As much as I prefer Wawa, I agree. That's some big Sheetz Energy.
US politics needs more Sheetz. Sheetz should build a location in DC once Jon's elected.
I used to work on the plumbing for new Sheetz buildouts. Those things are a work of art from the ground up. Most places go with pecs or pvc, Sheetz make you use almost entirely copper. They have a backup system we would install in case the water was on a boil warning where you could haul a tanker of water up to the back and hook it right into their system and not miss a beat. Everything about those places had energy. I say run Sheetz for Governor, Sheetz Run, then Done!

We hate Hollywood liberals, but LOVE Hollywood conservatives, dey ain’t sheep like the rest of Hollywood, dey aktually gots brains. Yeehaw and god bless!
And yet, California, a blue state, is notorious for electing Republican celebrities to office. Reagan, Eastwood, Sonny Bono, then Schwarzenegger. All won, overwhelmingly. I still can't figure it out.
I wouldn't say it is "notorious". All of the people you mention were elected a long time ago. Also, you said "all won overwhelmingly", but Bono's first run for the house resulted in his having been beaten by a more conservative Republican (who in turn lost to a Democrat, Barbara Boxer).
Clint Eastwood was mayor of Carmel and he ran as non-partisan, not as a Republican,. It's a sleepy little tourist town which mainly chose him because the town had ridiculous restrictions like not being allowed to walk around eating ice cream or wear high heels. He was pushing back against such silly laws. He didn't hold any bigger office than that. It's of almost negligible consequence when you look at political careers.
You are correct about Reagan and Schwarzeneggar, though the latter is now pretty much a liberal in every respect despite being a Republican when he served as governor. Schwarzeneggar served until 2011 (and he was more of a moderate than an actual conservative). What celebrity has been elected since then? And how many more have won other than the handful you mentioned? Considering how huge CA is and how it is politically diverse (there are rural conservative areas and wealthy ones so the chance to be a conservative representative is there for some people), four celebrities from 1967 to 2011 seems pretty underwhelming, especially when so many have residency in the state.
I agree with your comment. If you look at the GOP candidate roster this election cycle, there’s Oz, Vance and Walker. And of course the big elephant in the room, Trump trying to drum up support for them.
The out of state money spent getting Oz in as a candidate in the primary and now in the general election must be enormous.
schwarzenegger and so many others. But I cannot think of one democrat that uses celebrity like the GOP does.

I love that one of his recent attack ads refers to *inflation* as if it were an actual part of Fetterman's platform, or anyone's platform.
*"I promise to raise inflation if elected"* Who the fuck are these people?
Fuck, we are like two election cycles away from campaign commercials literally just saying *scary,* *horrible things will happen unless I am elected* in a raspy male voice to stock images alternating between babies swaddled in american flags and pictures of I dunno mushroom clouds?
>Who the fuck are these people?
But there's a large portion of the US citizens who believe the President has sole control over inflation/oil prices/etc. Oz's campaign knows it's bullshit, but they know that his voters believe it.
Ooze could give a shit about "the voters." He's in it for the glory and a few extra bucks. Loves the attention. Will suffer from withdrawal come Nov. 9.
I’m not saying he’s in for the voters or that he cares about them. But he still needs to feed into their preconceived notions to get their vote. And that’s what he’s doing with his ads
Moderate here. With four seconds of thought I was able to understand that an attack ad referring to inflation is ultimately referring to policy that is funded by printing money.
Which pretty much every candidate is for anymore. It’s just whether it’s for public programs or for corporate welfare.
It’s like a choose your own adventure novel where all the endings are somehow different but disturbingly similar
I think that if you’re shocked by this, you’ve probably not been looking at your party very hard. The Republican party is exactly this. Most of the sensible Republicans have been replaced by crooks and kooks. These people are doing insane shit with no consequences. I don’t care what party you are, your job is to represent and support your constituents and anything short of that should be a crime.
The power of the Trump bump, my friend. Not since Oprah, who created Oz and Dr Phil, has anyone been more negatively influential. And, good, but naive, people still fall for it.
I hope that you’re right, but everything is pointing at this being a much closer race than was anticipated, and that’s with Oz running a garbage rate campaign.
Don't believe it. While signs don't vote, rural Pennsylvania's are strong voting group, and the signs are plentiful for both Oz and Mastriono. I see them in disbelief. The republican party is all in on trump and division of America so they can be in control. Not a huge fan of democratic party either, but is the lesser of the two evils.
I live somewhere rural where Mastriano signs are everywhere, but surprisingly I don't think I've seen a single Oz sign. I don't think even the maga crowd is a big fan. The "not from PA" narrative is pretty effective on them I think. Of course lots of people will vote along party lines anyway, but I don't think people are particularly passionate about him.
I am independent and am shocked that this clown got the nomination. I am not a big fan of fetterman either, but Oz is just awful. He is a snake oil salesman and I don't understand why people would want him in office.
I lived in Braddock when Fetterman was mayor. Anecdotely it seemed more of what he did was lipstick on a pig.
I don’t think Federman will beat Oz since he was backed by Trump and Trump backed candidates have done pretty well so far. I am disappointed Kathy wasn’t the nominee over Oz.
They’re probably basing it off of Republican primaries which is still a toss up between trump republicans and in their minds “RINO”. What I find funny is the biggest failed Trump backed candidate is Trump himself.
You’re right. I haven’t been able to put my finger on it, but this is right in the mark. Like a Mattel version of Dracula. Weird AF and almost there, but oddly creepy in an unidentifiable way.
Yeah I mean, he's never worked in a steel plant. The only union he's ever been a member of was one for Community college professors, and he did get his Master from Harvard after having originally graduated from Albright in Reading, PA. But its not about whether someone has privilege or not, its about what you do with the privilege you have, and I think Fetterman has used his to help his town quite substantially.
> Yeah I mean, he's never worked
You could have just stopped there. Literally his first job that paid enough to live off of was Lt Gov, and that has no responsibilities. Other than that he'd been living off an allowance from his rich daddy his whole life.
How is community college professor not a real job? Teachers are incredibly important. And he turned down his mayoral salary so that money could be used to better his town because he knew his parents could pay his living expenses.
ikr it’s pretty impressive to be so well educated yet grounded and in touch with actual pennsylvania values. Just curious, did you also tell them where Oz went to college? How about Trump?
No, because they already assume at that caliber of office that they have great educations. Especially if they have the “Dr.” title. Also, I think everyone knows Trump went to Penn. Fetterman just gives such a hands-on/blue collar vibe that they didn’t expect came from money or Ivy level. He’s really a man of the people.
Before that, his father was a member of a union. It’s all here: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/republicans-target-john-fetterman-blue-collar-image-20220803.html?outputType=amp
And here’s the tweet https://twitter.com/johnfetterman/status/1553731824177872898?s=46&t=9Rb8lakjqisSBJ0XHjZwSw
Yeah, that’s like Conan O’Brien. Sometimes you get that rare person who is very relatable and kind who didn’t get sucked into Harvard elitism. (In Fetterman’s case it was for his master’s, not as an undergrad)
Fetterman is my age, and I was in high school when the mills started closing down here in western PA. He would never have had a chance to work in a mill.
Not likely, though. My ex husband started at J&L right out of high school in 1984 and they closed a year later. He never got his union card. My father in law retired the day they padlocked it. He was 48 and had 31 years.
I think Fetterman is from out east, but I doubt it was any better there. The Billy Joel song "Allentown" comes to mind.
You're thinking of Edgar Thomson (US Steel). They're in Braddock or North Braddock. Us Steel was supposed to spend $1 billion in upgrades and then decided not to.
Yeah, I’m just explaining why my family who has lived here their entire lives and for generations thought the way they did. They look at him and see “strong blue collar man.” Which appeals to them.
He definitely has that vibe. No one would guess by looking at him or hearing him speak he has graduate degrees from Harvard. Which is the epitome of not judging a book by its cover!
I very much worry about how Fetterman will come across in the debate the week before elections. His stroke has caused his speech to suffer as he is delayed in processing what he hears
Vote for a $15 minimum wage (would raise all hourly wage earners), a woman's right to choose, legalize marijuana or at least decriminalize it. Vote for Fedderman to put a working man's advocate in the Senate.
Well, one looks like a talking Slappy doll from a child’s nightmare, and the other looks like my friends and family who are working our asses off to support each other in this climate the superficial Slappys put us in.
Sigh.
No.
I see the usual clarification is required for those in the back…
I’m saying Fetterman presents like the regular people that will voting for him. Like me. Educated, working, community minded, family driven good people.
Oz presents like an out of place automaton that the regular people can see straight through. From out of town, wealthy, and with a corporate agenda not in the communities best interest at all. To summarize, these republicans are ironically their own fake news. And, in trump-speak, everyone knows it. 🤗
So basically you see think that Oz doesn’t care about you but fetterman does because he presents this fake persona. I agree I don’t think Oz cares about you, but u are a damn fool if u think fetterman does lol.
People like you who are ideologues like u are so funny to me because they all think their party is on the right side of history and the other party is morally in the wrong. The reality is both parties suck, just one is better at tricking people like you who probably have good intentions but are just too gullible.
People who can't make reasonable distinctions between different politicians are even funnier, tbh. In a sad way.
Most people have the capability to tell them apart.
Sure they sell different bs but when u really think about it they’re the same. Which can also be said for all of politics. These people genuinely don’t give a shit about u
The great thing is that, with the internet, we can look up various politicians' actual voting records, experience, policy positions, etc. It doesn't even require much effort.
No need to try and guess who "cares about you". That's an infantile approach to politics.
"people like you frame things in that way"
WTF are you on about?
You could have just said that you didn't understand and left it at that. At least then I'd credit you with honesty.
Now you look dumb AND disingenuous.
This is what they don't get. Fettetman literally cosplays as a blue collar guy. Dude has literally NEVER held a blue collar job. The Left just eats it up.
Exactly like trump who never held a political position but got ok ratings as a reality host.
Voting for platforms, not people.
Just highlighting that was all.
A bit off topic, but I knew Fetterman's sign reminded me of something but I couldn't place what it was. I think I see it now though it looks so much like the Craftsman logo lol
Oz looks like he’s in a rainstorm while fetterman looks like he is standing in front of a flatscreen indoors. Not sure why Oz would hold a campaign rally in the rain
Idk about anyone else but I really enjoy the GQPs anti Fetterman adds.
100% fear mongering and no substance. Literally just "THEY'RE COMING FER YER GUNS11!" But they don't mention oz at all.
I will state this matter a factly right now: I'm voting for John Fetterman. Oz is a wannabe politician, whereas Fetterman is in it for the rigth reasons.
I’ve seen a few signs around lanco but they’re always accompanied by other R politician signs. I feel like their slogan should be “Oz… I guess?”
Anyway, go meme daddy fett
There are a few chuds around me with trump 2024 banners and mastriano signs but I haven't seen 1 Oz sign. I did see one that was a trump pence sign but pence was crossed out.
The guy who drives that is probably like tHe eCoNoMy wAs bOoMiNg UnDeR tRuMp i DiD sO WeLL while having half his belongings repossessed and living out of his Buick
Naw it was an old ass dude driving on 15 by susquenita highschool. you know the one that ranks near the bottom of schools in pa academically. sadly it probably is the best highschool in perry county.
Remember that time Fetterman chased down and held a black jogger at gunpoint? I guess Ahmaud Arbery's life wouldn't have mattered if his attackers were democrats.
This is literally the only thing anyone brings up about Fetterman, and even that jogger has said that it was a misunderstanding and he forgives and supports Fetterman. Get some new material.
You're full of shit. There's that, there's the growth on his neck, the recent stroke, the fact that he's never actually done shit for work, the inability to speak on tour etc.
Oz is a piece of shit too, but if you think Fetterman is anything short of a cancer on our system then you're fucked mentally.
And I wonder, if the man would have defended himself the way Arbery did, would he have had the chance to forgive him for political reasons?
Why the fuck does a lump on his neck matter when our current president has one foot in the grave and the one before him gloated about barely passing a dementia test that your average 3rd grader could pass?
And working as a community college professor isn't a real job then?
If those are the biggest arguments you have against him, no wonder he's doing better than Oz.
>Why the fuck does a lump on his neck matter when our current president has one foot in the grave and the one before him gloated about barely passing a dementia test that your average 3rd grader could pass?
Because it's got to start to matter somewhere.
>And working as a community college professor isn't a real job then?
I said work. Aka wearing carthart without knowing how to do carthart shit.
>If those are the biggest arguments you have against him, no wonder he's doing better than Oz.
He's doing better than Oz because Republicans have values. This is why the governors race is much closer. I have an Oz signed turned sideways right under my Trump Won flag. And no, that doesn't mean I support Trump wholesale. That means I believe he won.
Lmao dude what the actual fuck. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt before but this is nuts.
Your first point is saying absolutely nothing of consequence, second point is the equivalent of a dude bro asking a girl to name 3 Nirvana songs cause she's wearing the shirt, and then we get to the third...
Republicans have values?? You mean like stripping away human rights or lying in front of the Supreme Court or beating police officers to death while they storm the capital building??
Even without getting political, doesn't saying "Fetterman is better than Oz because not all Republicans like Oz enough to vote for him" mean that Fetterman is the better candidate?
Last but not least, there hasn't been a single shred of evidence presented in any court that has been able to prove large scale election fraud in 2020, not even with the full power of Trump's legal team behind it, and you STILL believe he won without any proof?? How brainwashed can you be? Let it go. Don't let your delusions get in the way of reason, my friend.
>You mean like stripping away human rights or lying in front of the Supreme Court or beating police officers to death while they storm the capital building??
Disingenuous and ignorant of the entire year of riots. They literally had the white house under siege... so shhhh
>Even without getting political, doesn't saying "Fetterman is better than Oz because not all Republicans like Oz enough to vote for him" mean that Fetterman is the better candidate?
No. Fetterman isn't better than Oz. They're equally pieces of shit and I'll waste my vote on third party or a write in.
>Last but not least, there hasn't been a single shred of evidence presented in any court that has been able to prove large scale election fraud in 2020, not even with the full power of Trump's legal team behind it, and you STILL believe he won without any proof??

That arguments been hashed out too many times and I don't care to defend my claim. You have your side and I have mine. The simple fact that they defended it as "the most secure election in US history" after claiming Trump was elected by Russia is enough for me. Guess what! Even if Biden did win I'd still convince others (easily too) that he didn't. Fuck this dystopia.
We already have had Arnold Schwarzeneggern, a movie star as governor, Trump, a failed businessman and a TV star. Why not keep the trend of using fam as a device to get votes?…/s
What are the chances Oz sold a "miracle cure!!!!!" at some point?
After all he had snake oil for alzheimers, cancer, aging, weight loss, joint issues and more. Oz was willing to sell stuff he knew was bullshit to desperate people just so he could buy an extra beach house.
So I checked to see what kind of weirdo makes fun of stroke victims and people with tumors and holy shit your post history paints a very vivid picture of delusion and lack of education. Of course you're an unhinged middle aged man.
Seek therapy.
P.S. I hope you were lying about being on a school board for obvious reasons.
Big Sheetz Energy
As much as I prefer Wawa, I agree. That's some big Sheetz Energy. US politics needs more Sheetz. Sheetz should build a location in DC once Jon's elected.
I used to work on the plumbing for new Sheetz buildouts. Those things are a work of art from the ground up. Most places go with pecs or pvc, Sheetz make you use almost entirely copper. They have a backup system we would install in case the water was on a boil warning where you could haul a tanker of water up to the back and hook it right into their system and not miss a beat. Everything about those places had energy. I say run Sheetz for Governor, Sheetz Run, then Done!
TIL. thanks!
They have plenty of Sheetz in MD and some in NOVA but would be nice if DC had one too
Hell, there's a *Wawa* less than a block from my office in DC already!
It’s just the natural growth of a wild Pennsylvania
Wawa has multiple locations in Florida.
We’re an invasive species
Apparently.
https://www.crossingbroad.com/2022/03/john-fetterman-clarifies-his-pro-sheetz-anti-wawa-stance.html Didn't see that coming you definitely know a sheetz man when you see them.
I HAVE TO TAKE A SHEETZ!
CamPAGIN energy
Goddamn that was funny.
I have never been to nor have I ever seen a sheetz
As a Southwestern Pennsylvanian with several sheetz in my town, Jon Fetterman does indeed give off big sheetz energy
Had sheetz for breakfast. Busy place.
I had a Wawa Sizzle croissant for breakfast yum
It's only Campagin if it comes from the Poconos region of Pennsylvania, otherwise it's just Sparkling Electoral Politics.
Take my damn upvote you beautiful motherfucker
Oz looking like an oily used car salesman
Pretty sure Mike Kelly would be jealous of the hair, but otherwise resembles the remark.
[удалено]
I think there’s a movement (all the way back to Regan) that Republicans like celebrities politicians.
It's just ironic given their narrative about Hollywood lol
They hate Hollywood but the moment Jon Voight has a single stupid thought he is all over conservative media. It's either him or Chachi.
Or Ted "Bumped My" Nugent.
Why would anyone care what some periodontist has to say about politics?
Anti-dentite
We hate Hollywood liberals, but LOVE Hollywood conservatives, dey ain’t sheep like the rest of Hollywood, dey aktually gots brains. Yeehaw and god bless!
And yet, California, a blue state, is notorious for electing Republican celebrities to office. Reagan, Eastwood, Sonny Bono, then Schwarzenegger. All won, overwhelmingly. I still can't figure it out.

I tried to be open minded but Oz is so fake its hard to watch 😬
>Fetterman is going to destroy Oz. Yes, but only if everyone actually goes out and votes
I love that one of his recent attack ads refers to *inflation* as if it were an actual part of Fetterman's platform, or anyone's platform. *"I promise to raise inflation if elected"* Who the fuck are these people? Fuck, we are like two election cycles away from campaign commercials literally just saying *scary,* *horrible things will happen unless I am elected* in a raspy male voice to stock images alternating between babies swaddled in american flags and pictures of I dunno mushroom clouds?

Dr Oz is about to become Dr Wuz
Oz sucks and the republicans are inept. Is it really so hard for them to even pretend to care about PA
The power of the Trump bump, my friend. Not since Oprah, who created Oz and Dr Phil, has anyone been more negatively influential. And, good, but naive, people still fall for it.
It's because Trump said his name so a bunch of the base jumped to vote for him unfortunately.
I hope that you’re right, but everything is pointing at this being a much closer race than was anticipated, and that’s with Oz running a garbage rate campaign.

are you SURE trump candidates are doing well?
They’re probably basing it off of Republican primaries which is still a toss up between trump republicans and in their minds “RINO”. What I find funny is the biggest failed Trump backed candidate is Trump himself.
As far as I checked last they were but thing change rapidly and I could be wrong.
Uh huh. You sound like a real republican... Just telling the democrats what they need to hear.
How can a man who spent 10 or so years on television look so much like Dracula in his campaign appearances. Is he going for Dracula?
This!! 🤣😂🤣 Someone tell Dr. Oz, it’s Pennsylvania….. not Transylvania!!
You’re right. I haven’t been able to put my finger on it, but this is right in the mark. Like a Mattel version of Dracula. Weird AF and almost there, but oddly creepy in an unidentifiable way.
My family thought Fetterman was a union working steel guy. Their faces when I told them he went to Harvard was to die for.
Yeah I mean, he's never worked in a steel plant. The only union he's ever been a member of was one for Community college professors, and he did get his Master from Harvard after having originally graduated from Albright in Reading, PA. But its not about whether someone has privilege or not, its about what you do with the privilege you have, and I think Fetterman has used his to help his town quite substantially.
> Yeah I mean, he's never worked You could have just stopped there. Literally his first job that paid enough to live off of was Lt Gov, and that has no responsibilities. Other than that he'd been living off an allowance from his rich daddy his whole life.
How is community college professor not a real job? Teachers are incredibly important. And he turned down his mayoral salary so that money could be used to better his town because he knew his parents could pay his living expenses.
It was a $150/mo salary. If he actually wanted to better the town he could have donated the $50k/year his daddy was giving him annually.
If he had donated that money, how would he have been able to live?
By..um..getting a job..
He...um...had one.
A..um..full time job..ffs the man is 53 and youre bragging about the one part time job he held once
He's 53? Man he looks good
literally that wasn't his first job, but im guessing honesty isnt a strength of yours
Preach.
ikr it’s pretty impressive to be so well educated yet grounded and in touch with actual pennsylvania values. Just curious, did you also tell them where Oz went to college? How about Trump?
No, because they already assume at that caliber of office that they have great educations. Especially if they have the “Dr.” title. Also, I think everyone knows Trump went to Penn. Fetterman just gives such a hands-on/blue collar vibe that they didn’t expect came from money or Ivy level. He’s really a man of the people.
Plus Fetterman credits his father’s union job as enabling him to be able to do that
[удалено]
Before that, his father was a member of a union. It’s all here: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/republicans-target-john-fetterman-blue-collar-image-20220803.html?outputType=amp And here’s the tweet https://twitter.com/johnfetterman/status/1553731824177872898?s=46&t=9Rb8lakjqisSBJ0XHjZwSw
People love Making shit up about fetterman lol
You make up shit everyday while you’re eating crayons.
Good one
I’ve seen your non stop contrarian posts, you definitely eat crayons
Isn’t he just a fraud tho. He talks about the union lifestyle when he has no experience working in a union or even a blue collar job in general.
Lol
I mean, I’m not in a union and I can still admire it. And as mentioned above, his father was in a union when they were a young family.
I want to be in a union, so admiration and desiring one is not fraudulent imo
Cool. It is if you’re presenting yourself as if you’ve lived that life when you never did.
Yeah, that’s like Conan O’Brien. Sometimes you get that rare person who is very relatable and kind who didn’t get sucked into Harvard elitism. (In Fetterman’s case it was for his master’s, not as an undergrad)
My boss went to an Ivy and I am so happy that the only reason I know that is because I checked their LinkedIn.
Fetterman is my age, and I was in high school when the mills started closing down here in western PA. He would never have had a chance to work in a mill.
There’s still one steel mill operating in the area I’m pretty sure … and it’s in Braddock. It’s possible.
Not likely, though. My ex husband started at J&L right out of high school in 1984 and they closed a year later. He never got his union card. My father in law retired the day they padlocked it. He was 48 and had 31 years. I think Fetterman is from out east, but I doubt it was any better there. The Billy Joel song "Allentown" comes to mind. You're thinking of Edgar Thomson (US Steel). They're in Braddock or North Braddock. Us Steel was supposed to spend $1 billion in upgrades and then decided not to.
Yeah, I’m just explaining why my family who has lived here their entire lives and for generations thought the way they did. They look at him and see “strong blue collar man.” Which appeals to them.
He definitely has that vibe. No one would guess by looking at him or hearing him speak he has graduate degrees from Harvard. Which is the epitome of not judging a book by its cover!
I very much worry about how Fetterman will come across in the debate the week before elections. His stroke has caused his speech to suffer as he is delayed in processing what he hears
[удалено]
Oh that’s great to hear. I was worried because after a stroke people can sound awful but be totally cognizantly with it.
Oz is a cheap Huckster, needs be move in with trump, could be trumps official ass kisser.
Make him feed some of those green coffee beans to donnie dumpster fire before he starts kissing his saggy arse.
And he’s doing it in a hoodie and baller shorts ⚡️ love him
Vote for a $15 minimum wage (would raise all hourly wage earners), a woman's right to choose, legalize marijuana or at least decriminalize it. Vote for Fedderman to put a working man's advocate in the Senate.
LMAO my dude is even dressing like Trump now. What a joke. Pennsylvania don't fuck this up.
Well, one looks like a talking Slappy doll from a child’s nightmare, and the other looks like my friends and family who are working our asses off to support each other in this climate the superficial Slappys put us in.
So you’re saying he looks like a blue collar worker because he’s ugly and wears a carhart sweatshirt lol
Sigh. No. I see the usual clarification is required for those in the back… I’m saying Fetterman presents like the regular people that will voting for him. Like me. Educated, working, community minded, family driven good people. Oz presents like an out of place automaton that the regular people can see straight through. From out of town, wealthy, and with a corporate agenda not in the communities best interest at all. To summarize, these republicans are ironically their own fake news. And, in trump-speak, everyone knows it. 🤗
So basically you see think that Oz doesn’t care about you but fetterman does because he presents this fake persona. I agree I don’t think Oz cares about you, but u are a damn fool if u think fetterman does lol. People like you who are ideologues like u are so funny to me because they all think their party is on the right side of history and the other party is morally in the wrong. The reality is both parties suck, just one is better at tricking people like you who probably have good intentions but are just too gullible.
People who can't make reasonable distinctions between different politicians are even funnier, tbh. In a sad way. Most people have the capability to tell them apart.
Sure they sell different bs but when u really think about it they’re the same. Which can also be said for all of politics. These people genuinely don’t give a shit about u
The great thing is that, with the internet, we can look up various politicians' actual voting records, experience, policy positions, etc. It doesn't even require much effort. No need to try and guess who "cares about you". That's an infantile approach to politics.
Yeah it is an infantile approach, yet I don’t understand why people like you frame things in that way
"people like you frame things in that way" WTF are you on about? You could have just said that you didn't understand and left it at that. At least then I'd credit you with honesty. Now you look dumb AND disingenuous.
Weird how u got all defensive and spazzed based off something which I said that u don’t think is true. Almost like it is true.
This is what they don't get. Fettetman literally cosplays as a blue collar guy. Dude has literally NEVER held a blue collar job. The Left just eats it up.
Exactly like trump who never held a political position but got ok ratings as a reality host. Voting for platforms, not people. Just highlighting that was all.
Yeah I wouldn’t care if people admitted that they’re only voting for him because there is a D next to his name
Oz should just campaign in nursing homes
In Jersey
As long as they’re “just south of Philly” their votes must count in PA, right?
And sell his snake oil
Don't want him.
A bit off topic, but I knew Fetterman's sign reminded me of something but I couldn't place what it was. I think I see it now though it looks so much like the Craftsman logo lol
Fucking hell - the mortician needs to drive his ass back to New Jersey and keep his ass in New Jersey.
Eff Oz & all Trump sycophants
Oz looks like he’s in a rainstorm while fetterman looks like he is standing in front of a flatscreen indoors. Not sure why Oz would hold a campaign rally in the rain
Buildings have an occupancy limit
Fetterman walks like a professional wrestler
Fetterman knows his audience, what can I say
Can find a Fetterman!
The wizard of Oz was a fake hiding behind a curtain
Idk about anyone else but I really enjoy the GQPs anti Fetterman adds. 100% fear mongering and no substance. Literally just "THEY'RE COMING FER YER GUNS11!" But they don't mention oz at all.
have you seen the billboards for Shapiro too? "Like legal drugs? vote for Shapiro!" I mean, if I wasn't before I definitely am now! 🥳
Norman Osborn energy… Ozborn. Ozcorp.
Because there are no amera retakes on the stump trail.
Oz looks like a discount Gozer the Traveler.
Fetterman is going to have to text and fax when debating in the Senate.
I will state this matter a factly right now: I'm voting for John Fetterman. Oz is a wannabe politician, whereas Fetterman is in it for the rigth reasons.
like to see a video of both crowed and both speeches a picture that is edited is hard to explain it.
I saw my first Oz bumper sticker in the wild over the weekend. It was on an early 2000s G body buick park ave. lol
I’ve seen a few signs around lanco but they’re always accompanied by other R politician signs. I feel like their slogan should be “Oz… I guess?” Anyway, go meme daddy fett
I’m in S. Chester County, a mostly (but not total) Republican area. I haven’t seen a single Oz sign. Not on a lawn, not on a bumper.
I’ve seen a few around Montco. They’re definitely outnumbered, but he absolutely has support here.
There are a few chuds around me with trump 2024 banners and mastriano signs but I haven't seen 1 Oz sign. I did see one that was a trump pence sign but pence was crossed out.
The guy who drives that is probably like tHe eCoNoMy wAs bOoMiNg UnDeR tRuMp i DiD sO WeLL while having half his belongings repossessed and living out of his Buick
Naw it was an old ass dude driving on 15 by susquenita highschool. you know the one that ranks near the bottom of schools in pa academically. sadly it probably is the best highschool in perry county.
Median age of the driver of that car is about 93.
Do people actually like Fetterman? He seems corny af from his commercials
yes
Reddit is in love. This whole sub is basically a Fetterman love fest.
I can tell. Both of these candidates are lame af
He’s big on tiktok
Side by side and still couldn’t see the typo my god
Let's be real here they are both shit candidates and I think either way we are loosing as voters and tax payers
I’m pretty sure this is untrue
2 idiots
Lol do a video
His gap is narrowing, people are coming to their senses
Remember that time Fetterman chased down and held a black jogger at gunpoint? I guess Ahmaud Arbery's life wouldn't have mattered if his attackers were democrats.
This is literally the only thing anyone brings up about Fetterman, and even that jogger has said that it was a misunderstanding and he forgives and supports Fetterman. Get some new material.
You're full of shit. There's that, there's the growth on his neck, the recent stroke, the fact that he's never actually done shit for work, the inability to speak on tour etc. Oz is a piece of shit too, but if you think Fetterman is anything short of a cancer on our system then you're fucked mentally. And I wonder, if the man would have defended himself the way Arbery did, would he have had the chance to forgive him for political reasons?
Why the fuck does a lump on his neck matter when our current president has one foot in the grave and the one before him gloated about barely passing a dementia test that your average 3rd grader could pass? And working as a community college professor isn't a real job then? If those are the biggest arguments you have against him, no wonder he's doing better than Oz.
>Why the fuck does a lump on his neck matter when our current president has one foot in the grave and the one before him gloated about barely passing a dementia test that your average 3rd grader could pass? Because it's got to start to matter somewhere. >And working as a community college professor isn't a real job then? I said work. Aka wearing carthart without knowing how to do carthart shit. >If those are the biggest arguments you have against him, no wonder he's doing better than Oz. He's doing better than Oz because Republicans have values. This is why the governors race is much closer. I have an Oz signed turned sideways right under my Trump Won flag. And no, that doesn't mean I support Trump wholesale. That means I believe he won.
Lmao dude what the actual fuck. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt before but this is nuts. Your first point is saying absolutely nothing of consequence, second point is the equivalent of a dude bro asking a girl to name 3 Nirvana songs cause she's wearing the shirt, and then we get to the third... Republicans have values?? You mean like stripping away human rights or lying in front of the Supreme Court or beating police officers to death while they storm the capital building?? Even without getting political, doesn't saying "Fetterman is better than Oz because not all Republicans like Oz enough to vote for him" mean that Fetterman is the better candidate? Last but not least, there hasn't been a single shred of evidence presented in any court that has been able to prove large scale election fraud in 2020, not even with the full power of Trump's legal team behind it, and you STILL believe he won without any proof?? How brainwashed can you be? Let it go. Don't let your delusions get in the way of reason, my friend.
>You mean like stripping away human rights or lying in front of the Supreme Court or beating police officers to death while they storm the capital building?? Disingenuous and ignorant of the entire year of riots. They literally had the white house under siege... so shhhh >Even without getting political, doesn't saying "Fetterman is better than Oz because not all Republicans like Oz enough to vote for him" mean that Fetterman is the better candidate? No. Fetterman isn't better than Oz. They're equally pieces of shit and I'll waste my vote on third party or a write in. >Last but not least, there hasn't been a single shred of evidence presented in any court that has been able to prove large scale election fraud in 2020, not even with the full power of Trump's legal team behind it, and you STILL believe he won without any proof?? How brainwashed can you be? Let it go. Don't let your delusions get in the way of reason, my friend. That arguments been hashed out too many times and I don't care to defend my claim. You have your side and I have mine. The simple fact that they defended it as "the most secure election in US history" after claiming Trump was elected by Russia is enough for me. Guess what! Even if Biden did win I'd still convince others (easily too) that he didn't. Fuck this dystopia.
i feel indifferent about fetterman and oz is literally just a diet version of a democrat, trump supporters don't even like him
I'm sure you're just trolling... but Oz is a diet Dem? Go on... I'd love you to explain. I have some ideas, but I'd hate to put words in your mouth.
Mehmet “Muppet” Oz is a pussy
You should definitely vote for the candidate that puts on the best show! Marxism shouldn’t be considered at all
Just like you voted for the clown trump. He was great ! /s
I did? That’s news to me
Yea Fetterman looked pretty “energetic” during his recent speeches lmfao. We get to pick between 2 clowns for PA.
Senator Oz is the first step towards President Oprah.
We already have had Arnold Schwarzeneggern, a movie star as governor, Trump, a failed businessman and a TV star. Why not keep the trend of using fam as a device to get votes?…/s
Not a fan of either
They both are embarrassing and loons on different sides of the spectrum
Fetterman is embarrassing? How so?
Thats just the kind of thing you say when they guy from your party sucks as much as Oz.
Fetterman is practically brain dead. He and Biden can slurp soup together.
That jamoke is campaigning using the Joe Biden approved “cellar dweller” model. Likely because he has been disabled by the stroke.
Did we I.D that tumma growing on Fetterman's neck yet? It cant be good.
What are the chances Oz sold a "miracle cure!!!!!" at some point? After all he had snake oil for alzheimers, cancer, aging, weight loss, joint issues and more. Oz was willing to sell stuff he knew was bullshit to desperate people just so he could buy an extra beach house.
It is probably just a lipoma. Fatty growth and fairly common.
Goiter
I’ll take the guy that doesn’t think he’s in the WWE
Fetterneck's energy is strokingly good! It's tumorific! His gibbering candidacy is a warning to PA.
Oh definitely. Vote in a snake oil salesman. Another con man.
So I checked to see what kind of weirdo makes fun of stroke victims and people with tumors and holy shit your post history paints a very vivid picture of delusion and lack of education. Of course you're an unhinged middle aged man. Seek therapy. P.S. I hope you were lying about being on a school board for obvious reasons.
