You shouldn’t believe it because he didn’t win shite. It’s all part of the WWE script. Dr Oz was a fantastic candidate and big Gov did not want an outsider in there like him. Votes do not matter in this country anymore


I think as a Senator, Oz had the potential to disappoint America First/MAGA types but he was far superior when compared to Festerman.

Two factors, three, maybe four, at work here:

1. Mehmet Oz was an incredibly weak candidate, who failed spectacularly to make a connection with Pennsylvanians. His out of state residence didn't help

2. Trump...is toxic, and Oz had his support.

3. The Democratic brand is solid in PA with its union workers, a huge constituency there. The Democratic candidate, even a flawed one like Fetterman, will guarantee workers' rights.

4. The far-right nut Mastriano was a serious slug for all Republicans in PA from the getgo.

It’s all of the affluent white suburbs in Philly that keep PA a blue state. Pennsylvania is a lot like Virginia; the western side is red due to it being rural, but the majority of the population is based in the huge metropolitan cities on the eastern side which all vote blue

Why?

The opponent was a carpetbagger who was not even a conservative yet because he was backed by Trump, beat GOP opponents who probably would've beaten him.

The basket deplorables here on the echo chamber PT board cannot believe much. The just know that their feelings of wrongdoing concerning elections is right. So many baseless lies, stories, made up alternate facts. Nothing that can be verified in a court of law.

The continued whining from the deplorables is truly tiresome.

I think PA also elected a dead candidate to one of the local big elections (Pittsburgh maybe iirc) back in November at the same time Fester was elected statewide. PA is a special state, and by special I'm referring to the short bus variety.

5. We'll go ahead and elect a man that has the mental capacity of an 8 year old and the critical thinking skills of a toddler because he will either resign on his own or die within the first few weeks of taking office. We call them place holders down here.

Two reasons-
1. All they had to do was focus on flipping 5 cities in states that Trump won in 2016, Philly, Detroit, ATL, Milwaukee, & Phoenix. It was planned in advance & they rigged them all.
2. Abortion. White women, especially Northern White women will be fine paying $10/gallon gas, $400 trips to the grocery, & watch the world completely crumble around them as long as they have the “right” to have an abortion. This issue is the Totalitarian Karen’s number 1 issue. This is how a walking retard ogre got elected. He was pro-abortion & Oz wasn’t. This is where we are as a country now.

I e thought about this a fair amount. Serious question- if the Republican Party ran a very bad candidate- would you still vote for that person over the democrat?

Would rather have the quakers back instead of the morons who did vote for him (and his commie wife)

Even it is the same quakers who were reluctant/opposed to the declaration of independence. Still better than this electorate.

Really?

“The Phildadelphia Inquirer reported today that, in 59 precincts in inner-city Philadelphia, the GOP nominee received not a single vote.”

This was from 2020 FYI. Not just on one district… 59 of them. Not even one person made an accidental vote.

Let me break it down for you.

Aoc is young and mentally competent. As a republican, would you vote for a stroked out old person who would vote republican, or would you vote for a mentally competent person who can talk but vote in a way you don't want someone to vote?

Just about everyone here would vote for the republican. Because voting for the Democrat is more dangerous in our opinion.

So we can all complain, just realize we would do the same thing.
