    A real Maverick move to go in lockstep with the Nazi regime, eh. Also surprised this wasn’t posted in the Dunk Tank.

      Also imagine branding someone that is just doing the literal status quo as a maverick. Liberal media, not even once

        NBC News endorsing the notion that the woke mob run culture via tweets while the brave government does what it can to stop them from ruining everything for the hard workers.

    Dumb question since I still don’t know much about this dude but did he simply win because he survived a stroke and also wears hoodies because he’s like me fr fr???

    I remember seeing Dems championing him all over reddit but I haven’t seen anything from this guy that would suggest that he is progressive, like at all. Even from a Dem brainworm definition of “progressive”.

      Tbh, he only won because the alternative was Dr. Oz, who is now broadly hated for being a genuine piece of shit and harming tens of millions of people with his quack TV grift. If they’d run for office 15 years earlier, he’d have beat Fetterman.

        My grandma watched his show regularly and thinks all doctors are smart in all fields. But shes a staunch Democrat so i wonder how she feels about him now. What won, celebrity worship or party politics lol.

        She never abandoned Ellen so. But also Ellen didnt run for office as a Republican lol.

      He also was running against Dr. Mehmet Oz so there was probably some element of “Who do you want, the large adult son or another TV dude.”

    Candidate in the election: I am literally Vladimir Lenin

    Candidate after the election: I am literally John McCain

    (Probably replace Lenin with Bernie Sanders or Corbyn if you’re being less hyperbolic)

    Fetterman is good representation of many US citizens. Mildly left wing on economics, mixed on social issues, doesn’t give a shit about the actual consequences of foreign policy

    Yet all leftists and progressives will get blame from his supporters if he loses next election.

    Noooo you have to vote for him even though he says he in no way represents you… noooo you can’t just call him a liar for pretending to be progressive

    Anyone who remotely runs as a progressive in this country: “LOL PSYCH! I’M RIGHT WING!”

    Normies: “Wooooow…this clearly is a condemnation on anything left-wing as a whole.”
