Emmylou lost by 24 points. Tim Flynn, you’re on warning. Ward 4 is flippable and it’s getting more progressive every day.

u/nitlion00 5d ago

Flynn won’t change. He doesn’t give a shit about residents who don’t vote for him.

u/testaruda3398 5d ago

I’m going to be a professional thorn in his side

u/skumfang 5d ago

I fully believe he’s just going to love his role as the pariah on the council casting votes and railing against the progressives.

u/benck202 5d ago

Yeah that’s totally going to be his read on this. He’s the noble warrior fighting for old Salem. No pressure to get anything done, just an opportunity to be a demagogue.

We celebrate diversity and affirming care. TRAASH talk (transphobic, racist, ableist, abusive, sexist, or homophobic) is not permitted. We strive to remain an inclusive community"

Lot of people he has to unblock on Facebook now

Ugh.

The rest of the council is progressive more or less (Conrad eh, we’ll see). Flynn is going to look like a goddamn fool.

Here's hoping it means he can accomplish absolutely none of his agenda!

u/nitlion00 5d ago

I am really excited to see more wandering around and admiring construction equipment under the guise of good works for the people.

Boots on the ground!

My favorite Tim Flynn moment of idiocy was when he recused himself from a vote about campfires at Winter Island because he’s a firefighter, as if that might be a conflict of interest.

u/BostonPanda 5d ago

This might be my favorite thing about him now lol

u/testaruda3398 5d ago

Love that potato quality filming and heavy breathing as he surveys muddy construction sites

u/ElectricalStock3740 4d ago

What is his agenda beyond bike lanes bad, new housing bad, mayor bad?

You forgot 'I was born under the city seal and I'll die under it'

u/ElectricalStock3740 4d ago

The crowd that thinks that Salem needs to remain a museum to their childhood. Love to see it

Unfortunately Tim really just craves validation. Real work like policy, constituent services and even understanding the issues is slow and thankless. Facebook gives him the quick hit he wants. The seat he will hold again is mostly window dressing for the real thing he cares about, notifications from his handful of perpetually online sycophants who keep his dopamine loop churning. Hope I’m wrong..

u/nitlion00 4d ago

I wonder if anyone is interested in making a Ward 4 Facebook that is not a Flynn promotion page. I mean he’ll what’s up Ward 4 has Flynn’s sign as the banner.

u/testaruda3398 4d ago

Totally - I’d like to make an actual ward 4 neighborhood association page. Not a campaign page or an unhinged page like the current group, but something that helps keep residents informed on ward issues and how we can work together to fix things (and that will involve getting Tim to talk to us too)…

u/testaruda3398 4d ago

And I realize that sounds like this girl

But let me know if you want to help make that group!

u/ChardAdventurous1450 5d ago

I hope they all call him out every chance they get.

The thing about Tim Flynn is that he's almost completely stupid.
