You can access our natural gas resources without poisoning the communities around them and completely destroying the environment. Though I think there is a lot of potential opportunities for greener technologies the infrastructure isn't there yet. We can build that infrastructure while still utilizing what we currently rely on, i.e. fossil fuels. It's not an either or proposition. We can and should do both.

Everyone has the right to self preservation, and in a world where firearms exist, everyone should be allowed to carry one if they see fit.

No one is going to be able to hand select which voted counts. But we should have clear laws on which voted do and when they are valid. Regardless of which side benefitted from it, all voter fraud is wrong and should be prevented.

I refute your refutation, but I appreciate your honest discussion. The best to you as well.

"The party of white nationalists" you're tilting at windmills there bud.

You don't even know what my opinion is. You make a blanket generalization that I must be a racist because I'm voting for Republicans. Someone thinks differently than you and they are automatically dumb and racist. That's a pretty shitty and bigoted opinion you have there.

I dislike Oz because he has flipped every position he holds from his time on his show to the default republican when he started running for public office. Though someone's thoughts on a topic can change over time, typically it doesn't happen that fast and that completely. I also really dislike the idea of creating an ad stating that someone who had a stroke has "screws loose". I disagree with Fetterman's positions on most issues, but the man suffered a tragic medical event and that shouldn't be made fun of.

I agree with Mastriano on opening up Pa's energy sector to produce more natural gas. We have a lot of energy here that can be extracted and exported and it will help reduce economic pressure on American families. I agree with him on making Pa a constitutional carry state and giving law abiding citizens the right to defend themselves without government bureaucracy getting in the way and slowing down the process. I agree with him on school choice and allowing parents to choose where their kids go to school. I also agree with voter id laws and helping ensure the integrity of our elections.

I assume that you are referring to Jan 6th when you mention him supporting the "Destruction of American Democracy". My general stance on January 6th was that it was very misguided and pretty stupid for the protestors to go into the capital. I agree with questioning all elections in general and the 2020 election in specific. There should always be maximum transparency in our elections and if a non-insignificant portion of the population doesn't trust the results, we should audit the results to address their concerns. We shouldn't just tell them their concerns are baseless and to go be quiet and just accept the results. It does nothing but cause the mistrust to fester. I'm totally fine with people that went to the capital to protest, even if going into the capital itself was stupid.

I don't have to agree with everything a person does to vote for them. A history teacher dressing up as a confederate soldier is misguided, especially given the context of the photoshoot, but is a nothing burger of an issue for me. Playing dress up is not the same as espousing the beliefs of what you are dressing up as. We don't know why he did it. We know the speculation given to us by biased reporters, but that doesn't make it the reality.

Lol tell me you're incapable of independent thought without telling me you're incapable of independent thought.

It would be laughable how often you people throw out an "ist" card without actually engaging in a real discussion if it wasn't dividing the country so much. But it's okay, the person on the magical screen told you that anyone who has a different political position than you is racist, now enjoy your cookie and a warm glass of milk.

Those things all seem good to me. I'll be voting red, except for Oz. Fuck that guy.
