Because he’s a republican sleeper.
He’s got that enlarged amygdala look and vibe for sure.
The left thought he was one of us because he talks shit about Trump and wears a hoodie. The fact that’s all it took should be enough for deep reevaluation of who we’re choosing to represent us.
Mamdani is the same. People said he was a socialist and he didn’t argue because he wanted votes. Then he raids homeless camps and slashes library funding.
Humans are idiots
It's horribe what brain damage can do to people and their personality.
He didn’t change, he was always that way.
Well, maybe he's always had some brain damage?
Well, that’s probable.
He wasn't a sleeper, this is who he has always been. But since he had that D next to his name Democrats had no problem putting him into office. They overlooked everything just so it would be their team in place
It's funny to me. I know an older guy (early 60s) from PA who's a lefty, very liberal. I remember him being so happy when Fetterman got elected. He said he was ecstatic he had a senator he thought he could share a beer with. He's incredibly disappointed in him now. Just today he said how he would gladly vote for Newsom if he's the nominee in '28. We're so cooked.
They never learn
Why does everyone wanna drink with these guys
I mean his competition was the fraudulent Dr... Also prior to his stroke he was aligned more as a progressive. Strokes mess up the brain.
alleged stroke
He was trash before his stroke
This is a BS excuse of certain democrats who refuse to admit they screwed up.
Even Bernie was supporting fetterman. If you think "Dr." Oz was better choice I got some fake pills to sell you.
Lol. Bernie Sanders is not some God. Maybe if the Democratic party actually floated real candidates instead of APAIC troglodytes, people would have voted for someone else.
At any rate, his "brain damage" was not the issue. The issue was that the democrats got conned. And that's really not a big deal to be honest. We all make mistakes. But not owning it is so lame.
I didn't say Bernie was a god. He's just one of the best we got. Dudes not a corporate sellout and has stood publicly with his beliefs instead of lying to get votes time and time again.
There should be reprucussions for lying / swapping parties if you don't do what you were voted to do, another vote should be held to fill in that party's representative for the rest of the term.
With regards to repercussions, I agree. It would be nice if there was a way to recall senators for blatantly lying to the public.
Follow-up: I found a sample ballot from fetterman's senate election. There wasn't really a stand-out candidate in that race. Richard Weiss seems to be the most moral, but not perfect. I can't fault the voters given their material conditions.
Never trust someone from York County
I'm not very familiar with that election. Who was the best candidate? Richard Weiss?
