Reply to Group backed by Sinclair Broadcast Group chair likely to push for referendum to allow Baltimore recall elections by aresef

I know there will be harsh criticism of this, especially on this sub, but if people vote for it, then isn't that democracy in action? Personally I don't think I support it, but I bet a lot people like the sense of control recalls seem to provide, especially for the perpetually disenfranchised. I mean, California has recall elections all the time.

Maybe if the family had worried less about Baltimore politics and more about their own business, they wouldn't have been saddled with a cratering sports network?

They just blew off a $140 million payment on their $8 billion of debt a few weeks ago. Investors really ought to ask what the family is doing instead of looking at their bottom line.

I wish. Nobody wants to go down that road because they are a media outlet. The thing is, I don’t care if they would just promote republicans or do supposed conservative stuff, okay sure. But they warp everything, do underhanded shit, omit facts, cause chaos at every turn. But if we tried to get rid of them they would act like they were just trying to be good journalists poor ol them.

Best way to see it! Sidewalks along the route itself are crowded, but biking in between the prime spectator areas (Fed Hill, Canton Waterfront, Patterson Park) is excellent, especially compared to trying to park a car.
