It’s hard to tell what people’s motives are. If you’re really a regular independent person who’s furious about the hit and run and starts downvoting people, OK.

But it just feels as if the volume of anti-DeGise posts, and the mass downvoting of anyone with a slightly different perspective, are too high to be natural.

The county is doing all sorts of terrible things. It’s letting the state, Brian Stack and Paul Fireman pave over and ruin Liberty State Park, for example. And it’s crushing High Tech. But all we hear about is the hit and run, never anything about the bad things the county and state are doing. Probably because the Republicans running the organized anti-DeGise campaign are best friends with Fireman.
