Is there any point to voting in my district if the only contested race is lt. gov?

I mean, if Wolf dies in office or is removed, I'd say there's a pretty huge difference between John Fetterman, Mike Stack, Kathi Cozzone or Nina Ahmad running the state, so yeah

yes. cause the LT Gov position will be a tight one.

Been thinking of going Fetterman. Someone tell me why not. I'm all ears

John Cornyn & John Thune want to hear from DJT what this statement on ZTE is, and why. Even his pal Laura Ingram is suspicious. #DamnLibs

you still have state committee people, you can write in people (enough write ins and they get on the ballot), etc

it's also important to become a consistent voter; politicians listen the most to those. your vote becomes your power over them

I met him this past Saturday and he seemed very nice, smart, etc

I voted Nina Ahmad because I like supporting Planned Parenthood and National Organization for Women (she used to run a branch). Ahmad is the only candidate to oppose fracking, so if that is your issue she's also your candidate.

Bacher has the environmental focus that I'm more interested in. Bacher was also sending people door to door for invites to a town hall in Doylestown.

I've seen little from any of the candidates, but there have been a smattering of anti-Wallace signs popping up unattributed to any campaign/funding source which is illegal. Wallace has the support of "the machine" for the most part, but the self-funding aspect is appealing. Also as a multimillionaire against the tax cut, that could be something too. I like Reddick because she's young, a vet, checks boxes that could help in a general election. Bacher, like you said, has some interesting ideas on issues, but he has no real momentum from what I can tell.

Like I said, probably a name out of a hat.

Fetterman because stack sucks and Ahmed isn't going to win the primary.

All the sample ballots I had didn't have the committee people or another section. What the fuck!

I think Fetterman will win simply because Cozzone will take some suburban votes from Stack and Ahmad is going to drive a wedge into Philly votes. Fetterman is left to clean up the entire rest of the state and has been working harder than all of them.

Trump-voting crab town left shell-shocked by his visa changes Trump-voting crab town left shell-shocked by his visa changes

Welp, enough visas for foreign staff to work at Mar-a-Lago bumping profits, but those Ag folks are just going to have to fend for themselves. You would think that American would be jumping at the chance to pick crab meat, but apparently that needs Mexican women.

"I do not have any Americans that want to do this job," said Brian Hall, the owner of G.W. Hall & Sons seafood, one of the few facilities on the island that was able to secure enough H-2B visas this year. "We support a lot of different businesses from a lot of different states and it's all because of these H-2B girls."

can't get Americans to wash dishes, run a deep fryer, mop floors, etc. either.

Pearl Jam puns

My brief research says to vote yes on all three questions. Thoughts?

And, as usual, it doesn't matter.

But given the chance, many Hoopers Island residents say they'd vote for Trump again. They believe that if he only knew about their plight, he would change his policy.

"I just don't think Donald Trump knows what's going on down here right now," Powley said. "Because if you're for business, well, you're putting businesses out of work here."

it's almost like they're voting on their identity more than anything else

i voted yes, no, yes. i could have easily voted No on all of them.

q1: this is just for them to create reports for oversight committee. there's no teeth to it. so in reality they could just be spending at a minimum 500k to write some shit that'll never get implemented in anyway.

q2: i want the Mayor to have full control of who's leading the School Board. Not really interested in a fight between City Council and the Mayor on who should be at the top there. IMO that'll just lead to a substandard candidate.

q3. Sexual Harassment training is bullshit. But i voted yes because even it helps one person its probably worth it.

I know it's our media, and it's quite possible that NBC went around until they found the guy who would still vote for Trump because that's what our media do, but reading these kinds of articles really does make me even more left wing elitist than I already am. Those people need the fucking nanny state.

Just saw a picture of Fetterman, I'm not voting for anyone with a goatee like that.

^^ just another liberal elite

In Nazi Germany many Hitler supporters believed that Hitler didn't know about the persecution of the Jews and others; that it was the work of his subordinates and, if Hitler knew, he'd put a stop to it.

Such is the cult of charisma.

TV's point is well taken but you have to be a special kind of stupid to want to re-elect the guy who is directly responsible for putting you out of business. As cold as it sounds, those folks are getting exactly what they asked for. Adolf's thoughts on immigration were laid bare for all to see and yet they voted for him anyway. Did it not occur to them that their businesses would be negatively impacted by those policies? If not, perhaps they shouldn't be in business anyway.
