Because of legal foreign bribery.
to add to this;
The Israel lobby (AIPAC) is funneling Billions of American Tax funds (and European probably as well) to Zionist Conquest Doctrine. These are funds that were/are already being mismanaged through political grifts and corruption, so the fact that it's going toward a repugnant and quite frankly frivolous war of aggression, that is not only threatening to bankrupt not just America but collapse the entire world economic order, I feel it might be a bit of a solid stance to be in opposition to shitheads that support Israel's actions right now.
"Hot take," I know.

At his point I say we should just GIVE them Nukes. FFS, Quit trying to invade Persia!!

Why wait? Just fuck off already.
The sooner he fucks off the better.
One more reason to oppose Israel. Not that even more reasons are necessary.
He's functionally a Republican anyway. Why spend Dem party campaign mpney on him?
Get the fuck out you shit head. Please PA do something about this turd!!!!
Senator John Fetterman of the State of Israel demands recognition.
The fact senior US statesmen continue to offer loyalty to a different sovereign state makes you a laughingstock.
Who cares, he votes for the Republican talking points most of the time anyway. Grow a spine already and make it official.
What he wants is the party to cross the made up line he has drawn in the sand so he can switch affiliation “guilt free” and be able to say “ look they made me do it” when pressed about it.

but then he couldnt sabotage the democrats from the inside.
Good.
Go away, nobody likes you.
Stroke made you evil.
So his threat is basically that he'll likely ruin his chances of holding office ever again if the party doesn't do what he wants? What a weird flex.
He’s currently polling at ~19% approval among Pennsylvania democrats, but ~80% with republicans. So if he sticks with democrat party, he has basically no chance of getting reelected. But republicans tend to do a little better in Pennsylvania (or at least, they used to, but Donny’s current term may have changed that,) so he could have a shot at winning reelection if he switches to Republican. Especially since Republicans love “I used to be a Democrat then I got some common sense” types of stories. He could ham it up for republican voters, and would likely do pretty well if he could convince them he has truly switched sides.
There's no way he ever gets reelected. The best he can hope for is lucrative speaking fees after 2028.
Conservatives might use him to run as one of them, as a "used to be", they eat this shit up.
best we can hope for is this potato turns into a pumpkin asap.
don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out, genocide loving loser.
help him gtfo now
Sounds like a win/win to me.
He's been tarnishing the Democrat brand since he arrived.
This MAGA hack needs to be kicked out yesterday and let him caucus with the lunatic right which he loves so much.
Bye.
How would that change anything?
Also, interesting way of saying that you are an agent of another country
It doesn't have to become anti-Israel, just anti-genocide. Would that be a deal-breaker for him? (I wouldn't nind seeing him replaced anyway.)
He lied to win the election. Fuck him and cutoff his socialized healthcare.

Who cares what this assbag will do. We know he had a incident (a stroke) where he finally realized he was gonna die one day. Most of us become more human when we face a possibility of death. He had one and became less human.
Well.. He hasn't really been in the Democratic party before.
Shame that stroke wasn’t more severe
I mean the brain damage is very severe with John, he's become a Republican
I mean the party has really already left him. No sane person who calls themselves a member of the Democratic party would consider him viable.
Please do, Senator Notabetterman
Crimes against humanity have roots deep in the American culture. If support for genocide stops, then that's it. I'll leave.
Good. Don't let the door hit your back on the way out.
Fetterman’s approval ratings in Pennsylvania have fallen to a dismal 19% among Democrats, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. That would make it extremely difficult for him to win a Democratic primary if he opts to run for re-election in 2028. His approval rating among Republicans was 77% in the poll, although it’s far from clear whether they would vote for him.
Lol yeah, he has been a DINO for a long time. He co-opted the democrat party to get elected, but never intended to follow party lines. He has pretty consistently voted with Republicans on key issues.
It’s debatable whether the stroke caused him to swing conservative, or if he was always a lying asshole. Not that there’s a difference.
Being pro-Israeli is the one common element that can finally bring the dems and repubs together again. /s
He left awhile ago
Please let the door injure him on his way out.
What's he still doing there anyway? Even by middle of the road Democrat standards, he's pretty shit.
Hey, since you're going outside, can you take the trash (other D.I.N.O.s) out with you? MKThXBai!
No danger, and also: no problem.
Dude already left. Fuck off and die already.
Compromised politician
He brings no benefit to the people of Pennsylvania or the democratic party. Bye Felicia.
