Just switch parties already, for Christ’s sake.
That guy has been such a disappointment.
What happened to him? This is a guy who got his national profile by fighting Trump’s voter fraud lies.
literal brain damage
Discovery: Brain damage linked to transition from Democrat to Republican
Some More News had a whole episode about him a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28M_zkoAGQM
That was a great fucking episode. They broke everything down and Fetterman is a Democrat in designation only. He has some real “the south will rise again” vibes.
a Democrat In Legal Designation Only, if you will
He is getting a better offer from the republicans.
trump and the magats are on the way out. Everyone is scrambling to be the next big thing.
Literally had a stroke and lost part of his brain and became an asshole who’s a lot less empathetic. It, sadly, happens with strokes.
Odd to see someone so seemingly left of the DNC pivot to being a DINO. Have to blame corporate money for some degree of it. He’s completely lost it.
The truth always rears it’s head eventually huh. Sad, was hopeful for this guy.
Didn’t he recently have a stroke? That might have something to do with it.
He had a stroke before he was elected.
It was a few days before he was elected, and he had an operation on election day. So if he did change there wasn’t enough time for anyone to know it.
Can’t wait to put a different Democrat in his seat. What a disappointment for PA. Total loser.
Democrats are supposed to be a people who believe in redemption.
You have to want redemption first. It’s not just handed to you for breathing.
No, you’re wrong.
Evangelicals know you get infinite redemption the instant you ask for it, period.
Because Jesus is just crazy for white people.
I feel so vindicated. When he was first elected I was calling out his fake every man persona and getting downvoted to hell for it. Walking around in flip flops and a hoodie as if he wasn’t a silver spoon nepo baby. I never bought into his personality as genuine, and found all his bullshit to be a distraction from a lack of substance. Now it’s very clear he’s a silver spoon nepo baby, he’s chosen his side and it’s not with us regular folk. It’s with his wealthy buddies.
I am inclined to blame the stroke he had, as it has lots of examples of altering people’s personality’s.
No, he had said a bunch of zionist shit before he was elected that people, myself included, assumed he was simply ignorant on and would move left when confronted with the truth.
Turns out it was just wishful thinking.
The stroke probably didn’t help, and personality might account for how Fetterman expresses his support for genocide by rubbing his former supporter’s faces in it, but there’s not a “don’t genocide Palestinians” part of the brain that got turned off.
Maybe even a brain worm or two
I feel so vindicated.
I don’t.
You know why?
BECAUSE HE’S A FUCKING CAUCUS VOTE FOR COMMITTEES!!!
He votes dem, once, at the beginning of term, he can do whatever the fuck he wants otherwise.
It’s 51-49, fucking grow up, kid.
What a disappointment this guy turned out to be.
Well to be fair, brain damage can make anyone dumber.
More conservative, as well. It’s rather interesting - anecdotally my grandma’s second husband used to be a kitten loving sweetheart who wrote poetry. He got some concussions when we were tiny and he turned into the most bigoted racist sexist crude unfiltered festering asshole of a person.
Though I’ve read a few times from different sources that tends to be the case.
I was the opposite. My concussion made me leave mormonism
For Legal reasons this is a joke
Kinda funny, but I left the church after I got decompression sickness from scuba diving.
Like the suffering was so much that it convinced you there is no god?
Not the pain but the psychological and personality changes lead to it.
There is a lot more to decompression sickness than I was aware, then. I’ll have to read up a bit.
His brain is not working properly after the stroke.
That’s just an excuse. Truth is he was never on your side. He’s a rich guy’s useless kid
He had a near-death scare and changed from “for the good of the people” to “everyone for themselves” and sold out to make as much money for himself and his family as he can.
Just my theory, but shit like this can change people when it shows them their own mortality.
Someone’s not getting re-elected.
Unless Dr. Oz runs against him again.
He’s not winning the primary.
I think even Dr. Oz would have a shot there.
I think he wants a shot at the governor’s office. The Senate seems to cramp his style, and he doesn’t have the chops for national politics. He was Lt Gov, and has a significant advantage in name recognition and fundraising as a current Senator. Plus, the DNC is probably already vetting primary challengers to run against him in 2030.
PA is a weird state, in every way possible, and Shapiro did a lot of damage to his image in his attempt to land the VP job. If Shapiro decides not to run for reelection, the Democrats don’t have a deep bench in Pennsylvania. Austin Davis is probably the only other name worth considering.
Fetterman would not win anything in a nationwide race, but if he can bring the Pennsyltuckians out to vote for a Democrat, he would win the state in a landslide.
the DNC is probably already vetting primary challengers to run against him in 2030.
Why would they? What has he done to anger them? If anything, having another Sinoma/Manchin waiting in the wings gives them more excuses why they can’t do the things their constituents want them to do.
The ideal position for the democrats is controlling all 3 branches, but being unable to actually do anything their constituents want, since the desires of their constituents are mutually exclusive with those of the donor class.
him in 2030
Why that long?
That’s when he is up for reelection. Senate terms are six years. Actually it’s 2029
Fuck this guy.
Seriously. Fifteen minutes are long expired.
this guy is such a tulsi gabbard ass loser
Most of Pennsylvania is red. Pennsyltucky is a thing. It has one of the biggest KKK groups in the nation.
So my eyesbrows were raised when I saw he wasn’t from a more liberal area like Philadelphia.
Not saying they aren’t out there in PA. I’m just saying there’s a lot of folks who are backwards AF in PA.
DINO
He hasn’t even tried redemption. Hell, he hasn’t even begun to pay for his previous crimes and is looking to commit more crimes. Redemption is when people try to make things right. How can you say this is about giving second chances when all he’s done is try the same shit the second time around. What a disappointment.
This does sound like he’s got his tongue up Trump’s butthole, but he’s also not wrong. There are a lot of Trump supporters in rural Pennsylvania, and they are not swayed by the felony conviction or the racism or the dementia or the rape, because those inbred meth-heads are able to relate to Trump on a personal level.
He’s not wrong about some of what he said. He also said this about Trump being a felon-
I mean, I thought Democrats, we were the party that was all about second chances and that we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes or things in that kind of situation.
The idea that the party would give a second chance to Donald Trump when he hasn’t even been sentenced yet is insane.
he also characterized trump’s actions as “mistakes”:
we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes
I guess at 78 trump is still learning and making a few mistakes along the way
You’re right. I didn’t even think about that. What a stupid fucking thing to say.
You also need to be remorseful to deserve a second chance. Be a man and own up to your mistakes.
I do not think TFG is capable of that.
I agree with you completely about that. Honestly, it sounds like somebody who’s about to have a scandal break.
Also, this is, like, chance 15 for Trump anyway
Well if this guy keeps billing himself as a Democrat then he’s not likely to get reelected. He could get out-primaried.
This is definitely the last time he holds office. He did little other than turncoat after he had a concussion.
