25. He wouldn't take votes from Republicans

Mon Jan 20, 2025, 01:24 AM

Just because he's the most Republican-friendly senator doesn't mean they've vote for him. They find him useful, period.
Fetterman has ensured Democrats outside of PA will not vote for him. Why on earth do people want to make everyone President? The party's daddy and mommy fixation with the person at the top to the exclusion of races around the country, especially at the local level, is a problem. 1) it has drastically reduced the Democratic Party's power around the nation, and 2) it's infantile. We don't need a new daddy. We need a winning platform. Even setting all that aside, people would no sooner vote for Fetterman than Manchin or Sinema.
