What I find very encouraging is the depth of support for Fetterman, a charismatic working-class no-nonsense guy who doesn't seem to be afraid of anything or anyone. He's the type of guy whom working people can get behind, and be excited voting for. We need a lot more like him in November's election, not timid snowflakes who hide in the background, never get out in the press, television, social media, or in person to their constituents, inspire no one, and who can only be seen right before an election every few years.
This is probably a really stupid question, but why is it when a Democrat wins an election there is rampant voter fraud, but when a Republican wins it's totally legit? I mean the only people who were caught committing voter fraud were Republicans - including Mark Meadows. How do we know the primaries were on the up and up?
What we need to include in our focus is state attorneys general. You know why, don't you? Remember Joe Stalin's maxim. It doesn't matter who votes. It matters who counts the votes. And what does the attorney general of each state do?
Yes, Robert, "It’s a disgrace that the Democratic Party is letting its primary process be overtaken by big money like this." But money always talks, doesn't it? As for the Democratic Party selling out, I lay the blame at Bill Clinton's feet. I think you were his Labor Secretary. How much might you agree with my (admittedly overly simplistic) assessment?
This kind of information is really important to know. I certainly wasn't able to find out this kind of information prior to the primaries in PA, but I wish I had been able to. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do deep research prior to the primaries, and was only able to Google the candidates, and see whatever information the local Democratic committee had posted and who they endorsed. From the information that I had available from what I thought were reputable news publications, such as The Philadelphia Inquirer, I even voted for Conor Lamb. I had no idea about his voting so frequently against the Democrats in the House, and that he is a good friend of Joe Manchin's. Had I known this, I too, would have voted for John Fetterman. I am horrified, though not surprised, that an insurrection attendee and supporter of the lie that Trump won the election in 2020 might become the governor in 2022. I can only hope that many Democrats show up to vote in the general election, as well as Independents who haven't become Trumpers.
So far I’m very encouraged at how the progressives in the party have been doing despite all the money being spent against them! When will the DNC and democratic establishment wake up? Ever since Biden introduced the original BBB, there has been a continuous and concerted effort to discredit the progressive wing of the party and its agenda. It’s been a full court press by monied interests, the MSM and with minimal support from the DNC. Progressives are progressing! Go team!
I'm with Rick Leavy. (see his comment) How can you say it's a shame the Democratic Party allowed "Big Money" to take over the primaries? How do we get money out of politics without trying to throw more money and outspend the big spenders?
Jaime McLeod-Skinner in a great campaigner and deserves to win. But due to a snafu in printing the ballots in Clackamas County (Schrader's stronghold), all of its ballots must be counted by hand. Results are not expected until Thursday. Hold on to your hat.

PA doesn't need a criminal as governor -- MastriaNO should be behind bars!!
And where is the DNC calling out the MAGA liars? Their silence is deafening.

You forgot to mention Madison Cawthorn. That's a big deal. Just maybe more and more Republicans will rethink voting that way.

The pleas I receive from dems are all about money. Not much about anything else. So disgusting apparently $$$$ matter more than ideas.

I live in PA and I’m not happy.
What can we do to stop big money in the primaries?
The latest activist SC ruling isn’t going to improve the big money situation either.
Maybe someone should report this MastriaNO creep to the Justice Dept.
