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!

Uhh his career before this was not in any way good. Unless you think it's cool to pull a shotgun on minorities and stalk them in your neighborhood for starters..

Liberals will seal clap the most mundane shot and think it's "progressive".

Fuck .ee. you guys can't be gone fast enough

The guy you're talking about is Chris Miyares who said of Fetterman in 2021 that had done "more good than on bad act".

But more importantly you're overlooking that that is not a policy position. It's a character flaw.

I'm not a big fan of the superhero/Rambo attitude for exactly this reason. It's dangerous and it's delusional and far more likely to get people hurt then help anyone.

But that doesn't change his policies.
