business is a better background to be in nowadays than politics

true,

small business/local business would be a boon

but **successful** businesses

everyone has that perception (which is honestly completely accurate) of the career politicians who are bought out and are corrupt

Saccone actually seems to be getting off his ass now

because of name recognition and more personal wealth

@Deleted User were you monitoring his activity before?

Good, Saccone needs to do that kind of shit

from the past few minutes glancing at his FB page, I'm more optimistic

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Yeah

for how long

Last week and the week before, it was like he was a shut in

good

do you read the comments?

I don't, because facebook tends to be more liberal than the general population

The psychology behind electoral politics is an interesting concept, even the way the name of a candidate sounds can be influential to someone's ability to vote for them

"Saccone" sounds like a mob boss name tbh

I was thinking that!

Lamb has a religious-ish/biblical connotation to it

https://www.facebook.com/ConorLambPA/

more innocent sounding too

Conor Lamb has more FB likes, but that's because the left has a stronger presence on FB

true

definitely has a lot of outsiders who don't even live on the district (liking his FB page)

like GA-06

https://www.facebook.com/ConorLambPA/

most of his support must be coming for CA and NY

to the average apolitical guy, a name can be enough, people don't focus too much on policy, when in the ballot box, a person who doesn't pay attention too much could just cast the vote for whoever sounds better

huh what a surprise😒

"Conor Lamb, please tell us how you feel about the AR 15"

A lot of people vote based on culture, not policy

"stop hiding"

" It is unbecoming a Marine"

they see Trump as a culture warrior and that makes people feel good and vote for him

lol and someone responded to the leftist twat saying that with 'muh Russia'

"You a Russian attempting to divide us? Well, it’s not working. If you lived in the 18th like we do, you would understand his position. Conor has already explained his self to us. He is not hiding. In fact, he met immediately with all the grassroots groups to answer questions. He are satisfied. So just stop and go visit saccone’s site."

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I'm in this for the culture war, actually

Lmao these people can't bother with the auto-cannibalism shit enough

they can't cut their losses and say "well this is the best we're going to get"

the thing is, the types of people in PA-18 willing to vote for Lamb aren't the deranged leftist muh Russia types

I could be wrong

I mean..there are leftists in rural areas

I think you're on the money

there was that one guy on this Discord a while back

who lives in rural Virginia but it turns out his family is pretty leftist

"Sorry Conor, I was supporting you until yesterday. How you can sleep well knowing you'll do nothing to help stop the mass shootings?"

" Do you ever visit people of color?"

lmao

these comments on Lamb's page

what

there are _no_ racial minorities in that district

it's one of the whitest districts in PA

It's really unfortunate that these people don't have more influence

I wish those people were the entire Democratic party

Thankfully the leftist auto-cannibalism seems stronger than I thought

at least on FB

you have Pelosi for that

@FLanon the thing is, they do have a lot of influence already

Not enough or Lamb wouldn't be in the party

He'd be independent probably or even R

anyway, a bunch of people replied to the "Do you ever visit people of color" comment calling her a Russian troll

leftists go "muh Russia" at a greater rate than /pol/lacks go "da jooooz"

and all this happened so fast

it wasn't even like this a couple years ago

or even before November 8, 2016

they sound like they're joseph mccarthy whenever they say shit like that

it's fucking hilarious

I don't really go to facebook at all, but Twitter is definitely full of that, everyone is a "russian bot"

I can't believe that within 2 weeks, DACA will be dead

"Rick Saccone blocked me from commenting on his page for mildly criticizing his debate performance...sad, lol. People name-call him and that’s ok but I questioned his fake outrage over the perceived attack on his military record in the debate and apparently that was too much for his campaign to handle. "

" I and several others have been completely blocked for non-vulgar comments on Saccone page. They allow just enough opposing views so as to appear supportive of free speech. Conor does not fear trolls on this page and relies on us to engage in constructive rebuttal when trolls try to divide us."

"He blocked me too because I said he looked like an old man with anger issues "

this is one thing I think Saccone is doing wrong

I don't think it'll have much of an effect

you've got to take the heat in this day and age

but the fact that he's apparently the kind of person who would do it doesn't bode well

his facebook won't be what fucks him over, barely anyone who votes actually looks at that shit

"I won't be voting, lamb isn't for strengthening current gun laws, I'm out"

"Sorry I donated money"

"Can't vote for anyone that won't tighten up these laws, how do I live with myself after the next mass shooting? If I met one of those survivors, what do I tell them? It's not good enough"

^do you guys think that sentiment is indicative of a large enough portion of voters in PA-18

I'm sure it's a very gun friendly district

but

I don't think so, these are just facebook fags being facebook fags I think

the kinds of people who would vote Democrat in that district might be the minority who would care about gun control legislation

imagine being such a fucking faggot that the reason you don't vote for someone is because he doesn't take your means of defense away

how can that actually be a deal breaker for anyone

yeah, hopefully there are enough such faggots in PA-18

@FLanon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okAZqsqJFKI

you saw this debate ?

haven't bothered with it much

moderator's pretty faggy, "DA POOR KIDS AH BEGGING TO TAKE DA A SALT WEAPINS AWAY HOW DO YOU RESPOND"

Honestly from this debate, if I was an average independent voter, I'd lean to Lamb, seems more honest and the military rap is a good one too, I think he'll win because I don't think the average dem in that district is one of these facebook hipster guys who are begging to get their guns taken away. The independent vote would go to him IMO.

hmm

you didn't think he seemed robotic?

I didn't get that vibe, he was a smooth talker but never got to the point of Rubio level of repeating the same line over and over of a rehearsed speech

the thing is, there aren't going to be many Democrats at all in that district

yeah, the independent vote is key though
