Make Your Last Minute Pitches Here
While I'm away, I'll have very little opportunity to check in. But if you'd like to make a last-minute pitch for your candidate, please feel free to do so in the comments. Please refrain from vulgar remarks.
After 8 pm, it will be too late.
25 comments:
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I agree with your analysis of the people who struggle to get out and vote. Then there are the lazy people who could care less and complain the loudest about the results.
ReplyDeleteWhich poll will you be at? Edwards and Wild voters are not happy you are involved in any official poll work due to your extreme bias. Hopefully you can refrain from showing any while people vote. Just in case, if you would please share where you will be we can send anonymous watchers to ensure fairness.
ReplyDeleteI will be at Hanover3. You can send watchers bc the law allows it. I do not tolerate any form of unfair behavior at my poll. My sole function is to help people vote. But feel free to complain. I will be making a few of my own about the illegal coordination that occurred with Emily'e List and NARSAL. You don't have a hugfest like the one Wild had with them and then deny there is any coordination. Even Fed Ed was not that brazen
ReplyDeleteVote Edwards for a true progressive Democrat that will help move the Party into the new millennium.
ReplyDeleteVote Edwards, he’s a man who has been working for progressive ideas 20 hours a day for 87 years without food or rest.
ReplyDeleteHe is a friend of Jesus.
He is a saint.
Greg and Susan not happy with Bernie work n the polls ! Well it won’t matter for them after about this time tomorrow. I think neither have all the necessary tools in their tool box . I lthink John is fine and Marty also but, the best problem solver would be Rodger .
ReplyDeletePlease exercise your right to vote. Polls are open until 8:00 PM.
ReplyDeletePlease exercise your right to vote if you've bothered to become informed about the candidates and the issues.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who would never dream of not voting, I urge anyone who is unsure about whether to vote to stay the hell home.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I just voted. That makes 53 years in a row without missing a Primary or General Election. It is the greatest freedom you have. Select your representatives whom you want to serve you in government. Vote. You can vote Democrat, Republican, or write in a name of someone who you think would best represent you. Just go out and vote.
ReplyDeleteGerald and Julie Seyfried
As a Senior I'm voting for Rick Daugherty the Active Life guy he's helping Seniors
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of the robo calls and polling calls and hang ups and mailers on end. Just give me some peace!
ReplyDeletePA law needs to change....we need open primaries and follow the lead of other states who ended this party idiocy!
ReplyDelete@12:27 all people have personal bias including Bernie but saying he would tamper in any way with results or try to impact voters while he's working in an official capacity is pretty crappy.
ReplyDeleteas a democrat, I will still vote none of the above against Casey
ReplyDeleteVote Susan Wild, who has the ability to bring real integrity and morality to congress. She has the brains and the guts and it is high time we elect a woman.
ReplyDeleteWe need to elect the most qualified and trusted person..just because of gender is not enough reason to vote for someone. That is ridiculous logic.
ReplyDeleteWild's obvious connection to Atown politics and Fed ED is a red flag if I ever saw one!
ReplyDeleteVote Edwards, he’s a man who has been working for progressive ideas 20 hours a day for 87 years without food or rest.
ReplyDeleteHe is a friend of Jesus.
He is a saint.
Don't vote for Edwards. We do not choose one religion over another in this country. Not everyone believes in Jesus. We don't need religion in Washington.
PA law needs to change....we need open primaries and follow the lead of other states who ended this party idiocy!
ReplyDeleteNo, we do not. If you want to vote in the primary, register in a party. You have no right to choose our candidate if you do not.
I Anon,9:26 some us don’t disagree with you. Pennsylvania is Commonwealth.we do lots of screwy things . Legislators should in my view, strongly review the ‘ TaxFree statuses of private colleges and hospitals for two examples . A litmus test should be used when something really does not benefit the general public ,the state or local folks in any given venue .
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your viewpoints Bernie, and per your suggestion since I can' bring myself to vote for Ms. Wild or Mr. Morganelli, I voted for Mr. Edwards. I don't like or trust either of what may be the front runners. On the other hand, Edwards is sincere and intelligent, and doesn't have the baggage of Wild or undesirable positions of Morganelli. It's a crap shoot like usual, and I refuse to vote for one of the worst candidates.
ReplyDelete2:38..You and I are in agreement. Good observations.
ReplyDelete"No, we do not. If you want to vote in the primary, register in a party. You have no right to choose our candidate if you do not."
ReplyDeleteIndependents should then be banned from voting in the general, Because by your logic, they have no right to vote for your candidate.
I waited until school was out so that my daughter would be able to go in and vote along with me. This election unfortunately had a low enough turnout that we wouldn't annoy anyone by me taking a few moments to explain a few things inside the curtain. We got out just in time to walk home before the storm hit.
