Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday that America “is not sending their best and brightest” to represent them in Congress. “Sometimes you literally just can’t believe like, these people are mak…
The scary thing is, they just might be.
As an american, I can confirm these are not our best and brightest. The best and brightest have either started leaving or they are seduced by big business and paid absurd (for working class) salaries to ignore the problems of the country.
Alternatively: They are 100% not interested in holding a position of power and dealing with beaurocratic drama garbage nonsense (which makes them objectively a better choice than the people we get)
You just wrote “engineer” in so many words.
So they ARE smart
Our political system is excellent in weeding out almost anyone who genuinely wants to make a difference and leaving you with the people who are simply the most personally ambitious.
I misread it. I thought he was saying the Repubs weren’t sending their best and brightest.
Fetterman is right to think so.
They don’t want the best and brightest
What a world we might live in if all the politicians even understood electricity and the electron.
But instead we live in a world where the politicians know what plants crave.
What do plants crave?
Brawndo! But I like money.
And the internet.
What do you mean? It’s a series of tubes.
Please, no flash photography. You’ll harm the internet. https://youtu.be/Vywf48Dhyns?si=n9FQZnkw2Pr8XAyQ
fyi, the ?si= part of that link is a tracker. Google will know who you referred to that video
So then use this one. Or just not use YouTube. 🤷🏻♂️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vywf48Dhyns&pp=ygUTaXQgY3Jvd2QgdGhlIHNwZWVjaA%3D%3D
what? just a heads up. you can strip the tracker out like this: https://youtu.be/Vywf48Dhyns

I guess things haven’t changed that much.
Tbh, I’ve thought about it, who hasn’t. But don’t think I have the money to run a campaign. It should be illegal to use your own funds to campaign, let people just use an amount of public funds for the purpose and that’s it, we all get the same “free speech” instead of some having more “free speech” than others depending on their wallet size. (Fuck Citizens United)
I mean… he’s part of congress, is he not?
You’re missing the point, and aside from that Fetterman is far more intelligent than the nutcases that are Magic The Gathering, Boebert, Gaetz, Jordan, Cruz. Not hard to tell.
OH. I got it. so everyone BUT him is stupid. Got it.
Again, you’re missing the point of his statement but it doesn’t seem you’re thinking critically or with reason.
So enlighten me. How is he not calling himself a fucking idiot along with the rest of congress? Cause I agree with that point. Did “America” not send him to congress? Was he appointed?
If you read the article and the rest of his statement instead of the title, I think you would understand Fetterman viewpoint. You’re completely misdirecting yourself and too stubborn to read between the lines.
I read the article. He self owned. End of story.
Good job, man. Whatever helps you sleep at night lmaoooo
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.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
That’s the crux of the matter. If you want the job, you shouldn’t be allowed to have it. It would be better to make qualified people be forced to do it on a frequently rotating basis. Kinda like a draft for educated, moral citizens.
They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.
If you like stupid people in high places you’ll love the government
I would much prefer them to be high in stupid places. Seems much less harmful
Smart people don’t make good puppets for corporations and foreign governments.
We need more fettermans.
Fettermen, Fetterfolk.
They’re manly men.
You sure, the people he’s talking about includes him, and you want more of the same? What does that say about you?
Not even sending the averages or the good enoughs.
Just the most racist and homophobic. We are REALLY good at sending them to Congress.
Fetterman is the Betterman.

Nothing will ever get done in this political climate.
You mean Brett Kavanaugh isn’t one of our brightest legal minds! Say it aint so!
Not saying you’re wrong, but…Brett’s not in Congress…
He was confirmed by the upper house of Congress though, in spite of the numerous credible allegations and the fact that he showed without a shadow of a doubt that he didn’t have the calm and even-tempered psychology a fair judge is supposed to have.
I know, he’s just a great example.
