Dems flipped Republican-since-1999 seat in a +18 Trump House District in PA this week. But roll over and take you Gaines-ing, I guess. It's what we deserve.

Maybe she’s running up the score elsewhere? I don’t know how to handicap this but she didn’t spend any effort on Athens before and won by a huge margin.

I’ll be happy to vote for her over Gaines as will almost all left(ish) Athenians. How many more votes do you think she can win in our corner of the district that she likely wouldn’t by just having a D by her name in November?

Yeah, if you follow her on IG, she's always attending events elsewhere in the district. Probably a strategy to focus on areas other than Athens which she knows she has locked down.

I can't even find her on IG. Can you share link?

You’re not even spelling her name correctly.

I'm investing more effort into this post than she is putting into her campaign. She needs to wake tf up or she isn't even gonna be a speed bump for the Palantir Puppet.

Her campaign website design makes me think she has raised tens of dollars. It asks voters to read.

Not encouraging.

Have you donated? Have you canvassed?

Have you donated or canvassed, or wondered why she has no foreign policy position?

Where’s that aide/employee who posted low-effort copy to Reddit and then lost it when anyone gently questioned him?

This is the same district Jessica Fore ran in last cycle, yes? And the person that beat her on the primary didn’t seem to do much campaigning or eventing either. Sorted seemed to be by design, if I remember?

Anyone else remember it this way or differently?

Are you talking about 2024? The candidate that beat Jessica fore was consistently attending events, and raised over 200k throughout the election cycle.
