9. I did vote and I voted for Fetterman

In fact, I was a rah-rah girl for Fetterman believing he had a unique opportunity to make inroads with working class voters, the sort of voters who were my neighbors in Delco, PA.

After his stroke and the man's valiant attempt to get back on his feet, I thought he had another opportunity to speak about the importance of quality healthcare for all and become a voice for the disabled, the medically compromised, those struggling to regain their lives and dreams.

So, what did he do? Trekked down to Mar-a-Lago to bend the knee, lectured his Democratic supporters about Trump derangement syndrome and insisted Dems be reasonable.

Huh??

Sorry. I'm not reasonable about fascism or the Lout-in-Chief squatting in the White House.

Disappointing doesn't come close to how I feel about supporting Fetterman. There's no way I'd vote for him again if, in fact, I were still a Pennsylvanian resident. Something changed in the man. I suspect it's stroke related, maybe seriously tasting his own mortality which affects a lot of recovering patients.

Doesn't matter. I'm royally pissed.

So much promise. So much wasted.
