The only bit of campaign literature that came through our door was from Shake It Up
Greens let me down on this street. If the wave doesn't happen here it's because of simple shit like that.
Shake It Up just had somebody go round and put flyers through doors in this building, I bet they get results because of it.

Hate to say it guys, but Shake It Up were the only ones to campaign on this street and I was thinking of giving one vote to them for effort....

On Tuesday, Larry Krasner easily won the Democratic primary ahead of a November election that could see him win a third term as district attorney of Philadelphia. @bolts’s @taniel writes about Krasner’s role as one of a number of progressive prosecutors across the United States, the opposition he faced from everyone from Elon Musk to the city’s Democratic Party, and why he continues to be supported across Philadelphia.
