20. Fuck me, you have a pretty low standard of "confrontation".

I would say "don't underestimate VP Harris". And I wouldn't mean that confrontationally at all. I'd mean it as a compliment, though a criticism of others who have underestimated her.

If that's the extent of your argument against Trump - "don't underestimate him" - then I'm glad the politicians aren't following your advice. I really hope Fetterman has been a lot more confrontational than your standard. And I hope he does a lot of Trump-bashing in the future, even if he's ended up being reporting without any this time.

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
