He's still the better choice between him and Oz. Mostly because Fetterman basically hasn't done anything. He's not even really shown up to any of the things he was meant to. Oz would have actually done the job, which would have been worse.
That Democrats have allowed Fetterman, and Manchin before him, to stay in the party is so deeply pathetic. What a loser organization to trade non-stop embarrassment for one seat/vote that is functionally useless.
Trump promised every adult American $5000 (which is $1.35 trillion) if the Republicans keep the House AND the Senate. Which is virtually impossible, but could be enough motivation to get enough troglodytes to vote and keep the Senate Republican, thus giving Trump what he wants while not meeting the criteria he put forth to pay anything out. Not that he would ever pay out that money regardless. He already promised $2k payments from tariffs.
Yeah that's the sad part. There's almost no self-reflection, little openness to different views, little acceptance of the grey areas of life. Which is ironic for a community positioning itself as anti-everything MAGA stands for. My view is that it is a mirror image of MAGA - just as unaccepting of differences, with black-and-white interpretations of reality, thinking that since they are the good guys then anyone who disagrees must be bad.
Why? You elected him. I would protest to let him stay if this was my country. Just because you don't like what he has become, is not grounds for firing him. I guess your country doesn't support swapping parties while in office? That would be the best option..
you got elected to represent a specific party, if you dont do that anymore you resign and then try your luck getting voted in by the party you now represent. You represent people, not yourself.
He just wants to be seen as the outside candidate. He was for democrats when republicans had power. Now the republicans are unpopular, he wants to be on their side. He has no compass or stances.

F*ck that DINO!

DINO.

Surprise to whom?
IDoNotWantAnAccount
The system for holding elected officials accountable for their actions (or inactions) is broken by design.
Targe0
Because it's the Senates job to police all federal workers.
The problem is, that requires the Senate to do its job.
LitterBoxKing
In hindsight, there was no Dem in the Oz-Fetterman race.

Dawg and he acts surprised that Dems for some reason don't like him. What a jackass.

Apparently people didn't know (or care) that Fetterman was ALWAYS a POS.
Targe0
Oh they knew, but it was him or Dr. Oz.
They didn't have any other options.

Surprise to....who, exactly?
bourbonandbaddecisions
Can’t even be bothered to wear a suit?
Targe0
Oh no, he can.
But he only does it from members of the Israeli Government.
Doesn't do it for anyone in the American Government.

Waiting for that second stroke.
Targe0
Statistically if you have one stroke then your odds of having another ones shoot up dramatically.
Solski
He's been gulping down big macs like tic tacs, he's not been helping his chances.
gandalfgandalf
'member when Imgur was totally in love with Fetterman?
vindik8or
I do. I also remember getting ratio'd for questioning it. This also happened with Musk.

The only surprise is that he is now openly admitting he's GOP.

I wonder how much the GOP is paying him to be a traitor to his own party.

myfriendkaroshi
He lies and says he's a democrat, can't find Fetterman
johnvilnis
So how many Dems of any stripe will continue to support him?
He’s a Dino; Democrat in name only but red inside.
Targe0
Till someone is willing to run against him.
But that can't happen till he's up for re-election.
thornedrose27
Traitor.
alexw04
Another DINO.... Sinema and Manchin and who else... all the fucking same, they turn their backs on the very people who elected them.
NotThatPrivate
So was he a lying piece of shit the whole time, or did the stroke ruin his brain enough to make him conservative?
mygodhasabiggerdick
There are documented studies that post-stroke individuals end up being angry and conservative.
SirButcher
The first one. He was terrible before his stroke, but the stroke made his mask slip.
thedarkcanuck
And everyone bought his act anyways
RetrogradeLlama
PA Dems need to launch a major, non-stop, endless pressure campaign to get him to resign. 2028 is too far away to wait.
timGiraffeBeast
Do they not do recalls in PA?
hotaru251
funny thing is....we have laws that can get them removed if they flip sides while in their elected position....the people just have to invoke that....
JustDumbCommentsAndCorrections
If he was willing to listen to his constituents, there'd be less of a problem in the first place
monkeyfly
Republicans don't care about the will of their constituents.

Hey, just really quick. You don’t have to make excuses for people who defend pedophiles.
His conduct would get him fired from a 7-11.

its weird to have a political system where you can take your seat hostage.

And you can just declare yourself a member of a party and there's nothing they can do

He’s the guy at the bar that poorly plays devils advocate every argument
SerialChickenLover
He’s the guy who speaks his mind and calls it playing devil’s advocate. Because he’s evil.
stabbermcshooty
Probably a better way of explaining what I meant. Thanks
BarryTheCyborg
There's always the high kinetic option
wadatahmydamie
Careful, it might damage his brain and make him even more conservative
