A team player is somebody who tells people what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear.

The polls all reflect what Fetterman is saying, and it's not just in PA. A lot of people are dedicated to Trump, despite everything. This race is close and we could lose. We have to fight like hell.

Fetterman understands Pa. people. You have to confront the enemy and not just bash them. twodogsbarking Sep 2024 #15

Any idea how Fetterman "confronted" Trump? muriel_volestrangler Sep 2024 #16

Confront Trump don't just bash him, not Pennsylvanians. twodogsbarking Sep 2024 #17

Just repeating your words, leaving a few out, doesn't help. muriel_volestrangler Sep 2024 #18

He is telling us to not underestimate trump. That is confronting him. twodogsbarking Sep 2024 #19

Fuck me, you have a pretty low standard of "confrontation". muriel_volestrangler Sep 2024 #20
