"SNIP.......

Pennsylvania Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro (D) said that his Republican opponent, Doug Mastriano, has not called to concede the race after major media outlets projected his loss on Tuesday night, The Hill The Hill reports.

Said Shapiro: “I mean, who cares if he calls, right?”

He added: “He doesn’t get to pick the winner, the people pick the winner. And in a resounding way, they made clear that they wanted me to lead this commonwealth forward.”

.......SNIP"

1. The way I feel

Who gives a shit what that Nazi does. That’s the way I feel about every republican. Coming up, the call of cheating

[Freddie]

2. Insurrection Doug took etiquette lessons from the master

[GreenWave]

3. The bastard ignores democracy, so ignore him.

[COL Mustard]

11. Who?

Damn, that was easy!!!

[debm55]

20. Doug Masturbation

17. Actually, the bastard tried to overthrow democracy on 1/6.

[onecaliberal]

4. Exactly. Why do we care about that loser.

[FakeNoose]

5. Did anyone really expect Doug Mastriano to show courtesy?

I mean, it's just a courtesy call, am I right? He's incapable of doing that and his rudeness is widely known.

Josh knows it, and he has already moved on.

Something Mastriano has to live with from now on is, Josh Shapiro is HIS Governor too.

[Salviati]

8. At least that's something oz doesn't have to live with.

Fetterman isn't his Senator...

[The Jungle 1]

16. Ok so I am stealing that. Just so you know.

[COL Mustard]

12. Mastriano could move

I’m sure DeSatan could find a Cabinet post for him or something.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. He was born, raised, lived and voted (and was still registered until recently) in Jersey

So he can hitch a ride with Oz and head on back over to the other side of the Delaware River!

Doug Mastriano Was Registered to Vote in New Jersey Until … Last Year

The MAGA diehard is only the latest high-profile Republican running for office in Pennsylvania with deep roots elsewhere

September 16, 2022


Doug Mastriano — the Trump-loving, Confederate garb-wearing, unhinged-religious-prophet-affiliating Republican gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania — was registered to vote in New Jersey until 2021, the New Jersey Globe reported on Friday.

Mastriano, who was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and raised in Highstown, New Jersey, voted in the latter town for nearly 30 years — from 1982 up until 2010. The New Jersey Globe notes that Mastriano never informed Mercer County, New Jersey, that he moved from the state, and continued to receive sample ballots until his mother died last January. Mastriano has been registered to vote in Pennsylvania since 2012, and there is no indication he voted in both states simultaneously.

One would think Mastriano would be a little more fastidious about his voting status, as he has long alleged without evidence that the 2020 election was rigged against Trump, and that fraud was rife throughout Pennsylvania. He’s said that if elected he would push to make everyone in the state re-register to vote, which many have argued would be a violation of federal law. “There’s still a lot of dead on the rolls, and what have you, and there’s ghost phantom voters that we found, as well, at various addresses,” he told Newsmax earlier this year. “So we’re going to take that very seriously and move really hard. Basically we have about a year to get that right before the 2024 presidential election.”

No matter where I have traveled around the U.S. or the world, there is ALWAYS someone from Jersey there!

6. Excellent response.. ".. the People pick

the winner.."!!

[3825-87867]

7. Who Cares?

And on top of it all, Oz got more votes than Mastiano! Let that sink in, nazi!

[BigmanPigman]

9. No surprise here.

Did tRump ever call Biden to congratulate him? Nope!

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/15/trump-admits-biden-won-falsely-claims-election-was-rigged.html

"President Donald Trump acknowledged publicly for the first time that President-elect Joe Biden won the election, more than seven days after media outlets including NBC News called the race for Biden."

"The president’s comments, made in a seemingly offhand post on social media, come as his campaign continues to challenge the results of the election in court and as his administration is holding up the formal transition processes."

"Shortly after writing that Biden had won, though, Trump wrote in another post that he would not concede and claimed that “WE WILL WIN!”

10. That is the problem I have with so many Republicans getting asked

if they would concede. If they lose, it doesn’t matter whether or not they concede—they’re not getting sworn in. Maybe the question reporters should have been asking is whether they planned to call for armed insurrection if the vote didn’t go their way.

[calimary]

13. I actually like that idea.

Hang it around their miserable necks like the millstone it was born to be!

[LiberalBrooke]

14. Me too: I wish they would stop asking that question.

[uponit7771]

24. +1,

[flying_wahini]

34. Good idea

[Mr. Ected]

15. Concession speeches are for gentlemen/women

We should continue to make them because we are equitable and fair and we cherish democracy.

Ugly Americans are also Americans but they embarrass the dignified.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

18. Josh Shapiro just destroyed Doug Mastriano. Again

[Rebl2]

19. Doug Mastriano

just following the lead of tfg. He never conceded either. I am sure that is how many of tfg politicians act. Never concede. They think it makes them look weak. What they don’t get is it make’s them look weak when they DON’T concede.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

22. Perfect answer.

Rs not conceding is proof of a poor loser. Nothing of consequence, since Rs are all poor lossrs, now. Whiney little Big-Liars.

[The Grand Illuminist]

23. Mastriano and the rest of the Republicans are NOT our fellow americans.

They are only Americans by default because they were born here. They are nothing but animals and should be treated as such. If they get robbed at gunpoint, I cheer for the robber. If they are trapped in a fire, I won't dignify them by calling the fire dept. If they were in a car accident, I drive away. That is the definitive attitude that should be. Deny them absolute.

[Johnny2X2X]

25. The concession speech is really important in the US right now

It's become the cornerstone of our Democracy. Passions are high, people are thinking each election is the end of the country, seeing the losing candidates give sincere concession speeches dials the heat down from 10 to 5 and ensures our democracy continues.

Al Gore's concession speech helped heal the country. John McCain's concession speech to Obama was very well done and healing. Now, more than ever, we need that. This matters. All it takes is one election to throw half the country into chaos, as we've seen.

[Tommymac]

26. Thanks for this.

Opened my eyes to what should have been obvious to me...

and would have been pre 2016.

Oh my how the last 6 years have changed me. Both good and not so good.

[Paladin]

27. Yeah---as if Mastriano is capable of a peaceful, healing statement.

Keeping his filthy mouth shut is the maximum good deed he can manage. Suits me fine.

[Johnny2X2X]

30. Here in MI

We had some of the most extremists in the country running for the GOP. Each one of them conceded to my knowledge, including Tudor Dixon. It matters. It shuts down the online conspiracy theories. It makes supporters change their tone from "violently overthrowing" the government, to "Well, we still probably got cheated, but what can we do better next time."

The damage Trump did and is doing because he never conceded, because he never gave that speech, is immense. He was our President, what he says matters. Because of him, about 25% of the country believes total fantasies about our election system. It's weakened our Democracy tremendously.

[Paladin]

31. Hey, I'm a long-time Texan. Our Republicans don't do the right thing.

I think it's part of some oath they swear to. (Probably not---they're no good at keeping promises, either.)

And with all due respect, trump doing a nice concession speech wouldn't lift this country out of the toilet into which he dragged it. Not even close. It would just be considered another lie.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Ouch!!!!!

That's going to leave a mark.

[Botany]

29. Said Shapiro: "I mean, who cares if he calls, right?"

[subterranean]

32. Update: He conceded.

Not sure if he called Gov.-elect Shapiro (and who cares?), but he issued a statement on Sunday conceding his defeat.
