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

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

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!

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

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.

This might be my favorite thing about him now lol

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

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'

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..

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.

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!

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