    Dude's had multiple strokes; his own staffer notes his change in disposition

    Prior to his Nov. 13 [stroke], Fetterman experienced a stroke while on the campaign trail in May 2022, and in May of that year shared that he had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, which affects the two upper chambers of the heart. Ventricular fibrillation, the condition his spokesperson referred to after Fetterman's most recent hospital stay, affects the two lower chambers.

    In February 2023, Fetterman was hospitalized overnight for lightheadedness. At the time, his spokesperson said, "Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke, but doctors are running more tests and John is remaining overnight for observation."

    Just weeks after he was admitted to the hospital in February, Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for clinical depression.

    “Part of the tragedy here is that this is a man who could be leading Democrats out of the wilderness,” Jentleson said. “But I also think he’s struggling in a way that shouldn’t be hidden from the public.”

    Thanks to the ignorant cunts who ignore primaries thinking they don't matter.

    When that happens your November choice is between whoever got through the primary or the MAGAt, so people sit it out and bitch about their choices.

    If enough progressives actually got involved rather than whining about things they could make huge gains and reshape the pathetic Democrats, alas, it's easier to whine on the internet then go pay attention in the summer and stand in line to vote.

    Voters have helped train the party that they can be horrible politicians that are never held accountable because voters will keep coming back. And every election they get slightly worse, because there is no accountability. Our current political landscape is the fault of the VBNMW crowd that's allowed it to happen, including getting trump elected.

    New York, and now Michigan, and I'm sure others will follow suite electing more progressive candidates because suddenly people are realizing primaries matter. Pointing backwards and shouting at the past isn't going to get all those fucking pedophiles out of office.

    BE salty, but put that anger toward something useful, like helping a non establishment candidate win in a primary.

    It doesn't matter of Democrats are the majority or minority party if they do nothing to benefit the working class. You voted for what you didn't want in office and got it anyway.

    I'm guessing you either did the same, or didn't vote.

    I'd rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don't want, and get it.

    So you didn't get what you wanted either. Maybe your arsenal of non participation will yield different results now that the fascists are full blown set on cementing their power. Keep up the good non work!
