There are still like a dozen barletta signs attached to utility poles near me (Which they're not allowed to use). High enough that you'd need a ladder to get them down.

Not a bad idea in theory but then I think you’d see candidates and staff collecting their opponents’ signs and dumping/posting them so they would get fined.

Good thing there's a private criminal complaint system in PA, so the police can go fuck themselves if they decide they don't want to investigate.
And sure, the commonwealth attorney can dismiss the filing, but there's a little subsection the have to fill out in doing so, so it has to go on the docket that they were given evidentiary proof that a crime was committed on private property and they decided not to pursue an investigation, which I'm sure would be great fodder for their opponents come the next election cycle.
But hey, I guess I'm the fool for actually knowing the legal system in our state. :)

In most cases? Probably not. But then I return back to 'looks bad for a commonwealth attorney's election bid'. That form has to go on file and has to have a docket number, so it's not going to magically disappear into a shredder. And if a mirth of dropped prosecutions into trespassing suddenly gets handed to the incumbent attorney's opponent, that's great fodder for saying the incumbent doesn't mind complete strangers stalking around the houses of the citizens of the Commonwealth and committing crimes. That attack ad is practically writing itself.

I'll be the first to say that Democrats, especially the politicians thereof, don't have all the answers, aren't right about everything, etc.
But you don't see them doing this shit, or if you do it's an outlier. You don't see them resorting to the pervasive incivility, rule-breaking, law-breaking, lying & cheating at the direct campaign level. And it's entirely ubiquitous at all levels of Republican politics.
That alone ought to tell you who to vote for, at least until we can break the 2-party system via Ranked Choice voting, hopefully someday. In the meantime, you still might find yourself yelling angrily at your TV at some boneheaded policy or new law. But at least you have some reasonable hope of either changing their mind or at least voting them out. Republicans clearly have absolutely no interest in anything but plutocracy and fearmongering, and will stoop to any level of malfeasance to get there.

You can't have a 3rd or 4th option without changing the voting system, which isn't going to happen via the GOP or old power Dems. Grassroots organizing within the Dem party is the only way to get this done right now.
TMax01 t1_iskl294 wrote
I'm not trying to be fatalist or defeatist, but honestly, all you can do with that is change which parties the top 2 contenders are in, you can't prevent there being a top 2 contenders, or it being in every individuals (whether candidate or voter) self-interest to align themselves with one of those two. Even the most diverse party systems in other countries always come down the faction in power against the opposition faction.
There are only two ways of changing this, and neither of them is ranked voting, instant runoffs, open primaries, or any other alternate electoral mechanics. The first way is to change reality so that laws do not either exist or not exist, and bills do not either pass or fail, requiring legislators to vote either yea or nay. That is not possible physically, but philosophically we can still consider it as if it weren't a necessary, logical, and metaphysical certainty.
The second way is to change our understanding of reality, without needing to change the electoral process at all. The truth is that it doesn't matter how government representatives are selected, some of the people being governed are going to have wanted a different representative. It is inherent in the duties of a government official to serve everyone, including people who voted against them (or didn't vote at all). If an official got 12% of the vote (while running against a dozen others who each got less) or 88% of the vote, it shouldn't matter, and the responsibility of a citizen in a democracy is to consider the official legitimate regardless. This is difficult to do, I realize, given that we must judge the validity of a government (particularly a democratic republic) by the results as much as the system itself. Most people want everything to be simple, and it isn't surprising that many don't believe that an office holder who only got a plurality rather than the majority of the votes deserves to be in office. And so it isn't surprising that office holders (regardless of party, but more often authoritarians) consider their selection as a mandate to serve their Party's unified goals rather than their constituent's diverse interests. Logic makes the first easy and the second impossible, so why would anyone bother not doing the first or even attempting the second?
Even an official who got 88% of the vote must be fair, and adequately represent (not faithfully parrot, but decently serve) the other 12%, and anyone who abstained or was disenfranchised. We rightfully have no tolerance (though we are not everyone in this case) for using government power once secured to punish those who didn't help secure it or pledge to help maintain it. But logic makes us animals or robots: to be fully human, we must accept the need to attempt potentially impossible tasks, and that includes self-government, which is the real purpose of both republics and democracies, either separately or in combination.
We can either abandon that pretense of "the problem is the 2 party system", which is a strawman, and recognize that a plurality is just as legitimate as a majority, so we no longer demand (by our expectations, whether or not we demand it in our actions or words) that we maintain a two party system so that whoever gets more votes also gets a majority of votes; or we can insist it is a fact rather than a pretense, and say that unless an unlimited number of candidates are on the ballot and one of them gets a majority, no election occurred, and get rid of parties all together. I know which one I think is more achievable and productive; how about you?

With absolutely no examples of the opposite, not even edge cases, it's entirely rational to at least say they're rarer.

I'm sorry, was anyone in this conversation under the impression that there are bands of ideologues all over the country trawling every backwoods road for political signs they don't like, like some kind of overly complex google street view operation?
This headline is about 100 signs. Not millions. The cases I saw were one-off events and the cases everyone is talking about in this thread are one-off events. If 100 people in PA got mugged in broad daylight, would you expect to have personally witnessed one?
I've got a very small spattering of Dem signs around where I live and they're fine too.
On the other hand I went on vacation to Holden Beach NC this year and saw a big trump sign that was all smashed up and vandalized. So there's that, if all you accept is personal anecdotes and headlines you agree with, that is.

Also, it's great for people to be able to discuss politics, but there's a time and a place. Like, generally it's custom to avoid politics at the dinner table. Do you really need to be that guy who's making their neighborhood a political forum? Best case scenario: all of your neighbors happen to have the exact same views as you and none of them think better or worse of you for it.

Hey, how about you look it up for yourself. It was all over the news not even 2 years ago.

So humans figured out how to properlly do this whole logic and reasonable debate thing a few thousand years ago. Since then it's been understood that the person making the claim is responsible for providing the proof.
Otherwise you end up with a bunch of people spewing nonsense and then demanding other people go through the effort of disproving them. It's lazy argumentation. Be responsible for your own points.
They didn't teach you this in 10th grade English comp?

I was waiting for someone to blame democrats. I expected a quip about Hunter Bidens laptop, you failed me. So disappointing.

SeaPoem717's entire post history in this sub is trying to shoehorn the incident with Fetterman and the jogger into every single post.
They need to get a life, or at the very least, new material.

Nope. You can count on this bot brigading the sub until the Dems win in November. Every election cycle these clowns spam every post. Mods never ban them for some reason, even though it's clearly a spammer and a troll.

The left is pretty well known for their hoax hate at this point.
But I could easily see some redneck doing this.

It’s hilarious that anyone would think this.

The man he accosted:
“Mr. Fetterman and his family have done far more good than that one bad act or action and, as such, should not be defined by it.”
"He signed that letter: “Gooo Fetterman.” "
Also the same guy--
"Miyares is serving an 18- to 36-month sentence after being convicted in 2019 of kidnapping, terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, and other crimes against a woman who hired him for a ride to work."
Now which way are you gonna spin this?
Not sure why you're so passionate about this one man and his experience from 10 yrs ago to the point that it's become your entire personality and main activity on Reddit..(right behind "guns r kool")
Why do you have so much compassion for this one maniac, who wasn't even holding anything against Fetterman? Why do you always specify it was a black man as if you actually give two fucks about that?

Please report bot accounts. This sub is being attacked by Russian bots and spammers. Just like every election cycle 🙄

What's wrong with the post? I didn't bother looking at the poster's history, do they spam the same comment in every single thread?
ThunderySleep t1_iskse4m wrote
Prior to their discussion with me, they almost exclusively post articles from a low quality site built with a WYSIWYG editor that doesn't even make it into the top few pages of google's search results for "local news bucks county pa", despite being dressed up and named as though it's some established local news source. From what I peaked around at, it's 98% hyper partisan political articles, all of which load incredibly slowly, often with broken images, and the first random article I clicked on turned out to be republished content from elsewhere.
Essentially it's a poorly built partisan junk site, which didn't exist until this election cycle, masquerading as an established regular local news site.
