Was this dude (Fetterman) a Dem? EVER?!?!?

Who voted for this POS!?!?! Does he seriously think he has ANY future in the Dem Party?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know he had a stoke and his brain cells are damaged but his behavior since his stroke is beyond anything due to physical issues. He is NOT a Dem!!!!!

more unforgiving attitudes towards his need for psychological treatment afterwards.

So, maybe his issue is still his stroke and the aftermath... Or maybe he is an a'hole who is merely looking to exploit whatever he can to try to be MAGA-adjacent and thus accepted.

But, I, for one, am done with him.

Many here condemned Connor Lamb too “centrist”. Fetterman has always been a goofball before and after the stroke.

But, I liked Lamb a good bit, too.

Just never saw Fetterman breaking this way, one of the things I liked about him was he was really good at calling out and digging the Rs. He was a a real fighter.

Purity test types see that CENTRIST STATUS QUO ESTABLISHMENT label and that's it, don't even see or listen to the actual person, the cartoon villain is bad and corrupt end of story.
