They did not flip 3 house votes. They flipped the house, the three votes turned out as expected. They had already elected Democrats, but one died and two were elected to other offices. This is all in the link, but the title is misleading.

Charter schools are an abomination. They completely ruined Philly

Not recently enough.

Connellsville is my hometown; It’s been a depressing couple days to say the least.

Legalize it

So happy. Thank you, Allegheny County voters! And PA voters in general!

True, but I'm only speaking about the educational divide, and educated voters are more reliable than uneducated voters.

I once read a negative review for a fast food restaurant because they’d “gone woke” for the exact kind of toilet arrangement you described. The reviewer taught 3rd grade.

Doesn't look like it worked for the guy above you.

Define in your own words what a socialist is, and what socialism is...

Thanks for proving my point. Y'all have a problem. Government and the 1% coming in to take our freedom and yall sit there.

Got forbid they ban alcohol tho. That would be the end of the world. As once proved in the 30s

Bro. You got this.

Make a small plan, that's all you need. If you have a vehicle and apply for a summer job somewhere, figure out how much it costs to get you there, save best ya can and make it happen.

If you don't have a vehicle yet then that's step #1. Learn money things like financing costs and what you can afford in a month if you work x/hrs and make $y/hr. If your credit sucks, that's the new step #1. If you don't have kids or a mortgage then you're already ahead of the people who dream of doing this but are kind of stuck.

If you break it down to "I need to start working on my credit so I can buy a car and leave this place in 6 months" then you have a real goal you can break down into how much money you have to make to make it happen.

While you're putting this plan to action, start reading about the hundreds of seasonal jobs you can scoop up, pick a few and fire off some applications. If you want housing included, focus on resorts/cruises.

It will take some time to establish yourself at a spot you love. Just work hard and you'll either get full time, year round employment or be invited back next season.

Before you know it you'll be able to breathe again.

This is a pretty big victory. While the GoP controlled state senate will still make it difficult to pass things, the democratic controlled state house will ensure that "sneaky" ballot questions won't make their way on the ballot during off-year primary election cycles.

Yay!

I'm GOP registered since 1990 and voted mostly D in the last cycle, incluing Biden.

Thanks for the downvotes, I guess. I'm willing to discuss where and why I diverge from the GOP (and have here before).

But - fuck the GOP is an easy way to get upvotes here with NO comments.

Maybe another prohibition will happen in the 2030's, and we can bring back bootlegging, speak easy's, the mafia.

Then I'm confused what is changing. Because don't they already have this mandate that is being ignored, which is why we are in this current state?
