Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The polling showed that Fetterman was at +68 with Democrats in Pennsylvania back in 2023.

“He was a Democrat liberal darling,” Enten said.

That is no longer the case.

“Look at how low he has fallen, down to negative 40 points,” Enten said showing the new data. “He’s down there with the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Fetterman's brain is broken. He's an embarrassment in more ways than one, and he needs to be put out to pasture asap.

Should have cognitive tests for campaigning or sitting members of government if they have a stroke. Guy had a stroke in 2022 got aphasia and then had severe depression in 2023. He was mid campaign when most of it happened so the Dems didn't want to replace him as he had all the momentum against Oz.

I wish liberals would stop saying this. His brain didn't break. The democrats got duped.

His career will continue with the republicans where he was always gravitating to. The "progressive" label was used just to get his big foot in the door. The Dems got duped.

It's true, but his brain is broken also. Two things can be true at the same time.

Also, he's unbelievably crass and disrespectful.

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 17 points 4 hours ago

You might be right, maybe he was a chud all along, idk.

But c'mon, it's obvious the stroke broke his brain. Before the stroke he was giving 10 minutes speeches from memory, after the stroke he can't finish a sentence.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 7 points 3 hours ago

it's both. his history shows the kind of liberal he was and he was never particularly progressive. he even avoided the term and disliked it lol. he got worse once elected though.. nowadays he's pathetically reprehensible as opposed to out of touch and middle of the road.

He should be running free, on a farm somewhere.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 1 points 2 minutes ago

He's one of the weak and slow. He'll get eaten first.
