A former campaign staffer said Sen. John Fetterman’s single-minded focus on Israel came at the exclusion of the progressive positions he ran on.

      Apparently he was always a creep.

      They brought receipts.

        Yeah, I think the warning signs were always there, especially the whole “threating a black guy with a fucking shotgun” incident, but people hated Oz (for obvious reasons) and were super excited for a down to earth, progressive, everyday person. He has said the stroke made him more conservative, but honestly he was always kinda a rascist asshole and just used the veneer of an everday working class Philadelphian for optics imo. Even so, he’s a massive disappointment and I really hope PA can primary him in 2026 2028 for an actual progressive.

          Unfortunately, we have him until 2028. Let’s hope he doesn’t have another stroke that leads him to tumble all the way across the aisle.

            But a stumblestroke to the grave might work.

          Philadelphian

          Dude’s actually from York county and I’ve lived in this state long enough to know not to trust people from there.

            Depends on which side you were on during the Battle of York.

      I think a lot of his percieved political views during the campaign were mostly ascribed to him, and he never denied anything hoping that it’d win him the election.

      Well, turned out that he, like any other candidate, will say whatever needs to be said to win.

      But at least he’s not Dr Oz.

        That’s the worst part of this really… the alternative was still far worse.

      It’s a problem for anyone entering politics. It takes incredible resolve and character to resist selling out. He just didn’t have what it takes.

        Ooor like many politicians he just put on a progressive facade for people to vote him, until he got enough influence to sell himself to the highest bidder. And AIPAC pays their prostitutes well.

      Brain damage from the stroke made him a drooling idiot with a flexible knee.

      Maybe that provides cover for him pulling a sinema.
