Too many candidates splitting the vote is exactly how Krasner got elected.

Didn't help the Republicans ran a candidate with a page titled "About the dead girl in my apartment"

Idk what this says about me but I still voted for Peruto, one of the few Republicans I've ever voted for. A couple of days before voting I watched an interview with Krasner where he was asked how he felt about a specific homicide, and his response was something like "crime prevention is important, but what I really want to focus on is the great strides we are making with regards to reform" and just started rambling about that. It was at that moment he lost me, as despite his occasional televised "emotional" pleas, that showed me who he really is and how little he cares about anyone/anything beyond his agenda... which is NOT public safety.

We need to vote him out. His refusal so fail prosecute violent criminals like the mentally ill lady punching/attacking random women in the City is not ok.

Prisons and hard line policing are not the solution to crime. If they were USA would be safest country in the world

It is EASY to say this when you haven't been the victim of a heinous unprovoked crime. I have been assaulted in the El. My neighbors have been burglarized. My neighborhood's ATM is bombed repeatedly. Try raising children in that environment. I say throw all the VIOLENT low life criminals in jail - and ban guns permanently - (this will never happen).

I am literally born and raised Philadelphian. And yes I have been robbed multiple times. Locking everyone up perpetuates the problems we both experience. Raising the minimum wage would go further to reduce crime than any tough DA would

That I agree with you 100 percent. Minimum wage and high quality education and free extracurricular activities for all youth. That being said, anyone reckless enough to bomb an ATM in a residential neighborhood or randomly shoot or harm innocent people needs to suffer consequences. It is not ok to hurt people.

We need ranked choice voting

We need to be united behind a Republican who would support that if necessary
