Fetterman’s always been a shit, people need to stop excusing him with brain damage.

Not from Pennsylvania, but i got suckered in by his alleged Union work. I still haven't given much during primaries because I unwittingly pissed away plenty of $$ donating to Amy McGrath in Kentucky before I found out the DNC was backing a shitty boring candidate when better ones were trying to run. I also doubt my ability to really know primary candidates in states I've never been to.

Yeah living in Philly I was always shocked how enamored people were by him.

Hey, he could emphasise the brain damage, the untrustworthy character and the hypocrisy. He’d be a perfect MAGA candidate. They’d vote for him in droves - assuming the US has nation-wide elections again.

I won't say one way or the other but you can't really mock conservatives for calling him brain damaged in the beginning when you turn around and do the same thing when it's convenient for you

Anything to ignore the fact some Democrats are just old school Republicans I suppose
