This is the best summary I could come up with:


Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) panned Democrats who are upping their criticisms of President Biden ahead of the November election, saying they might as well don a “MAGA hat.”

Fetterman noted during an interview an uptick in Democrats who have become more critical of Biden lately, and said it’s only helping former President Trump.

But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat, because you now are helping Trump with this.”

He also told longtime political strategist James Carville to “shut the f‑‑‑ up’ after the ex-Clinton aide said that Trump could dethrone Biden in the general election.

Carville also noted that concerns about Biden’s age are a very real thing for voters amid his polling swoon.

Fetterman also projected confidence that Biden will win in Pennsylvania, which he carried in the 2020 contest, and that it will buoy him to a second term in office.


The original article contains 289 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 44%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

no. its that a tacit non-democratic vote is a vote for fascism. while true, doesnt mean we cant blame the DNC and Biden for refusing to run a defend-able candidate.

Fuck the DNC and how they shit all over america, putting us in this position.

if you dont hold your nose and vote non-trump, those 3rd parties will never get a chance again. at the very least the DNC do pretend democracy. trump isnt even pretending democracy anymore.

so yeah, vote those 3rd parties one last time.

Splitting the Dem vote with third parties is a good way to get Trump elected. So it’s a sideways way of voting for extreme fascism.

You could go ahead and blame boomer generation for putting us in such a bad position. All of that can be traced back to them. Newer generation needs to vote out GOP, and then when GOP dies out, vote for progressive party, and ignore the whims of the boomer generation.

Democracy! No longer allowed to question or criticize our politicians.

That’s a dishonest way to look at what he said. An honest one would be that he has just as much right to criticize Democrats offering aid to Trump as the Democrats offering aid to Trump have a right to criticize Biden.

Biden: [Does things]
Anti-Biden Democrats: [He shouldn’t be doing that.]
Fetterman: [They shouldn’t be doing that.]
You: [Fetterman is anti-democracy and pro-censorship.]

This is just pure clownishness.

Context is key, and you’ve broken down the situation to the point of absurdity.

It should be news when someone calls himself progressive for years and as soon as he gets to congress he starts ranting about how much it pisses him off everyone thinks he’s progressive.

Asshole pulled a Sinema and the most annoying part is everyone defending him because he wears a hoodie.

I hope it’s more due to the fact that he had a stroke rather than he’s doing it intentionally. Either way he has had a complete shift in personality and its disappointing to no end that he’s not who he was when elected.

I’m not worried about Biden’s age mostly because I think this comes from the racist fear that Kamala Harris isn’t capable of running this country.

Yeah, I’ve known a couple family members who had a stroke and became better people.

Sometimes it works the other way.

Personality changes arent a rare after effect, it’s pretty common.

I think we’re worried about biden’s age less because we’re worried he’ll die in office and more because we’re worried he won’t and will keep running the country as his mind deteriorates beyond the point he should be running a bingo game.

there’s no appropriate time

Biden’s been in office for more than 3 years. But all the complaints get drummed out during election season. I wonder who’s pushing them…

I have. But it seems to have been ramping up lately. And criticisms of things in the past now are not being done for anything but to tank the election.
