  1. You took away reproductive rights

  2. The state GOP has blocked literally everything that would help people at the state government level, today we have a low minimum wage than WV

  3. Your candidates were just bad, Mastriano never tried to convince anyone and Oz was a NJ tv carbetbagger, by contrast Shapiro was broadly appealing and Fetterman overcame his stroke with a very impressive strategy(and he was well-liked in PA before the election)

If they genuinely need some fancy beltway consulting firm to tell them the obvious then they have completely lost

They don't; it just makes for an awfully convenient and legal way to funnel money from party coffers, collected from the average Joe Bumfuck Potter County racist, to their friends, business associates, and big-money donors.

And those folks will see nothing wrong with it and keep on donating.

$7.25 minimum wage is a goddamn embarrassment in the times. No increase since 2009, really? I’ve told my teenage kids if they get offers to start at minimum wage,they can just work for me around the house. No way I want them out there in an economy like that working for peanuts.

Especially these first two. Don’t think you can just re-message the same garbage policies and obstructionism with a nicer candidate and win. Your beliefs are fundamentally out of step with 21st century Pennsylvanians.

He also comes off as central pa, with his reluctance to dress up. Hoodies and shorts is extremely common dress. His defending his wife against insults against her feels good ole boy, which is central pa

He campaigned in every county in the state, knowing that he wouldn’t have more votes than his opponent in the red counties, but if he picked up enough dem votes there, then with those combined with the blue city votes, he could win. Which is exactly what happened. Because he put in the actual work to talk to (and listen to) Pennsylvanians all across the state.
