Reply to comment by GroundbreakingArt248 in This sounds crazy but as of yesterday, we are less than 5 months away from the PA primary and the winner of the mayoral race will be the 100th mayor of the city of Philadelphia. November is an afterthought. The more candidates that run, the winner may snag it with just a one percent difference. by joeltheprocess76

Philly is a one party town and has been since the late 50's. Maybe someday you'll realize that the only way to make changes is from within. The current crop of mayoral candidates is actually eclectic. I have to think that there's one candidate that checks most of your boxes. You can register D and vote for them or hope that they win in May and then you can vote for them in November when it will be uncontested.

Completely disagree with your argument that the only way to make changes is from within. Major shifts in history rarely happened from people playing nice and playing by existing rules.

It's certainly not coming from removing yourself from effectively participating in the election.
