WTF are you talking about? Fetterman ran as a progressive. He was endorsed by Bernie Sanders. He was the populist left wing candidate. Conor Lamb was the moderate. 

I want to level set this topic.  Is Fetterman the way he is because he "took a journey" because of his illness or as a reaction to Oct7?  Or is he this way because he was always this way?  

Connor Lamb would have been my preferred Senator there in every way.

Good.  I'm glad this is a wedge issue.   Trump's corruption, imperial excesses and vanity boiled down to the term: billion-dollar ballroom.

He was always this way. Look at Tulsi Gabbard. A hero of Bernie Sanders and the far left. Hillary Clinton had her figured out early and Sanders and the left rushed to her defense. Platner is another one. There was that Kay woman in Illinois. It’s funny how a lot of the far left was either Republicans or turned Republican. It’s a party for white people who don’t want to be labeled republicans.

I will never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. Am I supposed to be blindly vote for whoever Democratic leadership tells me to vote for? My vote is sacred. My personal identity is tied to whoever I vote for. The candidate I vote for must be pure.

I deeply regret that 4 week period where I was rooting for Ted Cruz against Trump in the 2016 cycle.   The ideal candidate: a person who is worried about how his grandkids (i.e., the future) will think about his legacy.  You don't get too many of those.

When your choice is Hitler or democracy, this is 100% correct. Like, how is this even debatable? 

Not everyone sees it that way. There are people that believe we are screwed either way.  Nobody is entitled to their vote.

Literally 77,302,580 people voted for trump (hitler) in 2024 and hes here bashing 1800 people in Michigan who DIDNT vote for Trump (hitler)  as the reason trump won which is false on its face, numbers posted a few weeks ago.

That's why I blamed the voters but apparently they are all innocent in the decisions they make.

So, everybody needs to vote for your candidate?  That doesn't sound like democracy,.

They need to vote for the non fascist. That option was very clear in 2024 and they chose the guy who literally said he would be a fascist over the black woman and her laugh. Voters are the reason the US has slipped into fascism.

because Dems are virtue signaling that they aren’t going to accept pac money. It’s redistricting all over again. Blue states unilaterally disarmed themselves over purity contests while red states continued to gerrymander. Same thing with pac money. 

pac money is not the reason big donors have issues with national party membership. It's more doubts over the quality of the leadership. And it's quite possible the old guard donors are wrong and Martin is right - I'm not in a position to argue that, but party level donations are lagging. The Corp-PAC pledge is individual candidates, not the DNC

LOL - nobody confuses John Fetterman with AOC.
