    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

      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.

          Even Bernie was supporting fetterman. If you think “Dr.” Oz was better choice I got some fake pills to sell you.

              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.

      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.

      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.
