So many ?s about #pennsylvania general assembly
Can new majority force new vote?

Can he get his amendment for survivors passed and _then_ call for leadership vote?

So, you are following the #TrumpRally tweets. Hi. I live here. I work here. I love here in Rural and North East #Pennsylvania. We've knocked on 45k doors since March as @acttogethernepa.
The NY Times just said we are the center of political universe.

We know what do. We build people power to use people power by endorsing candidates like these leaders who will work so that all Americans have the tools and opportunities to realize their dreams.

Yo- running for office in 2022 in PA? Cool. Help me out here.

New rule. Before you start asking for help, talk up the 2021 OPPORTUNITY elections. People from school director to supreme court face an uphill struggle for attention.

Great read on 2020 and what we need. forgeorganizing.org/article/ducks-…

"We must build more organizations in small town and rural areas that work year round on issues if we’re going to win down-ballot races and build a governing majority, not just a presidential majority.

This hits home... Esp the non-profit VS revolution bit

My life's work is now to undo all the damage that @JamesCarville did when he coined "#Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburg with Kentucky in between"

Sounds clever. Pithy. Folksy.

Here is the problem:
a) The image crystallizes the rural-urban divide so that all the clever, worldly city folk can laugh at how backward, racist, and redneck those of us who LIVE here are.
b) It erases all the diversity of towns and landscapes that are the REAL #ruralpatchwork. Does he know that Monroe county went for Biden in 2020? That West Hazleton
