41. The top 2 candidates in that primary had red flags

Sun May 17, 2026, 02:38 PM

Yesterday

Not as bad as Fetterman but soon after Connor Lamb was elected he voted against Pelosi for Speaker of the House while the progressive caucus were mostly unanimous in supporting Pelosi in 2018 & 2020. Fetterman campaigned to be the Democrats 51st vote during a time when we had Manchin & Sinema (who was Schumer's hope). The red flags were there and I didn't back a candidate besides the winner of the primary because Fetterman wanted to end mask mandates sooner than most Democrats which was a red flag for me in addition to the jogger story.

Connor Lamb would've still been better but hopefully someone else better will emerge when Fetterman's seat comes up again.
