Happy with the result, but it’s a bit disappointing seeing how far my county has fallen. It’s hard to imagine it once voted in Obama, but now nearly twice as many voted for Mastriano over Shapiro

Yeah, its a bit of a bummer that PA in general is a purple state.

The main Democratic strategy over the past few years has been to get massive voter turnout in the big cities and to largely ignore rural areas. Fetterman tried to undo this to some degree by visiting every single country statewide, but once a trend is solidified, its hard to unsolidify it.

I'm in the little sliver of far, far western Monroe bordered by Carbon on two sides and can confirm. Monroe as a whole voted blue but my corner of it is every bit as red as any place in Carbon.

I wish this election would have got a lot differently.

Why do you hate democracy

The US is a republic and we need to work to keep it a republic. I am sad to watch my country of citizenship, and my home state willingly sicken itself from the inside out with the people living in a city stacked on top of each other like rats in a lab dictating the laws for the rest of the state.

Yeah me too but the MAGA sickness that is poisoning our politics is starting to run its course based on the election results.

Just storm Harrisburg, try to kill the elected officials, and install the ones you wanted to win because you love democracy.

Just because I voted republican doesn't mean I support what happened on 1/6. I wish more responsible Democrats would own firearms.

Plenty of folks on the left do own firearms. It just isn't their whole personality.

Spoiler: It does, in fact, mean you support the Jan. 6 attack.

Well Oz and Mastriano would hold no one accountable and if Trump/Desantis lose would be part of the government who try to put them in power even though they lost an election. (Just like all the House republicans before, after, and on Jan 6.

A lot of dems own firearms

We just don't really talk about it because 1) it's not our entire personality and 2)we'd rather the crazy assholes not know we are armed

That's fair, but most of us disagree with you which is how democracy is supposed to work.

Are you referring to Jan 6th? I don't support what happened then, but I am very aware of how important it is for citizens to be able to stand up to the people that govern them. Whether that's for the right or wrong reasons.

"Stand up to" and "attack" are pretty different things.

Yes it is important that our citizens be able to be duped by election lies and misinformation from the former president so that they are whipped into such a frenzy that they will resort to violence for him to achieve his goals.

As a fairly conservative Republican who never voted for a Democrat in my life, I voted for both Fetterman and Shapiro.
