Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Fetterman ran on a platform that "He's not Dr Oz!" and he's done amazingly well at that!
Unfortunately the root of the problem with Democrat vs Republican is that while the GOP seems to have rock solid blackmail on its representatives, the DNC is a circus.
We've got AOC and Bernie who have nothing in common with Chuckles or the Democrats that voted for more money for ICE's monthly subscription of keep people in cages and randomly terrorize people. Fetterman is indeed an asshole but again it was him or the Dr addicted to being on television so much that he tanked his career Oz (I believe that is his middle name).
The only way out of this chaos is if we the people of the USA can pay attention long enough to get ranked choice voting implemented in enough states. Otherwise even if you can get the circus to all agree on anything, Jill Stein will come out of her crypt and siphon enough votes over to the Green party.
You're right about the middle name, but wrong about the first one. He hasn't been a doctor since years before the Senate election, so it's just Mehmet.
Sounds like a foreigner. Somebody call ICE.
