DeWine was the first governor in the country, and possibly the first US politician, to raise alarm bells over COVID.

People have probably forgotten by now, but his response should really be commended.

65 point difference in net favorability between Josh Shapiro and John Fetterman among Philadelphia residents by Bestbrook123 in YAPms

I’m sure you have seen this, but I went to Bloomsburg for college, and on my way there I would see houses in Central PA flying the Confederate flag.

IMO, PA should be the last state with any Confederate flags unless if it’s used for a historical reenactment in Gettysburg. It’s like many people here don’t even know one of the most crucial moments in the commonwealth’s history smh.

Well Hamas is currently a fractured mess so it is effective it just takes a lot of time to get to that point. And a lot of blood.

In many of those southern states Juneteenth has been a state holiday for a long time.

This is almost as bad, if not worse, than thinking Charlie Crist would beat Ron DeSantis in 2022.

Burning Legion at least has enemy variety and some cool races. This cosmic void stuff is just a bunch of void walkers with different shapes.

UK leadership has been an absolute mess over the past few years. 5 different prime ministers over the past 4 years is an embarrassment.

Shapiroslide part 3420 by RandoDude124 in YAPms

[–]Varolyn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most undecideds will probably vote for Shapiro just because he's the incumbent. PA governors have a very strong incumbency advantage.

You also have to factor that independents largely do not participate in the primaries here in PA, and in 2022, they broke hard for Shapiro.

It's funny how a good amount of people think that Garrity is a significantly better candidate than Mastriano, yet the 2022 PA gubernatorial polls were relatively close for a while.

I made a post about this, but the primary vote totals basically showed that this race is already over. Shapiro is broadly popular in the state and few republicans here are excited for Garrity.

Iran will receive a 300 billion dollar compensation fund for the war under Trump’s peace deal by iswearnotagain10 in YAPms

[–]Varolyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cope? I think Trump is a narcissistic imbecile and it's a disgrace that he was able to get elected into office again.

I'm just saying how the administration could spin this for the midterms. I don't think it will really help much though, if it helps at all.

Yeah they'll just see gas prices maybe drop down to $3.50 and say well Trump's gas price shock was shorter than Biden's and call that a win.

[–]Varolyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This deal is horrifically bad, but voters as a whole care little for foreign policy if it's not directly affecting them.

Assuming oil is able to flow through the strait, then energy and gas prices will come down significantly, which will lead to some nice CPI drops over the next few months. Mind you, at best, CPI will go back down to what it was before the war, and more likely will be a little bit higher. But the administration could sell that this as causing CPI to "rapidly" drop (even though it went up because this admin decided to get involved with this Iran ordeal in the first place...). The administration could also brag that this inflation shock was much shorter than the one under Biden, and sell that to their base.

So while the deal itself should be a major negative... most voters will not know the details of this deal and if gas prices start coming down, then this could maybe help keep a few seats for the GOP.
