One Democratic strategist said there is "virtually no way" Fetterman does not face a primary challenge if run for re-election in 2028.

    Yes, that’s because he’s literally a republican.

    Oh, never mind, the author of the article seems to have been working there for about a month. I’m guessing they just graduated and started reading political news for the first time last month. That’s the only explanation for this article, other than the author being a massive liar or reeeeaaally dumb.

      He’s a republican for all intents and purposes. But not literally.

    You ever wonder whether what you’re about to say violates some fundamental tenet you set for yourself? Anyway, he didn’t deserve to survive that stroke.

        What they’re trying to say is that an alternative outcome for this unforeseen event would’ve been more opportune. 😀

      Not saying the stroke turned him into a piece of shit, but if a stroke would turn me into a piece of shit, then I honestly would rather not survive it

        A stroke causes anoxia and necrosis, and conservatism is linked to an altered executive function following injury.

        Make with that what you will.

        (joking, ofc, unless…?)

    He’s the next Joe Manchin. Mainchin wielded outsized influence being at the extreme edge of the party with an electorate willing to keep him there. Wouldn’t be surprised if Fetterman finds that appealing.

      It’s worse than that. Fetterman’s stroke has caused him to be fully unhinged and irrational. Manchin had motive and purpose: money and power. Fetterman is quite literally delusional from his brain injury.

        Fetterman stroke didn’t do shit. Stop spreading that. He was alsways an asshole, he was never progressive, and he was always a politician first and formost.

              Which came after the multiple times he specifically campaigned on being a progressive.

    Connor Lamb, whose base was conservative Democrats, is expected to challenge Fetterman for drifting to the right? The same representative who’s also often on lists of Democratic defections? Yeah, that’s gonna work.

      I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any “cult of personality” type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.
