results of a Democratic caucus? Cool, cool. Care to share how many of your Republican friends are doing the same?


I am a Democrat and can comfortably sign the pledge, but I think the whole thing is load of horseshit and Arlington Dems get what they deserve for trying to manipulate what is supposed to be a non-partisan race like this.

it doesn't matter. She has AEA's endorsement along with the endorsements of most of the current prominent democratic "leaders" (deFerranti, Takis, etc.)


Lol. That will sway some people but prob not always the way intended.

If Turner wins this, you can be sure ACDC will never do internet voting again.


Why would AC/DC have a problem with Turner? She’s a Dem.......right?


She’s a dem, sure, but she’s not one of them. The whole point of the caucus is to make sure that the correct dem wins.


No, Miranda is an old family friend of Vihstadt and she’s been installed by him as a puppet. She’s the right Dem alright - for the GOP! Just ask her Fox News reporter buds and GOP lobbyist backers and investment banker friends!


Well now I know you’re straight making shit up, which is to be expected on DCUM. I am friends with Vishstadt and was talking to him about this race. He has only met Miranda recently and certainly is not family friends with her.

I think Kadera's campaign has "gone low" a bunch of times. I don't think Turner's campaign has. I can see where people may complain about some of the people in APE. But nothing Turner has put out is anything like the dirt Kadera keeps trying to throw at Turner.

I voted for Turner but was feeling OK if Kadera won, but this is pushing me to the camp of "I officially don't like her."
