I mean you basically left the left the moment you had a stroke.

    He was never with the left. He succeeded where Platner failed: using the desperation for left wing politics to advance right wing causes

    He only ever appeared left because he hired a bunch of young people to run his campaign.

    As soon as he was elected he stopped appearing to be progressive because he either fired his election staff or they quit when they realized who he really was.

    Before he was a senator he was a mayor of a small town in the middle of PA and held a black man at gunpoint because the man was going for a run in the town he was mayor of.

    He's always been a piece of shit.

    No need to rewrite history to fit the current narrative: as mayor, he was rather left leaning, even though he used questionable tactics. The problem is when you go to Washington, a lot more money is involved. He's just easy to corrupt.

    this is why there needs to be a recall mechanism for congress and senators. Dude ran as a Democrat and is now saying "haha, Ima go be a republican now" and all the people who voted for him can do nothing for 6 fucking years.

    Our representatives should be afraid when they don't represent us. Organize and give public servants reasons to resign when they betray their electorate. And if they don't like that, they can make a law that allows for recalls. Not sure if there are many other ways to get that law passed

    The chances of Dems adopting such a stance are approximately 0. All Fetterman is doing here is proudly proclaiming who he works for.

    It’s a shame PA doesn’t allow recall elections for elected officials, and I sincerely hope Pennsylvanians tell Fett to fuck off to Tel Aviv in the ‘28 election.

    Because he was already a shitbags before his stroke. The stroke just made it harder for him to hide his power level.

    Fetterman was just a rich kid who's daddy's money has backed his entire career. His dad is the owner and CEO of an insurance company and is a long time big Republican donor. Fettermans entire career has been faking blue collar credentials while being an asshole contrarian.

    When he was mayor he raised prices for locals by turning his town into a vacation town for his rich friends. He also held a random black jogger at gun point because he suspected him of doing a crime. His constituents and coworkers hated him.

    As Lt governor he barely showed up to work and missed one third of the mandatory state Senate sessions he was supposed to oversee. The guy has always been a lazy asshole, the stroke just made it come to the surface.

    The only way the Democratic party can survive is by listening to its voters, and the voters say no to supporting zionism. Giffords is a zionist, as is her Husband Mark Kelly, no better than shitbag Fetterman. In my book they are each conservatives pretending to be dems.

    So his threat is basically that he'll likely ruin his chances of holding office ever again if the party doesn't do what he wants? What a weird flex.

    He’s currently polling at ~19% approval among Pennsylvania democrats, but ~80% with republicans. So if he sticks with democrat party, he has basically no chance of getting reelected. But republicans tend to do a little better in Pennsylvania (or at least, they used to, but Donny’s current term may have changed that,) so he could have a shot at winning reelection if he switches to Republican. Especially since Republicans love “I used to be a Democrat then I got some common sense” types of stories. He could ham it up for republican voters, and would likely do pretty well if he could convince them he has truly switched sides.

    to add to this;

    The Israel lobby (AIPAC) is funneling Billions of American Tax funds (and European probably as well) to Zionist Conquest Doctrine. These are funds that were/are already being mismanaged through political grifts and corruption, so the fact that it's going toward a repugnant and quite frankly frivolous war of aggression, that is not only threatening to bankrupt not just America but collapse the entire world economic order, I feel it might be a bit of a solid stance to be in opposition to shitheads that support Israel's actions right now.

    If polling is anything to go by, the vast majority are rabid fascists. But you are technically correct, there is a minority.

    You always have to ask who controls the polls, and how afraid are people to tell the truth. We've seen it here in the states. Polling orgs have stopped, changed metrics, or done selective polling when they are controlled by the fascists. Even small things like question verbiage can change a decisive "we hate this guy" into a "opinions are mixed".

    Haaretz poll from a year ago shows 82% of Israelis are in favor of ethnically cleansing Gaza. And check out this verbiage:

    Nearly half (47 percent) of respondents agreed that "when conquering an enemy city, the Israel Defense Forces should act as the Israelites did in Jericho under Joshua's command – killing all its inhabitants."

    There's a client at my job who is for the most part pretty nice. however his two sons and daughter are in the Israeli military and have volunteered specifically to be infantry and he goes on about it all the time.

    You know what Fetter reminds me of?

    One of those con artists white men from a up north area.

    Like I have an example.

    I had this friend back in high-school. His dad's name was Gerald. He was a 6 ft 5 350lbs guy who was a con man. He wore different kinds of beret hats and had thin glasses with a extended goatee. His words were slick and his tongue was quick. He drove a decommissioned Lincoln under cover police cruiser and never stayed at one job.

    He was the type to steal 10g from laundry vending machines and word in a way that his son did some of the time for him.

    This man conned his son outta $1,000 by saying it was for presents for his brother only to find out that he and his wife spent it on crack.

    Fettermen reminds me of that man if he had gotten into politics. A con artists white man whose a piece of shit but acts like he's the salt of the earth.

    Cunt.

    Also Gerald was from Philly.

    Who cares, he votes for the Republican talking points most of the time anyway. Grow a spine already and make it official.

    What he wants is the party to cross the made up line he has drawn in the sand so he can switch affiliation “guilt free” and be able to say “ look they made me do it” when pressed about it.
