Eh, I can't imagine giving the slightest of shits if someone/a politician has a MBA or not.

It didn't even help getting liberal idiots to vote for her because they always had an excuse that she wasn't traditionally educated or experienced enough.

The libs are going to attack Fetterman with this, and I can't really blame them because his actions here seem really hosed up and/or dumb.

I feel like my nickname for Fetterman's primary opponent should be Fresh Prince of Pete-Air but I'm open to workshopping it. He's really lib.

Val Arkoosh is the perfect democrat in the sense that she's an empty vessel for democratic platitudes that's never taken a non DNC approved stance on anything
Someone else? who? one of the other empty suit democrats that roam the Philly or Pittsburgh suburbs?

luckily though this is a very winnable race for the dems cause the declared republican candidates so far are perennial losers and/or nobodys

Kenyatta was a very vocal Biden primary supporter.

I'm not enthused with his answers on Israel or the GND, but the alternative is almost certainly :justpost:. It's pretty clear in 2022 we can't do much better anymore, and the only hopeful stuff is what Chris Smalls and his associates have done, as well as owning libs like Lamb and Kenyatta.

This article is incredible, the main takeway seems to be that Lamb didn't listen to his consultants enough???

As early as 2020, Democrats in Pennsylvania were billing the expected U.S. Senate primary between Conor Lamb and John Fetterman as an epic clash between two titans: the clean-cut moderate “beauty” against the populist goateed “beast.”

I do feel strongly enough about healthcare, than I think anyone willing to support single payer or some kind of government UHC is a net good. But I'm not even sure if 2022 Fetterman does. He did prior, but he's gotten more lib as this has gone along.

I also feel strongly enough about the environment, that it's also close to a single issue thing for me, and he clearly sucks there lol

"You need to vote for someone who is ideologically opposed to everything you stand for because the other guy slurs his words a little but will be replaced with someone you also agree with if he can't hack it" is all over social media today, makes u think.

Voters are not rational beings, especially wealthy, "intellectual" centrists. People like this often do not vote on ideological grounds. Gut instincts, emotion, and odd four-dimensional chess "strategic" thoughts color how they think about politics, because they're financially comfortable and they have no critical thinking, as well as a dearth of morality.

I don't know if this is going to substantively affect Fetterman, but to say that not a single weirdo is going to change their mind on this is absurd, especially considering the last ten years of empirical and anecdotal data in American politics.

The undecided voter doesn't exist in the general election in 2022. He is a relic of the 1990s. He is a ghost blip on the political radar screen.

They're not undecided, they are just telling themselves are. They are insane, "centrist" libs (and occasionally never-Trump chuds), who are almost always going to land on the most right wing option, while they console themselves as not being all that bad because they voted for Obama in 2008.

incumbent senators are almost universally untouchable in primaries, it's not just a covid thing

it's pretty much entirely 60+ year-old, lifelong party-line voters who show up, plus a tiny handful of freaks like us

I truly don't think that's applicable in Delaware. The scale and the utter lack of effort from the establishment here makes it ideal for this. COVID affected canvassing, and in turn negated probably our best asset, which was actually meeting her in person. In a city like Wilmington, you can become a known quantity pretty quickly (again, due to small size) and that's beneficial here because a substantial chunk of the Democratic voting base is in Wilmington. I know this from experience, I basically was becoming "known" from just a few months of canvassing there constantly in 2018 (also I have dumb hair so I stand out, but she would've too re: attractive).

However, it's not like I'm going to be able to test this theory in a COVID-free environment any time soon. Partially due to COVID never ending, and partially due to there being no realistic ability to primary Carper in 2024, a high turnout year, where people will be extremely defensive about preserving Biden's second term.

edit: also the events of 2020 absolutely broke a ton of people around here, including myself

Whenever it's suggested the President do Good Thing, and someone replies with a lot of words about how Good Thing can't be done, it's interesting that those same words do not apply to when President wants to do Bad Thing (i.e. committing genocide in a region or running concentration camps).

Ah well, nothing to be done I suppose! That's what the inbred rapists who founded this country wanted.
