That’s why after Tuesday, Conor Lamb and (especially Philadelphia’s own) Malcolm Kenyatta must must MUST immediately get behind Fetterman and start campaigning for him. I believe that they will. They both know that we must take back this senate seat.

That has already been stated. The only think left out was, “God only give you what you can handle”. :roll_eyes:

Or, in other words, another Saturday in Florida. Born and raised there, left as soon as possible, and haven’t missed it. Other than parents, I doubt I’d ever return. But the beaches were pretty.

The state still has an 1849 statute on the books that would make it a felony for health care providers to perform an abortion in all cases except to protect the life of the mother.

That law is currently in effect in Afghanistan.

“Philadelphia Dems are warning they will not show up in November if Fetterman is nominated…”

Which ones? How many? What are your sources?

Ron Anon: “I just don’t think this is going to be the big political issue everybody thinks it is…"

You see, this is what I think is outrageously funny. The GOP has been fighting legal, safe abortions for nearly 50 years, and now all of them are saying that the Alito draft doesn’t portend anything bad happening to a woman’s access to abortion, which is absolute bullshit.

If Johnson and the rest of the GOP/MAGA scum truly believed that the abortion issue was just a fart in the electoral breeze, they would be doing victory dances on TV and on social media screaming to the stars about how they achieved their decades-long dream and about their political brilliance. Instead, they’re making up lame excuses, and the excuses are aimed at voters outside of their bubble, because the morons in that bubble already believe their lies about abortion anyway. The internal polling on the issue of abortion rights must be god-awful for them, because otherwise they would be bragging 24-hours-a-day with shit-eating grins on their faces.

They’ll show up if the Philadelphia Tribune (the nation’s oldest continuously published newspaper reflecting the African-American experience) has anything to say about it.

In the Democratic primary, we endorse Fetterman for U.S. Senate.

On the issues, the Democratic candidates aren’t that far apart, but Fetterman has demonstrated through his campaign that he is the candidate with the broadest appeal across the state and is the best candidate to represent the Democratic Party’s agenda.

His background as the former mayor of Braddock, a small industrial town in Allegheny County with a large percentage of African Americans in Allegheny County, helps bring a diversity of experience that allows him to connect with residents from small rural communities to Philadelphia, the state’s largest city.

His primary and general election in 2018 as lieutenant governor demonstrates his ability to attract votes statewide, as opposed to a more restricted district. Lamb and Kenyatta have not demonstrated that ability to appeal and win votes statewide. Fetterman can reach all factions of the Democratic Party, whereas Lamb’s appeal is to moderates and Kenyatta is toward the more progressive wing.

It is important to point out that our endorsement of Fetterman is not without concerns.

Fetterman exercised poor judgment in a January 2013 incident, when he pointed a shotgun at an unarmed Black jogger, Christopher Miyares, who he mistook for a suspect in a shooting. Fetterman said he made a “split second” decision in the interest of public safety. Miyares said Fetterman should not be defined by the act and hoped he would win the Senate race. Fetterman should simply admit he made a mistake instead of trying to justify his actions.

We are also endorsing Fetterman for his strong advocacy.

During his time in office as lieutenant governor, Fetterman has been a fierce defender of the election process that saw Democrat Joe Biden carry Pennsylvania over Trump in the 2020 presidential race.

Last week, Fetterman joined other Democrats in urging Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify the protections in Roe v. Wade into law.

In addition to expressing support for the codification of Roe V. Wade into federal law, Fetterman has been strong supporter of criminal justice reform; environmental issues, although he supports permitting fracking; raising the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour; and expanding affordable health care.

While Lamb and Kenyatta have run good campaigns, we believe that Fetterman is the best Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Even though I favor Malcolm Kenyatta and his policies and political skills, I agree (after thinking about it for quite awhile) that Fetterman has the broadest appeal across the entire state.
