I'm in the same boat. Can't really stand the guy, but respect the call. I still assume it's positioning and will reemerge in a bit and pass under the radar barrelled into some other bill.

Well, it's not easy at all when you're a corrupt scumbag like every Baltimore politician proves to be time after time. "Maybe the next one will be better" - Idiot Baltimore voters

Good Chinese food in Baltimore doesn't exist.

I don't think anyone cares about *that* part of the harbor.

5th floor of my house.

I've lived in most major East Coast cities and Philly feels just as small as Baltimore compared to both NYC and Toronto. Baltimore is barely smaller than DC.

I have also lived in both and out of all East Coast cities, Philly is absolutely the closest to Baltimore and it's not even close. Few very nice spots and disaster everywhere else. Huge drug and crime problems. Similar markets and restaurant scene (although Philly has much better versions of both). Massive universities predominantly focused on medicine. Other industries are quite similar as well. Hell, similar accents that you don't hear anywhere else. Football fans who like teams everyone else either hate or ignore. Dive bars are carbon copies. Pretty crappy Chinese and Mexican food in both cities. Economically, very similar demographics even though racial blend is different. Baltimore has a much more extensive marina as a differentiator, but it's not like Richmond is more extensive than Philly. Roads are in severe disrepair in both cities. I can't even think of many ways they're different outside of size.

The only way for a city to be more like Baltimore on the EC is if Richmond and Norfolk merged.

I like Conor's music, but I wouldn't be caught dead at a show.

Joke's on you, special interests are way more aligned with my needs than any populist could ever be.

Can't wait for all these jackasses to get washed away.

Because they're mostly paid shills. The people have spoken and they are hugely in favor of term limits despite whatever disinformation is being spread.

Baltimore voters are too stupid to be trusted to do the right thing in aggregate. The base of this city is really uneducated and wouldn't know how to vote in their own best interests to save their life.

You'll find a way to do something stupid regardless of what I say, since you're an idiot and all.

I know. And you're an idiot for using that as the main basis of your decision-making. Not a gotcha, just an observation.

So you exactly agree that you're only against it because Sinclair is for it. You seem to be an incredible critical thinker who can assess issues for what they are without being steered by what other people think.

>it would essentially force there to be an all new city council, new council president and new mayor at the same time which would be terrible for institutional memory

This sounds like the best possible thing that could befall Baltimore.

I feel like I've been witnessing a huge misinformation campaign around Question K. Who in their right mind looks at Baltimore city politicians and thinks "yeah, they're mostly doing a great job, let's keep em!?"

No, that just creates holistically harmful policies that pander to a base at opportune times. Since everyone here seems to be part of that base, I'm not at all surprised at the state of the city.

Knowledge in government, good one. It will be such a dark day to lose all the wonderful knowledge around grifting taxpayers, redistributing wealth to criminals, making laws unenforceable, and ignoring infrastructure.

Maybe they care about their city and putting policies in place that will eventually lead to attracting businesses and taxpayers. Getting rid of the entirely corrupt leadership sounds like a great start.

It's OK, please don't worry, the criminal who robbed you will soon be getting paid to not do so to others.
