And I would have sued everyone who wrongly accused me of being a pedophile in those files for defamation.

One can only hope that their one issue voters either swing to the other side or become so disheartened and ashamed by the reality they voted for that they don't even show up.

I also hope that the one issue voters on our side realize that we aren't in a position to "boycott" without risking fascism.

"Something's a bit off" - they say after MAGA finally got shown what people really think of them.

We need to keep the momentum going for the next 12 years.

Pennsylvania finally rejecting tyrants and fascists again. All judges will be retained with over 65% voting YES.

Philly is overwhelmingly voting Democrat. The incumbent DA is beating the Republican turncoat challenger for a second time by more than the first. The first time was in the primary.

In the Philadelphia DA race, incumbent Larry Krasner (D) defeated Democrat turncoat Patrick Dugan (R). With votes counted, Krasner has received 74,723 votes (80.8%), while Dugan received 17,796 votes (19.2%).
Krasner had previously won the Democratic primary on May 20, 2025, with 64.36% of the vote.

I hear you ... I was Hispanic in an almost 100% white High School despite being almost exclusively of European descent. I understand a few things better now than I did then but those experiences taught me a lot over time.

Make elections be a week long event with a Saturday evening deadline so that everyone gets a fair and equal chance to vote. Protection by numbers, MAGA and Republicans are less than 40% of the voting population.

And to think that in 2020 he stood in full opposition to MAGA and Trump. How deep we have fallen into this surreal moment in time. I hope New Yorkers don't disappoint.

All routes should be extended and free. Nevermind in-person voting should be at least a week long event with a weekend deadline to ensure everyone gets a fair and equal chance to vote.

I'm positive that I voted for Lamb in the primary against Fetterman.

I read that a few representatives are looking to run such as Connor Lamb and Brendan Boyle.

IDK if the NYT wants that kind of heat. They seem pretty chill about the whole thing that's unfolding.

Braddock's crime rate is above the US average and higher than Philadelphia's. He should offer his borough as the testing ground for how that would work in PA.

I don't regret my vote ... the alternative was the witch doctor Oz and that was objectively worse.

Shamelessly promoting it as the Democrat Shutdown when they control every single branch of government.

Somewhat unrelated, there's an interesting story about a town in Brazil called "Americana" where a bunch of Confederates went to because slavery was still legal in the country until 1888.

You know who else Argentina received? Jews turned away by the US during the holocaust. Also Basques and Catalans persecuted by the Franco Regime in Spain.

And the US, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay ... probably more went to the US than anywhere else.

TBH, our IQ probably won't be affected being that Argentina always goes with populism no matter what. It's either straight ring wing populism with Milei and Macri or under cover right wing populism with Peronists and Kirchnerists. The real left barely has any representation.
