President Biden hadn’t lived in Pennsylvania in over 70 years but yet they still said he was a Pennsylvanian. There are tons to use against Dr. Oz. This one is not one of them.

Oz is running to represent a state. How can you represent a state and claim you know its needs, etc. when you haven’t lived there in almost 40 years?

It's a non-issue IMO. More than enough legit criticisms of the good Dr. to go around.

Unlike Oz, who not only does not live in PA, but he also admittedly committed voter fraud by VBMing in PA using his in-laws address.

Pretty shitty example, comparing the former 1st Lady, Senator & Sec of State to a TV talk show host.

18. She started running before she lived in New York
Wed Dec 1, 2021, 07:59 PM
Dec 2021

She had started publicly discussing a run for the NY senate seat as early as February 1999 and formed an exploratory committee and embarked on a “listening tour” of New York in July 1999. She and Bill bought a house in New York two months later in September 1999 that they moved into in January — 3 months after she had filed her statement of candidacy with the FEC.

Similarly Bobby Kennedy first leased a residence in New York the same week he formally announced his candidacy and didn’t buy a place in the state until seven months after he was elected.

I point this out not as a criticism of Hillary or Bobby — there was nothing wrong with what they did. But the facts surrounding their candidacies suggest Oz’s lack of connections to Pennsylvania isn’t likely to be a significant issue in the campaign.

One of the first posts, shitting on Biden, then one of the first responses, shitting on Hillary.

This is fucking Democratic Underground. If you want to provide cover for Republicans by using false whataboutisms to shit on our Democrats, get the fuck outta here.

Biden wasn't running to represent Pennsylvania specifically and the Clintons had purchased a home in New York in the late 90s and have lived in the state ever since.

Stop lying and distorting actual FACTS to shit on some of our best Democrats just to provide cover for a fucking Republican snake oil salesman. This is DEMOCRATIC Underground.

In both instances, they effectively started running for Senate before living in New York.

And the voters didn't care, which is the point.

Hillary had every right to run in NY and the people didn't care and voted for her. It was a non-issue. Just like Oz in PA.

If you want to move into a state and run for office and the voters support you, great. It's entirely up to the people of PA just like Hillary was entirely up to the people of NY.

...because I'd fucking love to watch a born and bred Pennsylvanian in John Fetterman call his ass out for being a wacko TV doctor from New Jersey that wants to come in and dictate to the citizens of Pennsylvania how many of their children dying is an acceptable level.

And it is certainly within Fetterman's right (or whichever Democratic wins the nomination) to point that out, but I'm sure the Republicans thank you for blunting fair criticism against them that they most CERTAINLY would against us if the shoe was on the other foot and a New York celebrity type was just dropping in the state to try and buy up a nomination.

Once again, this is not Republican Underground nor is it Independent Underground or Third Way Underground. It is DEMOCRATIC Underground -- support Democrats and stop enabling Republicans with silly ass false comparisons like these.

Oz lived in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, with his wife Lisa for much of his adult life. They have been married since 1985, and have four children. Lisa is an author who has had appearances on radio and TV. His eldest daughter is author and television host Daphne Oz. Oz and his wife founded HealthCorps, a non-profit organization for health education and peer mentoring. In late 2020, Oz changed his voter registration to the home of his in-laws in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania. His web site lists his home as Bryn Athyn


(link) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmet_Oz

Apparently he resided in Pennsylvania while attending University of Pennsylvania for MBA and Med School. Recently for his Senate campaign he has taken residence in the Bryn Athyn, PA home owned by his in-laws.
