Vote Fetterman's useless ass out of office. WTF, Fetterman, if there is a politician who should be vocal about socialized medicine, it should be you, because that is what saved your useless ass. Instead the fuck throws money at a damn war.

Fetterman is not a democrat.
He is at best impaired mentally and at worst a GOP plant
Fetterman is NOT a Democrat. He just plays one on TV. Because brain damage.
He's proof conservativism is brain damage. It's been an interesting case study at least.
He’s an Israeli backed pedophile
Fuck him for proving if you look weird and evil, you usually are
He should really be kicked out of the party at this point.
You mean the party bought and paid for by billionaires and lead by Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies? That party?
Don't hold your fucking breath.
I don't know about you, but I think this fella is not very wholesome.
There's always at least one.
... and THIS is how Ds show their compliance when the minority.

BoTh PaRtIeS can stop this "supermajority" nonsense at ANY TIME. But, from their point of view, that makes popular legislation too easy to pass, and they don't want that, do they?
Instead, they ¯\(ツ)/¯
If memory serves this "supermajority filibuster" circus started in the 1970s. This is a parliamentary rule ONLY. It's not law. It's not in the constitution. It requires only a simple majority vote to erase. They pass legislation they really want without it all of the time, by making it an "exception" to the parliamentary rule (also done through simple majority vote). There are hundreds of "exceptions" to the super majority rule. This is what they want to pass.
So, this is a fucking circus that they can stop at any time. For example, Democrats could have decided "enough is enough" when Biden was in office after the monstrosity that was Trump, and used the "nuclear option" (that's what they call it) to revert to simple majority vote to pass laws. Then, they could have passed lots of very popular legislation, a new New Deal, so to speak; 70% of American voters want universal healthcare, for example... 90% of Democrats want this.
What did the Democrats do for their own voters?
¯\(ツ)/¯
Couldn't even pass higher minimum wage.
This is why a very minimum requirement for an actual democracy includes recall voting.
Dude just straight up decided to betray his constituents and nothing can be done to remove him.
I would also add "no confidence" recall voting and a two term limit, so politicians can't form these decades-long relationships with their billionaire owners.
Luigi time!
Reminder not to joke about encouraging people to do incredibly cool and sexy crimes, the FBI are not required to show context when they're showing your and other peoples posts to a judge for getting a warrent.
I came here to mention this. Glad I'm not alone. I do not understand why we can't recall or impeach Congress members by vote.
I do not understand why we can’t recall or impeach Congress members by vote
Because then the people might recall them and put in politicians who do what they want. And that's bad for the people who don't want what the people want; the capitalist class whom finances their campaigns.
I hope this ghoul gets primaried into oblivion the next time he's up for reelection.
Something isn’t right with him.
Sounds like that stroke a few years ago left him with some serious brain damage, and radically changed his political opinions/ideology (are those two related???).
No, he was a racist and a zionist before he was elected, we just chose not to see it. The alternatives in the primary were just as bad. This was lost when Fetterman was the left most candidate in the primary.
Ah okay, fair enough.
Wouldn't the more a accurate headline be "Fetterman is the only pro-Iran-War senator to claim to be a democrat?"
All it takes to be a Democratic elected official is to run as a party member and get elected. He did those things. He's a Democrat. The Democratic party is just a lot more right wing at its extremes (and overall) than folks like to admit.
Seriously. I've got a FF plugin that automatically replaces "Fetterman" with "A Bag of Dicks Wearing a Hoodie"
It's a real time saver...
"Prick with ears" and "Slab of beef with nipples" are also top-tier insults.
I don't get why the hell people appear to be progressive one moment and then become regressive the next.
He literally got brain damage and became Republican
Senator Sling Blade is an Israeli tool. He always has been.
in this case, brain damage
Didn't this dude's brain literally break?
Sinema was just broken from the start.
Money, its always money.
Money, power, and brain damage.
Look at Kennedy, admitted brain parasite and he swings hard right and messed up.
I'm pretty sure Robby Kennedy is just the worm's host now. We're all at the mercy of that little Shai-Hulud.
Traitorous bastard
I wish there was a recall process.
