Bob Brady keeps asking the question. If the Working Families Party wants voters to support its two candidates for Philadelphia City Council at-large, which Democrats get cut on the ballot?
But here’s the thing: The Working Families Party says the text was clearly fabricated. For one thing, it shows a conversation between two iPhone users, but WFP volunteers send texts from a computer program. That means green texts, folks. Not blue ones.
“We are asking Philadelphians to vote first for the WFP candidates and then any three Democrats they like,” said, a spokesperson for Brooks and O’Rourke’s campaigns. “Our preferred outcome is Kendra and Nicolas working alongside all five Democratic endorsed candidates next year.”Harrity lamented that Shapiro and Fetterman don’t fall under the local or state bylaws for party officials, which bar supporting a third-party candidate in the general election.
“I think that’s a cop-out,” said Harrity, who worked to elect Shapiro and Fetterman. “But it’s their decision.” Ahmad said the progressive third party should work for recognition by the state, like the Green Party and Libertarian Party have in the past, and then focus their efforts in Republican-controlled parts of the state where liberal policies are less popular.
“What they’re doing now is poaching,” she said. “We already have good, progressive people in the city. Why are they angling for this? To me, it’s easy pickings. It’s a lazy approach.”
