PA-SN 2022 megathread: Shrek vs. The Wizard of Oz

The real takeaway is James Carville's PAC using straight-up Republican talking points against Fetterman. There's a difference between "Medicare for All is too expensive" and "Medicare for All is a government takeover of healthcare". Not to mention the blatant red-baiting. Something that Lambchin himself has done and his campaign gleefully parrots.

If you took away the name of the PAC I'd have thought it'd come from the McCormick campaign.

Truly Orwellian stuff from the Democrat establishment, folks. Submission is unity. Lies are truth. We can't afford more Sinemas, but we need Sinemas to win. Corporate subservience is progress. Occasionally, the mask slips, and candidates like Conor Lamb and Kyrsten Sinema show their true colors. When these people tell you who they are behind closed doors, believe them and reject them at every turn.

For the love of god, there is no reason to compare Lamb and Sinema. Stop.

>Conor Lamb makes hyperbolic comparisons and red-baits John Fetterman to hurt his image
>wbrocks: crickets
>some internet idiot who hasn't lived in PA for 5 years compares Lamb to Manchin and Sinema to hurt his image
>wbrocks: Stop this hyperbole right now! How dare you! This isn't productive if he wins the general!

You see, the difference between Lamb's comparison and mine is that the socialist attacks come from a candidate he supports.

Looks Like Fetterman's campaign has woke up

Seems like this was his strategy all along fundraise through the early and middle parts of primary and then kick field and ads into overdrive in the last stretch before the primary. As someone with a big lead in the polls, this was probably smart well see how it plays out. That's pretty much what incumbents here in Cali do let their challengers waste all their money in the early and middle phase so when the most important part of the primary comes they can focus on turning out their base and doing a media blitz. I think this shows Fetterman is a much more skilled politician than people give him credit for.

James Carville is the absolute worst this party has to offer: as divisive and spiteful as any SJW ultra-feminist culture warrior, but also thoroughly corporate and corrupt. When is the last time any of his predictions came true?

Conor Lamb is gonna regret getting in bed with the Clinton people. At best, he will just win a scorched earth primary, lose the general, and go down in history as a tool.

All by design, friend. The corporate Democrats would rather lose with their gravy train flowing than win and have someone change the system.

PA Dems were handed a golden candidate on a silver platter, but have instead decided that it should be a two-way race between a man who refuses to wear pants and is possibly scared of Black people, and the man who is the human equivalent of corn flakes.

Honestly, the best candidates for Democrats chose not to run (Madeline Dean, Susan Wild, Mary Gay Scanlon).

I think Dean in particular would've been toxic for central Pennsylvania. She is like Rs textbook definition of a liberal elitist.

So, not really all that different from Fetterman, then.

Fetterman at least tries and has a decent amount of charisma. Dean's charisma just isn't there IMO.

I would have gone with unseasoned chicken, but that also works

That's in reference to Fetterman's political views (which is basically if Bernie Sanders's economic policies met Joe Manchin's environmental policies), rather than his personality.

Of the candidates in the race, I'd prefer Kenyatta, but I'm not a Pennsylvania resident.

[wbrocks67]

I'm surprised Fetterman beat Lamb (slightly) in the Montco vote. Montco is very blue now but still very much of a Hillary/Biden "pragmatic" blue. Then again, Fetterman may not be seen as "super liberal" by a lot of people right now.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Fetterman appeals to working class like Casey Jr does that's why Lamb is losing Fetterman won Pittsburgh as LT Gov onna crowded primary

I don't know how many "liberal elites" you know, but a vast majority of them do not support Bernie Sanders' economic policies OR Joe Manchin's environmental policies (of which Fetterman is to the left of on most issues other than fracking)

[wbrocks67]

I don't buy the Dean is a "elitist" comment. She's my congresswoman and she's super local and I even know a few Rs who actually voted for her bc she's actually really involved in the local politics here. She's a very liberal woman, but I don't that automatically means she couldn't win or is naturally "elitist"

The dude's communication style is funny for sure.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

One thing to note in all these R trending polls it's not 2010 ANYMORE we have plenty of voters to vote for D's in 2010)14 we had a shortage of voters that's why it was 33)23 M and since 2016 it's been 65/62 M, Rs aren't assured of anything yet

I can hear Conor Lamb pearl clutching from here.

[KaiserDave]

Pleasantly surprised to see Fetterman roaring into high gear. I knew I was right about him.

That said, it's a bit silly to see everyone acting like their preferred candidate, be it Lamb, or Kenyatta (who would win the GE easily if we just stopped ignoring him!) or Fetterman is somehow going to win.

No matter who wins, they are in all likelihood going to lose by 1-4 points. I am hoping Fetterman because on the off chance he wins we get the best possible Senator, but I know the reality here. When Lamb/Fetterman lose it will be annoying to hear people saying that if only we had nominated Kenyatta/Lamb/Fetterman we would have won.

[SnowLabrador]

It'll be more like 4-7 points. This is a red wave year.
