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

[Suburbia]

Any particular reason we’re rehashing Fetterman’s stroke months after the election? Did something else happen or is this just nostalgia?

Because he is not healthy.

He should not be on the Democratic ticket in 2024 or 2028 or 2032.

It's sad.

Fetterman's stroke shows that working class people have hard lives and universal health care should be a reality.

Also, working class people should eat better and exercise.

This is also a social justice issue. How do you go to a gym on a $15/hr salary? What kind of food can you afford? What kind of food is accessible to wherever you can afford rent?

It's weird that ppl obsess over his health tho when multiple outlets have been insinuating that Dianne Feinstein has alzheimers since 2017. We just let California get represented for a whole term by a woman who doesn't always know who she is speaking to or what's going on. Prolly nobody cares cuz she's not a threat to our precious capitalism

You can do it. Save your money. Don't buy Hulu or Netflix or all these TV option stuff.

A lot of union men like Fetterman's image work out in the gym, etc.

It's sad. Fetterman has a working class vibe that Democrats need. But they could appoint Scranton's Marty Flynn, who has a lot of swag, good looks and he can appeal to the Casey-Biden-Fetterman white union man wing....without losing the base

However, him shooting a black man in 2014 (like Fetterman profiled a black jogger in 2013) will get a lot of eyebrows from Gov. Shapiro, who does not want to anger Black voters.....who barely turned out in Philly/Pittsburgh....

It seems kind of unsurprising that a recent stroke victim would act out of an abundance of caution here lol. The whole lesson from his initial stroke was to do that, right? Don’t get why everyone was freaking out about this

Republicans are just bitter they lost to him so they're just going to concern troll about his health for the next six years.

What do they want anyway? Him to resign so Shapiro can replace him with another Democrat? I guess that would at least give them another shot at the seat next year.

Fear. The corporate establishment and their lapdogs in the media see him as the successor to Bernie's legacy and want to take him down by any means possible.

Why was Oz considered a weak candidate? He outperformed Mastriano by 10!

That has far more to do with Mastriano than Oz.

Oz never had a chance from primary night onwards because of the following things:

1.Pennsylvania from past election results likes it's Governors to be Liberal and it's Senators to be Conservative (remember Santorum ?).

2.Oz was upper class, while Fetterman was working class.

3.Oz spent his entire campaign making fun of Fetterman being working class.

4.The primaries hit Oz hard for being a muslim, a big no-no for conservatives as primary results showed.

Oz would have made sense for Governor and Mastriano for Senator from a GOP perspective.

I expect the Democrats would still have won both races.

Probably given what happened in all the other swing states, but the margings would have been way closer, and the republicans probably would have carried PA-7 and 8.

LoL no one is gonna beat Casey, Fetterman, Kaine, Brown, Warner, Shaheen, Baldwin and Tester, Brown says he's absolutely gonna win in 24 it's a Prez yr

And D's are targeting Hawley, there is a small number of 5/6 percent of the blk vote I'm 26 Shapiro will easily get reelected and 28 Fetterman too

Collins is gone in 26 and Johnson won't survive a 4th term in 28 Prez yr and we have Greg Landsman to challenge Vance in 28

That's why I made OH solid D due to Brown

Pittsburgh has drifted Democrat while Philadelphia Republican in elections since 2017, so it would be unlikely for Democrats to lose a Pittsburgh seat.

2.Oz was upper class, while Fetterman was working class.

Oz was an out-of-touch weirdo who got rich by selling snake oil on daytime TV and thought he could parachute in and become a Senator for a state that he didn't even live in and had minimal ties to.

That didn't stop others from gaining political office in the past, it was the combination of the things I listed that doomed Oz.
