  2. I know to never judge a book by its cover, but there was always something off about this guy.

  4. its a questionable strategy because he will be primaried in what should be a huge anti-trump year

  5. His local supporters better be holding him accountable.

    If I lied on MY resume I’d be immediately fired. We should have a recall process for federal Congressional and Presidential elected representatives.

  7. Lots of Trump same washing and Trump Whispering to decipher his lies/baffling decisions lately.

  8. This guy betrayed all of the people who pushed so hard to support him. All the people who put in time, donated money, etc. Sincerely, fuck this guy. Duplicitous coward.

  10. He’s yet another fake democrat… we’ve seen this multiple times now, they say the right shit to get elected by democrats and then show their true colors and “leave” the party during their term. It’s scuzzy bullshit

  13. Brain damage leads him there. Look at the rest of that party. All with brain damage.

  14. There was an article yesterday (I think) calling Fetterman and people like him Vichy Democrats, and damn if that isn’t spot on.

  17. They mocked him after his stroke. They used his medical issue as an attack. They are sick and any appeasement is pathetic.

  18. >He supported legalizing marijuana, wealth taxes, a $15-an-hour federal minimum wage, and Medicare for All.

    AFAIK he still supports those things. The article authors makes the same mistake some progressive voters did: if a candidate aligns with them on several issues that makes them a progressive. The Laken Riley bill he co-sponsored had majority dem support not only the ones from swing states. Fetterman votes like 90% with the dem caucus. HIs voting record and positions are unremarkable as a mainstream dem. Not sure what his Trump strategy is, perhaps he feels that ensures Trump picks up the phone when he calls but what he’s done as actual Senator is totally compatible with his candidacy.

  20. The dude had a stroke which can lead to brain damage; he spent the better part of a year in a (mental?) hospital for severe depression; he’s not right in the head anymore or is having a nervous breakdown

  24. “I’m not a progressive, I just identified myself as a regular Democrat,” Fetterman said, talking to CNN’s Dana Bash.

    This was after running very clearly as a progressive and using that label liberally during his campaign. I reckon in half a year or so we’ll get a quote about how he’s not really a Democrat, just a “realist”, and then he’ll make the full switch to Republican because the Democrats have become too extreme or whatever.

  25. Its amazing how frequently critical brain damage leads to being a conservative.

  26. Guy had literal brain damage and is now becoming a trumper

    were all shocked why ? hes going to become a hard R republican within a month or so

  29. What is he doing exactly? I heard something about a Mar a Lago visit.

  30. The worst normalization of Trump was re-electing him President.

  31. It’s crazy that the GOP managed to label the Democrats as left wing.

    There is absolutely nothing left about the dnc.

    These guys are all clowns.
    There to cash checks.
