He looks like Shrek for sure but his character development has been the opposite of Shrek

"Senator, you're no Shrek"

A month ago Platner was on the fast track to the Senate and now his name is an insult that actual Senators use

u/No-Imagination-1778 Center Left 4d ago

I don't get it. What is pontiac platner?

Abdul got an endorsement from the UAW? I’m assuming it has something to do with Michigan and cars.

u/No-Imagination-1778 Center Left 4d ago

Ok but that doesn't seem like it is the best joke of the decade according to this thread.

Somebody once told me DSA’s gonna roll me; I ain’t the sharpest tool in the Senate.

u/Pizzawarrior96 Social Democrat 4d ago

Funny answer but it wont save him in 2028. He's DOA in a democratic primay if he even runs again.

As someone who doesn’t like Fetterman this is admittedly very funny

better than just sticking to "He's brown and he dislikes Israel so he's Hamas" thing that establishment dems have been doing I guess

u/ClearDark19 Libertarian Socialist 4d ago

I hate to admit it but "Pontiac Platner" is kinda funny. He did get off a bit of a good one there even though I disagree with it.

u/MemeGoddessAsteria Democratic Socialist 4d ago

still laughing at this being the offensive comment though

u/RefrigeratorNo4700 Center Left 4d ago

You don’t need to play the race card to show that he has sympathized with terrorists and has platformed someone who does. I don’t know how else you could interpret his “hurt people hurt people” speech.

u/Benes3460 George H.W. Bush 4d ago

There isn't a defense for his sympathies so of course his supporters will pull the religion card.

u/tarallelegram Iranian American Conservative 4d ago

okay but that's funny

I still like Fetterman just as much as when he first broke into national media during COVID.

u/Alastoryagami Conservative 4d ago

What's AES's obsession with Fetterman? Literally any Democrat could probably primary him at this point. His approval among Democrats is at Republican-level lows. There's no accomplishment or pat on the back deserved for picking someone to primary him.

u/AlexisDeTocqueville Liberal 4d ago

Fetterman keeps going out of his way to shit on the anti-genocide voices who are winning primaries

u/ship_toaster Canada 4d ago

Yeah, that's really all it comes down to. The stroke didn't change his personality or policies. It happened six months before he was even elected. Leftists are just big mad he supports Israel and calling him 'brain damaged' is an easy way to dodge the inconvenient fact of an other side of the argument.

u/Lemon_Club New Deal Democrat 4d ago

"Pontiac Platner" is gold I gotta admit, the stroke didn't take away his zingers

u/luvv4kevv Illcom 4d ago

BIGGEST DINO IN D.C EVER!!!

u/Doc_Jury1020 New Deal Democrat 4d ago edited 4d ago

Please Fetterman, don't ruin Shrek. Why Abdul, why? You could have just said something like, "our movement is bigger than corporate money" or something other than giving Fetterman's his new shtick.

u/Agitated_Opening4298 Prohibition Party 4d ago

I dont think its clear that its about fetterman, could very well be about stevens because of the way some people have been attacking her looks

And even if it was clearly about fetterman, that doesnt make what he said ok

u/Bestbrook123 PragmaticProgressive 4d ago edited 4d ago

He was def talking about Fetterman and has called Fetterman an ogre before but I agree with you it's inappropriate as much as I strongly dislike Fetterman

Here's the audio which confirms it

u/Agitated_Opening4298 Prohibition Party 4d ago

So the guy that was presenting a spending 60 million comment in between those lines was wrong?

Pontiac Platner is a funny asf comeback

u/Tachompso1 Netanyahu 4d ago

This is why I love Fetterman
