no, I totally get it. continuing to keep this story in the spotlight maybe means that we won't get fooled again. then again - Platner. I don't get what's with the "we really like the lazy dudebro over the competent Democrat" thing that people do.

Apparently he had the same issue when he was doing local politics: Barely showed up for the job. Stuck around for the benefits. Would get pissy when someone forced him to do what he's paid for. He's leaning Republican now because MAGA Mike gives them endless holidays.

The fact that there's no recall elections for senators is another major failure of our political system. There's just no way to hold people like this accountable in this country and he knows it.

Yes, sadly, we know now. On behalf of the good people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for 5,930th time, our sincere apologies.

I think it's time to accept his stroke is not a valid excuse for his behavior and he just lied on the campaign trail. As look, I've known multiple people who've had strokes, and while it affected their ability to function, it didn't do a thing to significantly change their personality outside that.

This is what’s so bizarre about this guy. He’s not just a centrist or conservative Democrat. That’s what Joe Manchin was. But Manchin clearly had things he wanted and could be negotiated with. Fetterman’s only goal appears to be trolling his own voters. It makes no sense.

Oh honey, I live in a Black neighborhood (15208, represent!), went to a predominantly Black high school & graduated from an HBCU. My parents are creole on one side & geechee on the other. Lol, I'm blackity blackity Black!

He drove 6 hours to visit his friends grave (died in 1991) on his sons birthday and didn’t tell his wife. This was in the inquirer a few years ago. He is absolutely crazy af

The GOP/MAGA are very good at politics. They do opposition research and help push the worst Democrat in the primaries, hoping to be able to defeat them or use their incompetence.

Fascists are never popular which is why fascism relies on intimidation for control. Just ask Netanyahu. bsky.app/profile/wsj....

Tried to read WSJ story. Blocked because I'm not a subscriber. But others have headlined his unfitness. Probably Never was to begin with. Another MAGA in a hoodie and tats. RESIGN, PA Mitch!

The WSJ piece exposes the Dems' structural failure: an establishment blind to reality, relying on outdated dogma while alienating working-class voters. Fetterman's isolation proves they can’t build a coherent opposition—trapped between elite technocracy and populist mimicry without a vision.

He knows how long he has in the office, and he knows he has a career afterwards as the pet "Democrat" for any reich-wing news channel that wants one that day. Why would he put in any extra effort?

Fetterman is Mobster Trump without the weird hair & orange skin & army on Nazis. What a truly horrible asshole. And most certainly, Fetterman will soon officially join the worst, most evil group of scumbags on Earth: the Republican Party. He fits the profile.

Hey, at least he’s bought it to be an absolute piece of fucking shit like the whole right side of the aisle. Morally bankrupt fuckfaces who deserve the punishment of traitors

She’s always been an ‘access’ journalist just like Haberman and Galloway is one step away from being a self-help book guy. You can’t trust them when it comes to anything resembling a judgement call.

I know not everyone from a wealthy, all-Republican family who is pro-working class is cosplaying crud. But if someone like that presents themselves as working class but isn't: Cosplaying crud. The way he treated disabled constituents who came all that way to see him is obscene.

John Fetterman is an embarrassment to his constituents, his colleagues, the institution of the US Senate and worst of all, he's an embarrassment to his family. What an absolute mess.

All of this seems like consequences of his Stroke during the campaign. The personality changes, the dismissal of social norms, the loss of common sense…it’s really bad. It’s basically a Mitch McConnell situation but he’s still in public. We need to talk to his wife. What has she seen & is she safe?

In fairness, this came from a Republican rag, and it's about a Democrat. I want to believe everything in this article, but that's the problem. Democrats should get honest and do a thorough self-assessment. If they knew what their principles were, creeps like Fetterman couldn't slide in so easily.

Nobody symbolizes the utter failure and uselessness of both the National Democratic Party and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party better than Fetterman. Everybody got caught up in the Phony Working Class Slob persona. In 2028, that seat goes GOP. And we laugh at MAGA? Nice going PA Dems.

Clinton ended Welfare, which led to an increase in poverty. He also pushed for Nafta, which led to people losing jobs in the midwest. Obama allowed banks to foreclose on working people's homes with dubious legality. It's not correct that Dems have always wanted to help people. I wish it were.

Nothing can be done about him. Can’t be recalled, so he gets to stay and be Sinema-lite until ‘28. If the Democrats don’t primary the piece of dogshit into the core of the Earth, I think they should just give up.
