than anyone thought. Every time we are close to some massive piece of legislation or approval that hinges on every vote, along comes someone we thought was on our side to turn it around and out of grasp (Manchin, Sinema, et al). Enter the current state of Fetterman.

It's so disheartening.

I really thought we had this election for all elected branches. And somehow, it went the complete opposite.
