    Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, and now Fettermann. - All Democrats in name only who are really Republican plants.

    What do Democrats have as alternatives? Liz “fucking” Cheny and Adam Kinzinger??? Marjorie Taylor Greene???

    😞

      No, Manchin is very different from Sinema and Fetterman.

      There was no chance of a progressive, or really even a democrat in Manchin’s seat. Manchin never really changed what he was.

      Sinema ran as a progressive and then went mask off. Similarly for Fetterman, just a slightly different cause.

        Fetterman ran as someone that actually lived in PA and as not Mehmet Oz. Anything more than that was voters projecting what they wanted to see. Previously Fetterman was a known bully and dumbass in the PA offices he held. Which wasn’t a problem when he was bullying up against Oz. People saw that and hoped he’d be a fighter for them. Best he could do was fight against them though.

      People like Fetterman and Sinema prove that the Democratic party is controlled opposition at this point. When GOP congress critters go against their party platform they get kicked the fuck out. Their leadership tears into them and turns the base against them.

      The Democratic party leadership is bullshitting us. They use token dissenters to get out of taking a stand. Schumer and Jeffries and Ken Martin are allowing the fascists to run the show with no pushback.

      We got Massie too, kinda, only so far as the Epstein stuff. He’d otherwise watch you suffer and die from a preventable healthcare issue while big corpo buys up every last inch of country.

      So I like kinzinger better than manchin, sinema, and fetterman for one reason. He strikes me as more honest. Let’s be clear given a choice between kinzinger, mancgin/sinema/any of them, or a random person/feral cat, I’d vote for the feral cat.
