Beat in my trunk bought it just for the freaks
Catch me in the hood posted at the sto
Pistol in my lap on the phone countin dough

Time to flip the work make the block bump
Boys from the hood call me black Donald Trump
Dope boy magic seven days a week

You are welcome King.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

ik it’s not the sexiest thing ever, but if dems want to keep PA competitive, they have to continue to cut into york, lancaster, cumberland, dauphin, lebanon. SEPA is not enough. There a looooooot of people in those five counties combined that I listed, and they are growing, and gop has room to fall further there.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Gonna go out on a limb and say a lot of the Cartwright support comes from people who haven't heard the man speak. Great rep, but not exactly bursting with charisma. Fetterman and Kenyatta, particularly Fetterman, would be better options.

Surely - not Kenyatta. Black, gay, from Philadelphia..... Almost any Republican candidate will crush him, and you may get some much worse Senator, then Toomey,

Yeah I’ll say it too, I personally do not object to it ofc, but I objectively think a black gay man with dreadlocks and an african name from Philly wouldnt do too well.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I know, I know, the comparisons are played out. But Georgia just elected a black pastor and a Jewish millennial and we're still doing the whole "Kenyatta is unelectable because he's gay and black" spiel. Give me a break.

One moment: Georgia isn't Pennsylvania

Wow really, I'd never considered that before.

Look, does anyone here have an actual reason why Fetterman is supposedly so much more electable than Kenyatta other than the fact he happens to fit our stereotype of what a white working class voter happens to look like? I can understand this argument with someone like Cartwright, who has actually had electoral overperformance in federal races before, but Fetterman's only won races in a heavily Democratic city and a crowded primary for lieutenant governor where he was the only Western Pennsylvania candidate running.

If you view swing voters in Pennsylvania as all racists and homophobes who won't vote for Kenyatta because he's a scary gay black man, then just be up front and say that.Both Kenyatta and Fetterman seem absolutely fine on policy and I'd be happy to run with either, but y'all need to actually base your arguments against Kenyatta on something more tangible than an imaginary aura of electability that Fetterman has.

unfortunately that is my belief

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I would love Dean to run (she's my currrent congresswoman) but I still find it unlikely to happen

Dean is a clown. she did worse than hillary in 2020 lmao

Given your post history I think part of that is projection but, hey at least you're honest I guess.

I’d vote for Kenyatta in a GE but k whatever you say

It's not like a little-known black man with a Kenyan father and an African name from Chicago won PA by double digits or anything.

Kenyatta is the new Obama lol, ok got it haha.

 I really don't have to point out the differences do I? Look, as I said, I believe this of the swing voters in PA: swing voters in Pennsylvania as all racists and homophobes who won't vote for Kenyatta because he's a scary gay black man.  

Not personally my view ofc, but just objectively, Kenyatta is only 30, has dreadlock cornrow type ethnic hair, is gay, has a voice that sounds a bit ethnic, etc.

Look, I personally don't judge him for any of that, I view him as equal to anyone else. But unfortunately I don't think everyone is like me, and I think there are enough ignorant and bad people out there to cost him for those things.

There is a clear difference between Warnock/Obama style candidates, and Kenyatta, and if you can't see that, I can't help you.

Georgia-special: Raphael Warnock

The situation really is not even much around him being black, I chose Warnock way long ago even when Lieberman and stuff looked like they had a chance, because I thought Warnock was better. If you can find a Warnock style candidate who is like a moderate image preacher from Philly, I'd be all in too.

Not sure how that's a hit on her when Hillary's performance was still great in the district?

This is sad and low energy, try better plz. This is one of the few areas of PA where dems are really improving in, and she needs to be able to follow the trend. She undershot Biden by like 5pts too, wholly unimpressive.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

tbh id love it if pam snyder was the nominee

good news for dems. this splits some more vote away from the kenyatta who would be a mess if nominated.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I am starting to worry about our Senate races, since Covid is going up, it's a midterm, they aren't voting Biden out, they are voting D's out, if Biden doesn't get this Covid resolved next yr, our House Majority will be wiped out

Hassan and WARNOCK maybe voted out

I don't like unconfident OC
