Yeah no shit, we all know that the stroke turned you into an evil forest gump
Yeah, and I’m no longer rooting against strokes.
Democrats need to address their defector problem. I can’t imagine PA Democrats feeling more energized to vote Democrat again if this is what they get. Same for AZ and WV.
Why? It’s not like we have a choice. Blue no matter who, yay.
Millions of dems who voted biden didn’t bother showing up this time, if they want those back these issues need to be adressed, if they don’t care they can keep saying things like ‘blue no matter who’ and ‘the most important election of your lives’ every election.
He even looks like a bell end.
“In fact, I broke out my new gel lined knee pads,” Sen. Fetterman later added.
That stroke really did a number on him
Did it tho
I can see his point. Rooting for Trump to fail means rooting for things to get terrible for a lot of Americans.
Trump failed on Covid and people died.
Trump succeeded on COVID. Solidifying his base to confirm his death cult was his success.
His success is our failure. Our priorities are not aligned.
Trump failed because he was empowered to fail.
as a leader in the nation it’s his responsibility to give feedback from his constituency to his leader.
wishing him failure or success is meaningless in the eye of his voters, and his comments are merely signaling to the GOP that he won’t be an obstacle to them.
Trump is not congress’s leader, though.
Congress is co-equal. Or at least it’s supposed to be.
He was elected for his supposedly progressive policies which trump wasnthrougly elected to oppose.
You see how that’s supposed to go, yes?
Sinema is gone, so I guess he is the next in the line of Liebermans in the senate.
There’s always a potential fall-guy future-lobbyist in the Democratic party. At least this one has verified brain damage!
yeah previously we had to make so with “obvious”. now it’s official.
Broken brained bridge troll.
Maybe the demon possessing the child is actually a good thing, says father who doesn’t want the devil to be mean to him.
The amount of obviously mentally ill people in US politics is just mind boggling.
The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
US politics is a reflection of the US public. Apparently a failed state is the best the US can do in the 21st C…
Fetterman is an excellent example of the need for representatives to be immediately recallable.
“this is not what we elected”
I get the idea: you’re supposed to be working together to run the country.
But read the room dude.
you’re supposed to be working together to run the country.
This is a dangerously naive view about politics. This philosophy of bipartisan cooperation pursuing shared goals assumed from the start that the goals are shared and that not just rooting for a president to fail but actively trying to make it happen can in many cases be doing the right thing for the country and your constituents. This isn’t just a matter of tone deaf messaging, it’s just outright wrong.
“Fascism, that’s not a word that regular people, you know, use, you know?” Fetterman said
A fascinating perspective.
I’m a regular person. Trump is a fucking fascist.
Fascists definitely don’t use it.
A fascismating perspective.
Anyone else getting this in Popeye’s voice?
I mean, when over half the US is at a below-sixth-grade reading level, he’s not wrong he’s just an asshole.
Fuckin Fetterman. Guy feels like an intentional personification of ‘don’t get your hopes up.’ Even the relative ambiguity around how much the stroke changed his personality; how dizzying.
If you wanted to dampen progressive enthusiasm, you could do a lot worse than running centrists as progressives and then having them show their true colors after they get elected,
