Watching the libs try to distance themselves from the Fetterman implosion is both hilarious and maddening (hexbear.net)

There's no analysis of how this keeps happening to their party. People run as progressives [citation needed] and then do the same thing every single dem does once they get elected, and there's never any vetting ahead of time. It's always in hindsight that they put the pieces together, but the conclusion is always that they're a secret Republican. Couldn't possibly be that the two parties agree on everything that matters.

Can't wait for the next one they try to push!

would he have been less bad?

For non-republicans psychologically? I think the answer is yes. Everybody would have expected him to be absolute total garbage. Nobody would use the word "disappointing".

In actuality? I think he would have been worse. But maybe not by that much.

I do think it's better for Fetterman to have won, anything that leads us closer to more and more libs distrusting the Dems and leads us closer to Dems inevitably not winning another election again is good. After Gaza, they deserve to completely collapse as a party.

Granted, they deserved it over a hundred years ago but it's now ridiculously overdue and well-deserved.

This is the real argument for voting for Democrats.

Real accelerationists voted for Biden in 2024.
