“A former campaign staffer said Professional Fascist Dick Sucker Sen. John Fetterman’s single-minded focus on sucking fascist dick came at the exclusion of the progressive positions he ran on in favor of sucking fascist dick.” FTFY

Yeah, I think the warning signs were always there, especially the whole “threating a black guy with a fucking shotgun” incident, but people hated Oz (for obvious reasons) and were super excited for a down to earth, progressive, everyday person. He has said the stroke made him more conservative, but honestly he was always kinda a rascist asshole and just used the veneer of an everday working class Philadelphian for optics imo. Even so, he’s a massive disappointment and I really hope PA can primary him in 2026 2028 for an actual progressive.

Unfortunately, we have him until 2028. Let’s hope he doesn’t have another stroke that leads him to tumble all the way across the aisle.

Philadelphian

Dude’s actually from York county and I’ve lived in this state long enough to know not to trust people from there.

I think a lot of his percieved political views during the campaign were mostly ascribed to him, and he never denied anything hoping that it’d win him the election.

Well, turned out that he, like any other candidate, will say whatever needs to be said to win.

But at least he’s not Dr Oz.

That’s the worst part of this really… the alternative was still far worse.

It’s a problem for anyone entering politics. It takes incredible resolve and character to resist selling out. He just didn’t have what it takes.

Ooor like many politicians he just put on a progressive facade for people to vote him, until he got enough influence to sell himself to the highest bidder. And AIPAC pays their prostitutes well.

Maybe that provides cover for him pulling a sinema.

Brain damage from the stroke made him a drooling idiot with a flexible knee.

Fetterman posted an opening for a new communications director on Wednesday.

Hire me. I’ll gladly issue press releases saying this brain-damaged moron wants to felate Bibi and doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else.

Title is misleading, though the article is accurate.

He shifted right on all policies, agreeing with new immigration laws and being the only Dem to affirm an election denier appointed by Trump. Israel is one small, small piece of his shift to red.
