Fetterman: I’m not going to switch parties

[redbeer]

Because he's not switching parties knowing the other one is as sharp as a bag of hammers? Yeah, I guess so.

Least he has a set, willing to stand up against the radical progressive leftists in his party.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Wow, now that some serious TDS.

OMG the TDS argument AGAIN?

Cool. Name the MAGA equivalent who has not been excommunicated from the MAGAverse. Maybe Fetterman can lend some in MAGAGOP a pair.

“Radical progressive leftists” means what, specifically, to you?

Let’s have it defined.

 

[redbeer]

You mean besides a foreign policy that had the US as the global leader and largest global influence?

Now being usurped by China? Happily?

Under Biden, we were a joke. I can't easily forget other world leaders have to bring Joe back from wandering away or lead him off the stage. It's the reason the world's a mess today. Russia, China and others jumped all over the opportunity with such weakness.

A gilded ballroom only benefits the oligarchy class - of which Trump is a member.

It doesn’t benefit you. It doesn’t benefit me. It doesn’t benefit most Americans.

Trump is using the money from the settlement from YouTube for its construction, instead of pocketing it as you mischaracterized.

 

[Linc]

Wow, now that some serious TDS.

Do you embody Trump’s Debilitating Syphilitic meltdowns?

 

[Decypher]

If you were to scan some of the other threads posted today you would find one about how the educated Republicans want to convince uneducated Republican voters that education is bad for them. Go look for it. I think wild rants like yours speaks to the theme of that thread.

Indeed, reading the posts of @redbeer makes clear which category he belongs to.

 

[Irredentist]

They have lost all sense of being a political party in America. It's only "I hate Twump" and the only ones allowed inside must have this mark. Truly is a cult of hatred.

I don't like Trump either. I'm strongly left wing; I care deeply about social progressivism, and Trump has made it very clear that I'm his enemy. So there's no home for me on the political right. I don't feel like I belong anywhere, and it depresses me.

What trump was when his mistresses signed NDA’s for abortions.

That's a really good description. Al Capone demonstrated a lot of the same characteristics. He was just a lot tougher than Trump.

Trump is a thin-skinned wimp.

Far left of moderates, radical on the verge of anarchism who see violence as a tool for their advantage. They use acts of mental patients or antifa or anyone else they can hide behind to foster socialist agenda to fundamentally change our Constitution and Republic.

Today, these "radical progressive leftists" are waiting in patience for someone to get killed accidentally or not by ICE to "use" as a political tool to win over the voters. This is how they operate, in the shadows awaiting to pounce on situations as this to further the radicalism.

Keep your eyes peeled in the upcoming year leading up to the midterms and see what transpires......this will come to pass because it's a deep seated pattern in how they operate.

What other choice have you left us with? Trump has declared the far-left to be his enemies. He wants us gone, and the Democrats aren't going to defend us. We have no choice but to fight.

That's what I don't understand about the Democrat Party of today......where are the moderates? Are they in hiding, afraid to speak up, switched parties, or as you and don't know what to do? That's the problem with "radicalism" whether left or right, as it silences the majority in one way or the other.

I sincerely hope the democrats will have some leaders step forward, for our country works better with two parties of equal strength. I see some future leaders from the Republicans, but all I see from the left are either too far left or are in it to only talk about Twump.

You just have to turn off all of the hype and BS from the left when they talk about Trump and the right.....it's all mischaracterizations and lies. Come on over, it's not as they say.

 

[OrphanSlug]

It looks like the Democratic love hate relationship with Fetterman is bleeding over to an occasional love hate interest from Republicans too. It was dumb of Maria Bartiromo from FoxBusiness to go there, or at least lead him to that discussion.

Seems to be all too easy for Fetterman to get under the skin of both Democrats and Republicans these days *simply because* he is not a party line loyalist. Tell us we have a two party membership authoritarian dominant political system without saying it. Fetterman proves the point.

What Fetterman was really talking about was dealing with Republicans from the minority position headed into a likely government shutdown. The "brain-damaged" (as the OP put it) Senator happens to be one of the few adults in the room, medical issues notwithstanding. The key part of the conversation was how Democrats and Republicans align their flock on the hill into you must do, and say, and vote as leadership demands and that ideology is the "real extremists" doing the talking.

What Fetterman is saying is not new territory, parties align their membership in Congress all the damn time, but it puts real mavericks in a position of having to consider the implications of these actions as opposed to the party telling their membership how to deal with particular votes and "negotiation" with the other party.

Fetterman does not have to leave the party, he votes with them over 80% of the time, and he is not at the bottom of that list either.

I do not even like Fetterman, on the issues too much to disagree with. Including his babbling on Israel and Netanyahu's "end game" with Hamas and Gaza. But I can see why some Republicans are looking his way for a potential 54th vote, but he would fail there to. No reason to think Fetterman would suddenly become a 80% voter for Republican wants.

This whole thing is dumb, and I suspect Fetterman's vote record would be more like 85% or 90% if Democrats were not as polarized into their camp as Republicans already are under Lord Trump. Something was in a few of those wants and Fetterman simply said no... enter the love / hate relationship.

The Democrats have a centrist problem. At first it was just chickenshits and corporatists like Max Baucus and Joe Manchin who were unapologetically Republican Lite and would remind us of that fact whenever votes on healthcare or environmental legislation would come up. But with recent Senators, there's a new phenomenon whereby social media savvy hipster candidates like Sens. Sinema and Fetterman do some sort of in-your-face political cosplay. It's sick, really. The Democrats will have to live with this risk as long as they're dependent on centrism to win elections...which is probably the foreseeable future.

Trump’s ultra maga men love them some serial adultery, with convicted rape on the side.
Tell us, when trump is erecting the ten commandments, which ones will he have obeyed?

I don't listen to anything the Democrats say anymore. They've let me down too many times. But when I listen to the Republicans, it's very clear that we have almost nothing in common. I am a social progressive to my core. How exactly am I supposed to align myself with a political party that stands against everything I believe in?

Just be a moderate democrat. The left is not being actively censored or jailed.....nobody is going to knock on your door. Except maybe those who are antifa, they might want to run and hide somewhere.

You have no real leaders, only radicals hellbent on anti-Trump rhetoric which is fostering violence. Sad what has happened to the democrat party.

Maybe there will be some leaders within your party who will finally awaken and stand up and speak against the radicalism, begin to speak more on policy instead of Trump, who will not kowtow to the troublemakers. Idk, are there any?

I want the brain-damaged Fetterman to stay in the Democrat Party so he can cause more trouble for them.

'Progressive' gets brain damage... he then becomes a conservative. It's almost too on the nose.

Trump has implemented a 100% tariff in the medications some Americans need to take, beef prices are all record highs, cost of living is up, we have the US military roaming the streets grabbing people, Trump is bragging about lining the walls of the White House in gold…and you’re worried about democrats “speak against radicalism”?

The call is coming from inside the f*cking house
