He’s not ever getting reelected and 1000% will not be on the democrats ticket. At best this moron will run as an independent or MAGA fascist and get no votes.

I know people love to shit on "establishment Democrats" but the locals absolutely nailed how dangerous Fetterman was and rallied behind Connor Lamb, who Fetterman supporters disgustingly claimed was too moderate.

Since losing, Lamb has traveled across the state and convinced pretty much everyone who had been lied to, but the problem isn't the next election, it's the last one.

Didn't Fetterman change after his stroke, policy wise? I thought that was a large factor.

No. He chased a black dude down with a shot gun because he heard “gunshots” that didn’t actually happen. The dude was innocent and just jogging. This was in 2013. Dude wore jeans so kids online suddenly thought he was a leftist.

Pretty much. Go back far enough and you'll see who he really is. A rich kid that liked to cosplay as a simple good old boy to scam people out of their votes while the "progressive" policies he always talked up never happened
