      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.

        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.

      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
