How in the Hell did Fetterman win? How is that even possible?

I told my husband that either there was egregious cheating or the voters there are retarded. He reminded me of the cheating in Philly.

Both I think.

Overheard two weeks ago, in PGH: "it doesn't matter if Fetterman is impaired or even dies. What matters is the Democrats keep control." It's fealty to the tribe.

It is not about voting "for" anything. It is about voting "against" something.

UNQUESTIONABLY what's going on, seen everywhere.

ONLY the colour of the team T-shirt worn matters.

"Just a great celebration of freedom" said someone in my insta feed about a photo she posted of yard signs of Fetterman, Shapiro, and Summer Lee. She then closed her post with the prompt "make sure to vote to uphold our freedoms". Again, Pittsburgh (East End). Our versions of 'freedom' seem so vastly different.

They are concerned about one "freedom" only. The freedom to kill their own child if they think they will be inconvenienced in any way by that child.

"Freedom" to engage in any woke behavior you want with a Nanny State to tell you what to do and provide for everything. "Liberty" from gov't tyranny along with self-determination and responsibility is our definition of freedom. Two diametrically opposed ideologies. Ideas have consequences.

If Fetterman dies, another Democrat will be inserted into his position for the remainder of his term. In California, one of our senators (democrat Dianne Feinstein, 89) is to all reports incapacitated by dementia and has been so for perhaps a year or two. She has been invisible for a long time and is apparently no longer capable of fulfilling her position to the voters, but SOMEONE is voting on her behalf and pretending it is her considered vote. It will be the same with Fetterman.

Early voting. Iirc, they started voting a few weeks before the "debate" where he showcased his "recovery."

"Hello. Good night everybody."

Gotta wonder how many people wished they could change their vote after that...

In the debate ‘I’m for fracking, um um not, I’m definitely for fracking’ I’m paraphrasing of course, but I’m sure we can find the recording. It was just so bizarre.

My guess? Low information voters, voting by party only. Before Trump, I too once was one.

Wishful thinking!! 😜

Not to say cheating is absent for it sure is rampant; just don't discount the big part the regular insane-voting folks play 😟 Roles leading vs supporting, which is which me [sincerely] wonders. Self-reinforcing vicious feedback loop?

Unprecedented spending. Fetterman had approx $50 million vz Oz $12 million. Plus Fetterman had another $100+ million in "soft money" & "dark money".

For reference, in 2000 Al Gore had $80 million in soft money (for a nationwide, presidential campaign) and people were up in arms about it being historically high & crooked to try to buy an election.

In hindsight this was probably predictable, but as an outsider I was pretty confident in Oz (sigh). I literally heard local Pittsburg ABC talking head say, His disability isn't a big deal, being Senator isn't that hard, all you have to do is show up and push a button for your party vote. Yikes! Their best campaign pitch for Fetterman was: Even a monkey can do it. And voters bought it apparently.

Loved this… “Even a monkey can do it. And voters bought it apparently”.…Maybe I need to run!!!

"Push a button for your party vote." YES....that is more or less what it has devolved into. Parties vote as a block. Rarely a dissenter unless the person is in a "safe" position to do so, just for optics. Joe Manchin did that. Seems he has disappeared and has merged into the Democrat block to become invisible.

I did see a Project Veritas video report last night showing some egregious electioneering going on with voters that were standing in line in Pennsylvania. That's at least part of it.

The people in Pennsylvania need to rise up and get organized.

He had a D by his name. And is going to vote the way he is told to vote. Bottom line, D voters don't want to lose the ability to kill their own children.

My husband just now said, he’ll quit for health reasons and the gov will appoint someone just as horrible, sans the brain damage.

The plan all along, according to Pennsylvanians, is for his wife to take over
