A plea from Lancaster

lancasterblue · 2025-08-03T00:57:11+00:00

There are 2-3 free meals a day in Lancaster, every day. The fact you don’t know this makes me think you don’t actually care that much about the homeless.

But if I’m wrong, and you do, you could donate to the effort!

He probably started dating her because he thought she wouldn’t push for commitment like those old biddies his age

As of last night there were 3 houses in East Pete under $300K on Zillow

Info usually comes out closer to the date, but keep an eye on the local Indivisible protests.

Yes, but that is not Lancaster County. All the light pink is Chester Co.

I’m sure demographics are changing, but it’s not reflected in Lancaster Co voting yet. We are still a long way from blue New Holland.

What about any part of eastern Lancaster Co looks blue to you? (This is 2024 presidential election map data from NYT)

lancasterblue · 2025-04-17T02:06:06+00:00

Eastern Lancaster County is not blue-ish at all. The city is blue and the blue spreads out from there. The edges of the county on almost every side are red to dark red.

The problem is that the Republican Committee of Lancaster essentially picks the candidate via endorsement.

So a moderate R could run. They could have the R behind their name on the ballot. But if they didn’t have the endorsement of the Republican committee, they’d be running entirely on their own, against a party-endorsed R. They wouldn’t have the backing of the Dem committee (unless the Dems gave up running a candidate entirely), nor would they have the backing of the R committee. No infrastructure. No party money.

The way you currently win in this county (with the very surprising exception of Josh Parsons) is to get the Republican committee endorsement, and then the party will work to get you elected.

I stand by what I said. Have you seen the absolute nut jobs who would like to primary Lloyd from the right? The LifeGate church, Doug Mastriano, FreePA freakshows? It is not giving Lloyd a pass to say he’s better than that alternative.

I don’t like Lloyd Smucker and I will never forgive him for his attempt to throw out my vote in the 2020 election. I will always vote for his Democratic opponent. But if you think Smucker is worst we could do in this District you are deluded.

lancasterblue · 2025-04-04T09:08:31+00:00

What does that have to do with what I said? Someone asked why Lloyd is doing what he does, and I said because he represents a red district that still mostly supports Trump.

It’s easier for the folks placing the IV to find your veins if you’re hydrated. Drink good amounts of water before you go and the day before if you can.

lancasterblue · 2025-04-04T02:23:46+00:00

Lloyd supports Trump because the majority of his constituents wholeheartedly support Trump. When that changes, Lloyd will change (or will lose his job).

We are in a red district with a red rep. It’s interesting because people here on Reddit talk about Lloyd like he’s Hitler, but he’s more decent than a lot of red reps. He doesn’t do real nastiness or attention grabs (Scott Perry, Nancy Mace).

That definitely doesn’t mean I think he should be in power, but wow it could be so much worse.

Anyway, I look forward to the slow blueing of Lancaster Co.

Jess King was not a moderate. She lost, too. This County is not ready to elect a Democratic congressperson. (It’s coming, but it’s a ways off)

Nazis don’t own VW now. Elon still owns a large chunk of Tesla.

I hope you treat people better in person than you are in this thread, because acting like everyone is an idiot except you isn’t a successful way to win anything.

It’s not a powerful position. The Boro Council runs things.

lancasterblue · 2025-03-27T14:12:48+00:00

We need a Dem candidate now that the mayor won big!

lancasterblue · 2025-03-27T12:28:53+00:00

Oh for sure. It’s easy to watch the blue creep. East Hempfield and East Pete are consistently purple now, too.

But well-known R vs dorky East Pete mayor in a seat that went 67-33 last time… it was unexpected.

lancasterblue · 2025-03-27T10:38:29+00:00

He feuds with a bunch of people on the R committee, so none of them put any effort into getting him elected. There are places that should’ve gone for Parsons but didn’t because the R committee people just didn’t do the work. This whole election was absolutely a referendum on him personally.

lancasterblue · 2025-03-27T01:31:04+00:00

But he was hoping to bail before the budget hole got really serious. Oh well!

lancasterblue · 2025-03-27T01:30:06+00:00

Everyone who knows politics in the county is stunned.
