Thank you for casting an informed vote regardless of party affiliation. I think it takes a bit of personal courage to do so.

It’s called strategy. It was certainly effective, and completely legal. This isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is.

I second Erie. I've been here almost ten years. There is a decent LGBTQIA community. It's not a perfect town but it ain't bad.

Yes. The extreme southern, southeast and western municipalities (South Fayette, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, South Park, Pleasant Hills, Elizabeth) in Allegheny county are pretty red. In Allegheny county it's best to be close to the city, like Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill and Lawrenceville. The furthest south I'd recommend is Mt. Lebanon. Dormont (directly north of Mt. Lebo) is pretty nice.

It was the GOP-controlled legislature that redirected $4.2 billion of our tax money from fixing our roads to the PA State Police.

So next time you hit a pothole, blame the Republicans who are responsible.

No you’re not wrong. But with the GOP gerrymandering most of those votes won’t matter.

Scratch that: it’ll take three times as many dems votes as it does GOP votes for them to win.

With taxes, I buy civilization.

I'm in a red county up against allegheny. It is pretty MAGA, but there is a good amount of progressive population. I bet some areas could be slipping blue. The county as a whole will take time.

Good place to live if you want land.

I like it out there, too. I miss all the woods. There is a lot of development and farmland where I'm at now.

Doesn't like, being "tough on crime" just mean increasing police budget though?

I like you, you're funny.

Avoid anywhere West of the Susquehanna that isnt State College or Pittsburgh.

People tend to mind their own business for the most part in PA, even in more conservative areas. Ive gone out plenty of times with my same sex partner and never felt unsafe, but I know transphobia is generally much more rampant for the most part.

Pretty much any of the cities in PA should be fine save for maybe Altoona/Johnstown. The Poconos are usually full of tourists and NY/NJ transplants so I doubt there would be any trouble there either.

That’s a fun one!

There is a lot of room in the middle there.

There are some beautiful venues around State College are. The arboretum at Penn State would be a beautiful spot too when everything is in bloom.

Go check the last time dems had any semblance of control in PA.

I'm from Leechburg, and I also lived in Gilpin Township for a little.

Pittsburgh is cool but it's a pretty steep drop off once you get outside the city.

Very recently, actually.. I grew up in Kittanning. Moved to Central Illinois back in July.

and fracking country... don't forget about the wells

Lol
