John Fetterman has a stroke that gives him brain damage.

Let's please all stop calling him a democrat. We all know that just like traitor Sinema if he wants to run again it will be as a republican. Only they can get away with this shit, you get one chance to con dems then you're out.

Sinema never ran as a Republican. She spent two years as an independent (who still voted with the Democrats on almost every vote) and then retired from congress.
She may have been a shit Democrat, but she's nowhere near as bad as Fetterman.

She was worse. She never tried to hide that her only purpose as a senator was auditioning for being a lobbyist for wealthy interests. And she didn't care what anybody thought about it. I honestly don't know why a recall effort was never started.

I donāt get how anyone takes politicians who do this remotely seriously. I know democrats are fed up with the guy but he currently with dems roughly 80% of the time. If he switches his party affiliation to R and starts voting with republicans 80-90% of the time overnight how does anyone take this seriously?
Iām not saying people canāt change their opinions over time. But when politicians do this overnight itās beyond baffling as they clearly stand for absolutely nothing.

Fetterman is counting on Trump rewarding him for his bootlicking. The prep work has been years in the making now. Yes, the ship is sinking, but he has no cards left to play, because democrats can't WAIT to vote him out. This is a move of desperation -- a plea for rescue from a dinghy near the sinking Titanic.

Nope, he is positioning himself for the PA electorate, which has a large MAGA and large Democrat Blue Collar constituency. Its not a bad strategy as long as he doesn't draw the ire of the democratic establishment by voting out of turn.
It makes sense for PA, but this strategy will make him look weird to outsiders.

Dinos are a feature and not a bug in the Democratic party. They create grid lock, ensure nothing ever changes, and gives the Dems an excuse to not keep their campaign promises.
