Dear Washington Post: when you get your medical license, we might care what you think about the PA

[onecaliberal]

Senate race. The actual doctors caring for Fetterman have cleared him. Who do you people think you are? Your pandering for a tv doctor who has swindled and made profit off woo medicine during COVID is pathetic. Even for you. Protecting fascist is never a good look. Oz is a grifting pile of garbage. He doesn’t even live in the state. We have enough garbage in government now. Too many Fascist and their supporters trying to invalidate 81 million votes.

[peppertree]

1. Oz is a real Turkey

That is the last place he ever cast a vote in.

[geardaddy]

21. DUzy!

[peppertree]

24. Why, thank you.

But then, that quack makes it so easy.

[Deminpenn]

2. Interestingly,

if Fetterman had been born with a disability, overcome it and his life proceeded as it has, he would be being praised left and right for his tenacity.

Fwiw, in my driving circuits there haven't been many yard signs out. I've seen the most for Fettterman, a few Shapiro and 1 Mastriano, but not a single one for Oz.

[appleannie1]

4. I live in rural nw PA.

I have not seen many signs out at all but most of the ones around here are Mastriano and a couple for OZ. I stopped at the Cheese Factory in New Wilmington, PA on Sunday after leaving a Farmer's Market in Ohio. I walked out without buying anything because they had Mastriano garbage all over the inside of the store and had a stack of his posters on the counter next to the cash register. Right across the line in Ohio on route 208, you would have thought it was a presidential race and the only candidate was trump. There were houses with trump, Confederate, Don't Tread on Me and Thin Blue line flags in their front yards. My D-I-L said that a lot of the flags that were still up last fall were down now. More than half of them were gone. They were all for trump. That it was like he was the founding father of the town and they owed their lives to him. I just hope enough women, Philly, PGH and half of Erie pull through. This whole manufactured inflation that big corporations are pulling has me a little scared.

[Deminpenn]

31. My county is generally conservative and

R voting, also bordering Ohio. Trump won it and a few people kept their Trump signs out long past the election, but there aren't any now. The last holdout lives up the road from me and they took all their political signs down months ago. The only one that re-emerged recently was a Mastriano, none for Oz or even local candidates.

[Lonestarblue]

3. Isn't it sad that the Post still keeps defending Republicans after all this Party has done to

try to destroy our democracy! Their masthead says that “Democracy dies in darkness,” yet they have helped keep Republican shenanigans out of the light.

6. Karen Tumulty, Jonathan Capehart and the rest of the Editorial Board taking a FUD dump on Fetterman

whilst not doing the same for dangerous stooges like 'Fraudster Thee Quack' Oz, Herschel 'Stupid AND Mental AF' Walker, Blake 'White Power-Powered' Masters, JD ' Rich n' Sleazy' Vance, etc etc

Nothing could be further from the truth.

[Pepsidog]

8. I would rather see 1/2 of Fetterman than Oz as he will be guided and surrounded by people who share

his values.

[yardwork]

9. Very disappointed in the Post.

Time to ask our own "what about" questions. This unknown loser named Budd is running lying ads against our Democratic senate candidate Cheri Beasley in NC, and he refuses to debate her. How come Budd gets a pass?

Herschel Walker appears to have severe cognitive issues, as does Chuck Grassley. Where's the WaPo on them?

[allegorical oracle]

14. Hell, most drumpfsters have cognitive issues -- can't deal with realities like Biden WON. nt

[Ilsa]

10. If Fetterman needed a wheelchair for a few months, for

either the stroke or a broken leg, would they be so critical? Here in Georgia, Herschel Walker's brain is DNR.

[dlk]

11. It's their snobbery as much as their double standard

Fetterman doesn’t dress like your typical senate candidate and I doubt they care for his beard either. Add that to their, “if it’s a democrat…” double standard and you see articles of this ilk, cloaking their biases in concern.

[radical noodle]

12. The comments are heartening

Apparently, a lot of people see this for what it is... a hit job.

[The Jungle 1]

15. Oz is a snake oil salesman. Just like trump

Just for information purposes in my Philly suburb the Shapiro and Fetterman signs far out number the repuke signs. Also most of the treasonous trump signs have come down.

[Butterflylady]

17. They're trying everything but thankfully it's not working.

PA voters are smarter then most of the WP journalists. We know bulls**t when we 👂 hear it or read it.

[lindysalsagal]

18. Fetterman's gottit. Not to worry. PA loves him.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. What is ironic though, they ALL accept that the loon Mastriano (running for governor here)

REFUSES to talk to any but the RW fuckery media. When he has events, they aren't invited and are refused entry. And they just say "okay", accept it, slink away without a fight, and then switch to attacking Democrats.

They are afraid of Fetterman because he has completely torpedoed their vaunted predictions and assumptions. There's barely a mention about 2 other (Democratic) Senators - Chris Van Hollen and Ben Luján, who BOTH also suffered strokes in the same time period (Luján in January and Van Hollen that same May as Fetterman).

If one wants to talk about "Stockholm Syndrome", the mainstream U.S. media is the epitome of it.

[PennRalphie]

20. Fetterman's got this

I live in Pittsburgh, Fetterman is extremely popular. He doesn’t need to debate. He’s gonna win by double digits.

[maxrandb]

22. It's past time to take the gloves off and hurt these asspickles in the only place they care about

their WALLETS!!

This was NOT an editorial, it was a fucking hit-piece.

TODAY...RIGHT NOW...The Washington Post should lose so many subscribers their phones should smolder, and they'd need a Go Fund Me to publish tomorrows edition.

It's pretty simple;

Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

30. Claire McCaskill

Called out this story on MJ this morning. She was on a completely different topic but at the end she chimed in about this editorial story from the previous segment and what a double standard they seem to have.

[Deminpenn]

32. Monmonth has a poll out today showing

Fetterman up 49-39 over Oz. The poll's of RVs which I trust more than the LV models. An interesting finding is that although those polled say their top concerns are the economy, inflation, they think Fetterman will do a better job of addressing them than Oz. That seemed to surprise the pollster, but it doesn't surprise me because we all know the positive changes has made in Braddock a dying milltown like many places here in western PA. And, he still lives there!

[stage left]

33. This makes me sorry

That I dumped the Post, because I'd like to scream, " What about Herschel Walker's Cognitive dysfunction?" Not to mention Boebert, Marge, Louis Gohmert, and an absolute host of other rethugs, including Trump, who can't put any coherent words together ever, and never have been able to. And after I finished screaming I would have the pleasure of cancelling my subscription all over again.

[peggysue2]

34. Well, here in my corner of Delaware Co., Pa . . .

There are a slew of Democratic signs for Shapiro and Fetterman, a single Mastriano sign and I have yet to spot anything for Oz.

I moved to the right place!

[RobinA]

37. Here In Montco

I have not seen an Oz sign. There are few Mastriano signs. Thankfully, because my blood pressure skyrockets and I think about doing things that are illegal when I do see one.

[peggysue2]

38. Sounds good, RobinA

Not your skyrocketing blood pressure, that is, but the lack of Mastriano/Oz signs.

I spotted one Mastriano sign down the street from me, very tiny. As it should be. I told my husband I was tempted to egg it. And not a single Oz sign, even in front of houses (3) that sported Trump/Brandon signs in the past.

No-to-few signs in this regard is a very good sign. Philly and the surrounding counties are looking very strong for the Dems. As does the southwest.

I'm feeling confident for November.
