THREAD: As the dust begin to settle, and people begin to truly accept the reality of the results -- it's become clear that White Progressives (and their apologists) were the real problem.
They went from being Bernie Bros rooting for Helen Gym into Karens whining -- here's why.
For starters, there's been a lot of racist rhetoric used to try to make excuses for why Gym has lost.
No, it wasn't because Cherelle Parker had "low-information" voters -- it's because she won the Black vote -- something that other candidates didn't truly invest their time in.
Black voters made the difference in this election. Whether they were rich or poor -- the vast majority of them backed Cherelle Parker over everyone else.
There are more Black Philadelphians than any other race of people in this city.
THREAD: Right now, as these results continue to come out one thing is for certain -- these far-left progressives are taking a massive ass whooping at the polls.
The national appeals, social stunts, nasty tactics, attacks on the local press did more harm than good.
As I knew.
Philly politics is local, you can't run a citywide race as a national candidate.
I tried to tell folks that races will be won on the ground, not online solely.
Some spent so much time pushing moral platitudes than strategic campaigning.
They didn't read the room at all.
While progressives were divided, the establishment got tighter -- capitalizing off of the division to galvanize around pragmatic candidates.
They banked on low voter turnout and it paid off for them in an already tight race.
As a Black journalist in Philadelphia who has been covering this senate race, I'm not surprised by this endorsement.
If people focused on the data, and not the negative campaign attack optics, Fetterman had been polling well with Black voters throughout this campaign.
I've tried to explain to national observers throughout this race that if you're not talking to Black voters on the ground (and those who are covering it) you won't understand what's really going on.
Lamb hasn't garnered enough traction with Black voters over Fetterman.
Kevin Samuels has made a career off of shamelessly disgracing Black women for profit.
He emboldened the most toxic individuals to project tired and harmful narratives about Black women.
Dead or alive, what a disgraceful life to live.
That's all I've got for that misogynist.
We are entering a moment in time when the most marginalized are tired of "getting along just to get along" with our oppressors.
We're throwing hands, we're cursing them out in real time, we're shaming them for all of the violent things they continue to do.
Bring it on.
Black LGBTQIA people, Black women, and Black people who protect and defend us don't own any Black person within our community who afflict us any solidarity, care, consideration, respect, and/or grace.
You're no "family" of mine if you are actively trying to come for us. Period.
It's wild to me that some of these Conor Lamb supporters have visited Philly and NOW ARE SAYING SOME of the very things I have said about this race MONTHS AGO.
It's less than two weeks before the primary, and they are seeing the writing on the wall.
I just saw that thread.
John Fetterman will be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate.
No matter how many times you debate these polls, he's coming out each and every time.
Go cry somewhere else, go whine behind another tree.
He's winning, let it go.
Too much money, too many negative PAC ads aren't sticking -- it's time for moderate Democrats to let this petty infighting go and recognize that when he gets the nomination on May 17th, they need to gear up for November NOW.
