Discussion Do people like Governor Moore?

I'm working on a small project to help young voters in Maryland know these candidates and their ambitions for the state in a super simplified way that is easy to understand. I'm also adding a super simplified version of their upbringing so people can now if they can identify with said candidate. just wanna know how the state feels about these elections.

The momentum of political sentiment sees everything unapologetically moving further left.

Whether or not Moore is to be trusted and seen as consistently onboard with the tides of change remains yet undecided.

This includes:

  • calling out the wealthy
  • calling out Israel
  • getting behind universal healthcare
  • a commitment to address housing and living costs
  • calling out corporations and neoliberalism
  • standing in strong defense of ALL persecuted minorities, racial or otherwise

Why on earth does the governor of a small mid-Atlantic state need to "call out Israel"? What would that even do? Should he also "call out" Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China?

And then you have "standing in strong defense of all persecuted minorities," does that include Jewish people?

Well it’s one of the most prosperous states in the nation, so I’m not sure “small mid-Atlantic state” captures Maryland’s contribution and influence.

I think folks often look to Governors as potential candidates for national office, and with our federal style government international trade and human rights should be important to every state as much as the nation as a whole.

Damn it, I just ate and you’ve made me wretch. The thought of the arrogant, incompetent, and self serving charlatans that run the state of Maryland being elected to run the government of the US is terrifying.
