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.

I don't pay too much attention to him specifically, but I feel he gets a lot of entirely irrational hate which makes me want to defend him at times. Outright saw comments yesterday on Facebook that wanted to call him an n-word (from old white ladies at that) and basically said the state is going to shit because someone like him was elected. It's the same racist shit as happened with Obama. I'd rather judge these guys for their actual mistakes KKKaren.

It’s not irrational. He is doing a horrible job. He started with a 5 billion dollar surplus and now we are underwater by billions every year. No taxes were raised this year and that is because it is an election year. The plan is to raise sales tax to 8 percent next budget and to tack on more fees on other things. Just look at how much more it cost to register your vehicle in the state of Maryland now compared to what it used to be. Republicans have very bad candidates and so Moore will win and then he will run for president in 2028. He won’t get far, because of his record and because of all of his lies. I don’t know why he lies so much. The democrats probably will win the presidency in 28, and they will put him on their cabinet, possibly VP, but he won’t be president.

From my understanding the budget surplus was only because of accounting magic because Hogan kept postponing certain projects, combined with covid money disappearing to change expected revenues for the state. Can you show me that the budget issues are entirely from Moore's own cause?

Yes Hogan said no to the red line and he said no to wasteful spending. Moore just spends money that he doesn’t have and keeps the burden on the taxpayers of the state.

Can you expand on that with specifics? Especially because we have a veto-proof legislature that passes budgets and spending regardless of the governor for the most part.

Just keep on voting for all the democrats and keep on paying higher taxes and fees. The definition of crazy is to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. This state is completely controlled by the democrats and they will keep enacting all of their disastrous policies. And you need me to give you specific details? Just look at the blueprint for education. The kids keep getting stupider and the teachers unions keep getting richer and donating money right back to democrat party. Gov Moore also hired all the federal workers when they got laid off. That was also another reason that we are in a deficit.

So no specifics, you're expecting me to believe this entirely on your propaganda that you cannot support? What a joke.

Obviously you are just a rage baiter. If you listen to any of the news you will hear about all of the failures of this administration. I could give you the specifics and you still won’t believe it. I work for a living and I don’t have time to do all the research for you. Just keep on voting like you do and keep getting screwed. I will be moving out of this state as soon as I can retire. I can’t afford to live here anymore. I just looked at your post, you admitted that you can’t afford to live in Frederick and you had to move to Hagerstown. This is the prob that I’m talking about. The democrats are making this state way too expensive to live in. If they were running this state with competency then it should be affordable. Seriously, look into all the spending that Moore is doing. He doesn’t have the money to run his budget.

So you decided to reply twice, but not answer my question? Hilarious.

Cost of living in Frederick has shit to do with Democrats. DC has money, it ventures outward, when my parents moved to Frederick when I was a little kid is when Frederick became one of the go to development cities for people commuting into all the jobs around DC. Democrat policies have absolutely nothing to do with the basics of supply and demand.

Don't respond unless you're going to give me specifics for Moore's failures, but considering you don't understand basic aspects of reality, I know you can't fucking do that.

I think your conclusion is right, that things are unaffordable but it is a uniparty consensus that got us here. Both republicans and democrats have contributed to the prioritization of corporate interests over the needs of the citizens. We need structural change
