In reply to the discussion: A Pennsylvanian's Bold Letter to Senator Fetterman [View all]Beartracks
(14,480 posts)12. Reaching across to their "friends" across the aisle... Pfft.
The desire to be "bipartisan" and making promises to "work with Republicans to find common-sense solutions" -- has this kind of posturing campaign promise ever really won even a single vote for the Democrat who makes it? It is NOT the motivating factor they think it is! Even for independent voters, that is simply not the way to win support anymore. This kind of kumbaya promise may have meant something back in the days when Republicans had honor. But that day is long, long gone, and Fetterman and other Democrats need to know that, now more than ever, people vote for Democrats NOT to work with Republicans, but to STOP them.
