Like again he's better than Pat Toomey and if push comes to shove I'll vote for him over the Rep ghoul that runs for it, but just don't want folks to think he's a leftier Bernie (what was funny in that endorsement hearing is he claimed he was calling himself a democratic socialist before Bernie)

yeah, it's loving PA

he owns on social media and has been a mainstay on msnbc for the last two months, legal weed, and actually care about the people he governs as far as I can tell

terrible situation, hopefully we can do better

looking at the layout of the pa dem party

probably

i imagine his competitors will be ghouls like nutter or maybe even kenny. i imagine shapiro and wolf have already let him know they ain�t running and shapiro will go for gov

who knows tho. maybe well get some good smaller local pols

Shapiro for governor is a lock, dudes been eyeing the governors mansion since he was my state rep, but i think some of centrist house members might make a go at the senate. I think Nutter looked into it in 2016 and passed, i dont imagine he would try now.

Brendan Boyle? Madeline Dean? Connor Lamb?

Brian Fitzpatrick on the GOP side.

Comedy Option: Joe Sestak

I think the best chance dems have to not get blown out is Shapiro for gov, fetterman for senate ticket as it's something for everyone and will bump up turnout

kenney is a horrifically bad mayor and i think he'd potentially lose a senate/gov election

dude has done fuckall for the city, let police attack blm protestors, took too long to cave in getting the rizzo statue down (and afaik they were just gonna relocate it), and to my awareness is basically just owned by the mob unions

never mind how horrific the school system is and it feels like they've barely tried to do a loving thing at all

in short, gently caress him

it isn't exclusive to him either. most of the philly politicians are dogshit and despite being a cool place the city is completely hosed if and when covid and the dying economy kill off most of the businesses for good

Kenney is beyond scared of any actual conflict and is just all around a giant wuss. No one actually likes him and he somehow thought that hiring a new police chief who actively colluded with white supremacists was a good idea

As someone who was at his Pittsburgh DSA endorsement hearing for Lt Governor in 2017 you will find the opposite to be the case (the hearing was recorded, but it's one of those OPSEC things that I would have to work on editing it to protect comrades identities) Anyway it was pretty much a shitshow because Fetterman for all his good social media presence is a very style over substance politician.

The big things are that as Mayor of Braddock he tried to gentrify it and profit from it by using his wife's non-profit as a way to attract businesses to set up shop in buildings the non-profit owned with promises that these businesses would offer training to like teens living in Braddock.

Said he was opposed to fracking, but did nothing as US Steel tried putting a fracking pad on the site of the Edgar Thompson Steel Building which was like 2 miles away from Braddock (thankfully the company they hired was so incompetent that in 2020 the plans finally fell through)

At our endorsement meeting he called abortion rights an �in the weeds� issue (When asked why he support/doesn't disavow anti-choice candidates)

In his campaign for lt. gov he used a petition to shutdown berks as a petition/listbuilding tactic, and now he is lt. gov and has neither gotten wolf to do this nor stirred poo poo about it.

There's this:
https://archive.triblive.com/news/braddock-mayor-says-hes-justified-in-pulling-shotgun-after-hearing-noise-like-gunshots/

He wrote an op-ed in the Post Gazette against trying to tax UPMC (the hellish "non-profit" Healthcare that owns 14% of Alleghany County) when they were closing Braddock Hospital. Supported Bernie in 2016 to help build his clout but wouldn't endorse him in 2020. Endorsed Paul Costa over Summer Lee (who we endorsed at that endorsement meeting).

Also he came from a well off family and basically built this working class look to build a persona that would get him elected and media; obviously it worked.

Finally, when we didn't endorse him (he tanked really bad at the hearing and did poo poo like when the other person asking for Lt Gov spoke to us he decided to stand directly behind her the entire time and this woman was like 5 5) shortly afterwards our free food pantry door was smashed and we were told we couldn't host it at this free store in Braddock we had it at; well that free store was owned by Fetterman's wife's Non-profit. Then we found that nowhere in Braddock would host it (It's now near our HQ where the only vandalism that happened to it was from dipshit Maoists)

Anyway this is a really long post saying if you think Fetterman is the PA Bernie there are plenty of comrades in Pittsburgh that will point out a lot of bad flags with him. His only real selling point is he is better than Toomey (which isn't hard) and he wants legal weed. I think he's a jagoff, but he will probably win because people don't give a poo poo because he's good with social media in saying the right things that appeal to progressives and a lot of the bad stuff is fairly local to Pittsburgh.

this disappointment serves me right for getting even slightly invested in electoralism

It�s disappointing for me too but despite all that I can�t think of a single democrat in Pennsylvania who would be more left then him and have any name recognition statewide unless like Larry krasner wanted to run

Peduto ain't much better; guy decided after his appearence on Undercover Boss to actually grow a giant beard and from a friend of my he bumped into Bill at Cappy's (this bar in Oakland by Pitt) where he was drunk and turns out he has two phones with one dedicated to scrolling twitter.

He got in arguments with the local Anarchist collective that was shitposting demanding that he show his feet which culiminated in a 1 AM tweet from him that if they showed 10 pics proving they voted he would show his 10 toes. (he didn't because he is a coward!)

He also really really loving sucks pretending to be this progressive mayor of the "most livable city in America" where he does nothing about UPMC, tried selling out the city to get that Amazon HQ, and oh this just happened https://twitter.com/RyanDeto/status/1347695835514077184 (granted this maybe more the DA ratfucking him, but gently caress Peduto since he treated the BLM protestors like garbage regardless)

Local municipal elections seem way more meaningful in getting results and also way easier to hold people accountable when they gently caress up; the worst part of electoralism is just how much of a burnout viscous cycle it can feel like.

Yeah pretty much all he has actually done is cut all funding for victim services. I was assaulted and have a case going through the court that legit would have been thrown out if I didn't regularly check the court dockets for when my next hearing is. I once received. supeona that was literally sent a week after my hearing and he stopped giving victims parking or bus passes

I will preface this by saying I have known him for several years but delcos new DA is pretty much the template for what a DA should be. He has set up a child abuse task force that focuses on getting services in place and involving more agencies in addressing stuff and has also really worked to end cash bail, not prosecute low level drug offenses but is also really working to involve victims in cases and has gotten heat for working out deals that seemed soft but he had spent time with the victim and offender to work on actual restorative justice principals. He has also held police accountable

Krasner legit hasnt done anything and whenever social justice activists call he hides in his office
