“Some people think now we have to double down on those things or we must become more progressive or more extreme,” said Fetterman, who has renounced the “progressive” label in recent years, continuing, “That’s absolutely not true. The seven or eight states that are going to determine who’s going to be our next president, you know, we have to win in those states, and I understand what that takes.”

If I am understanding this right, the mistake Fetterman thinks Democrats made was not being enough like Republicans. When they were shifting right before, they weren’t shifting fast or far enough.

      I’m honestly unsure if he lied, or if his stroke shorted things out to make his political goals unrecognizable from what they were before, but the net result is the same.

    Fetterman isn’t worried about grassy knolls or wide open spaces. If he gets shot in the head, the projectile will just harmlessly pass through the holes of his swiss cheese brain.

    And when he’s out on his ass in his next election because he’s a turncoat, he should receive the message at that point. Or, that won’t happen and we all will be much more screwed with people like this brain injured fellow making all the calls.

      If they primary hin and win, he will just run as a Republican or more likely an independent. Fuck him hope we rid him of politics soon.

    Fetterman logic:

    My wife won’t have sex with me anymore because I forced myself on her and had anal sex without lube. I guess I should have fucked her ass without her consent more often. That way she wouldn’t be so angry.
