In reply to the discussion: Am I the only one who doesn't care what Fetterman wears on the Senate floor? [View all]duckworth969
(1,407 posts)I thought perhaps the reason Fetterman is choosing, at least in part, to wear his hoodie and shorts for his day gig is for his own mental and emotional health.
Maybe a way of keeping inside his own element, to stay grounded and maintain focus.
Its what hes used to and comfortable with.
Ask yourself how much deference and respect we extend to others because of the suits, gowns, tiaras, hats, robes, etc. they wear, and so many of them turn out to be the worst examples of Homo sapiens.
Look, when the Senate has their group photo, Id to see Big John in a suit.
But when hes at work and he wants to wear his work clothes, let the man alone so he can do his job.
Fettermans not there to be what you want.
Hes there for the people he works for and they seem to be cool with his garb of choice.
