This was the DCC ballot handed out by harrity volunteers in 46th.
Every single judge recommended for retention. All the bad judges, all the republican judges, supported by the DCC.
@ViktorKagan None of this in the 46th ward. You’d think the WL who is a DCC chair would share these resources.
Month before the election there was a meeting NOT to discuss GOTV or support dems, instead it was to shit on OPC and didn’t even bother to invite our dem district councilmember
Dems & republicans in South Philly are handing out the same ballot w/none of the black or brown candidates. Where’s @PHLDems? Will Bob Brady kick them out for supporting republicans? Like he has for those who support working class champions @kendraforphilly & @NicForPhilly? 🤔
The Treasurer for South Philly Voters PAC is Mariel Joy Kornblith Martin, a Democratic committee person in the 39th Ward. For endorsing a Republican I expect @BobBradyPHL to expel her immediately.
“It’s a terrible use of energy. The committeepeople they’re targeting are doing the most outreach for statewide races,” Cea said. “There was no get-out-the-vote strategy in the ward this year. Instead we’ve been dealing with this, from the top of the party: Threats.”
"There’s probably heated discussions out there,” Philly Democratic Party Chair Bob Brady said Tuesday of the Working Families Party. “I’ll argue with them as loud as they want to argue. Is that bullying? That’s being out-shouted.” https://t.co/WnisljzM3s via @phillyinquirer
Bro has received the max contribution from GOP billionaire Jeffrey Yass who has spent millions of dollars this election to defeat progressives in philadelphia and democrat judges at the statewide level.
west is best is a republican front
Freshman city council member Quetzy Lozada says she wants to see stricter policing of homeless people in addiction in Kensington, and envisions a day where folks are either involuntarily committed to treatment or must face criminal charges. https://t.co/5PkVhXYAhi
It is arguable that the Democratic candidate is to the right of the Republican candidate on many big issues in the Philly mayor's race: the proposed 76ers arena, asking for National Guard intervention, year round school, stop and frisk https://t.co/Uk1RFXdR7D
A Philadelphia judge on Wednesday reinstated all charges — including first-degree murder — against the now-fired city police officer who fatally shot 27 year-old Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop in Kensington this summer.

This is a more common than you might think in wards across the city.
Wish journalists actually asked ward leaders (or their cps) what, if anything, each ward is doing for GOTV
in 46th i can tell you it’s NOTHING 💯
Philly’s democratic party doing everything it can to lose the state judicial races.
Wish they spent their energy focused on defeating republicans instead of kicking out good committee people and defeating working families.
But here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Riverwards Area Democrats stands behind Kate Rivera and other Democratic committee people—many of whom are RAD members—who risk removal from their positions by the Party for supporting WFP candidates indirectly through RAD’s endorsement vote.

Judicial retentions are a rare opportunity to kick judges off the bench
This Nov there are judges seeking retention who set high bail/sentences, regularly side w/ landlords against tenants in evictions, or have a pattern of dismissing charges against bad cops.
Vote them out!
While it is very rare for a judge to lose a retention vote -- it is a unique opportunity for voters to hold bad judges accountable and kick them off the courts. ⚖️
Read more about why we recommend you ❌ VOTE NO on these judges: https://t.co/MhCfBJFwDR
