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!

Crimes against humanity have roots deep in the American culture. If support for genocide stops, then that's it. I'll leave.

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Fucking piece of shit. Just leave anyway. Literally ZERO Democrats will give a shit about John Fetterman.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

If he has another stroke, he'll probably start murdering Palestinians personally and cut out the middle man.

[–] dizzle18@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

What are you fucking waiting for?

Fuck you dirtbag, go away like the garbage you are.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

Well, he'd have to join first...

Remind me.
He did have a TBI or something, after being elected, that completely changed his personality and views on things, right?

[–] SynonymousStoat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (16 children)

He had a stroke back in 2022.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Please let the door hit you on the way out cunt

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Lol like anyone thinks he's a Democrat.

This fucking pile of shit needs to go Pennsylvania.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

He should leave the planet entirely. By that I mean death. He should die. In terror and pain. Like the average Palestinian child.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Fucking dishonorable Klingon from the jump; can’t believe no one else noticed.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

For all the desire to say, "good riddance to bad rubbish", this does create an electoral problem for Dems in the Senate. And I can't help but wonder if the GOP found something to buy him off with.

If the Dems are going to have any shot at taking control of the Senate this cycle and having some power to check the worst excesses of Trump, they need every seat they can get. Fetterman going officially Nazi means the Dems are going to have to win all the close races and even some not so close ones. It would be hilarious to see Texas go blue. But, as poor a candidate as Paxton is. And even with Talarico polling a slight lead, my money is on Texas being a disappointment for Dems again.

And I can't help but wonder if the GOP found something to buy him off with.

AIPAC bought him off first, and now Trump is offering to fund his entire reelection campaign if he decides to switch parties. So, yeah.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

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.

He's gonna have to switch parties if he's planning to be re-elected.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

jesus christ, LEAVE!!!!

[–] almost_genocide@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Mr. Fetterman if someone campaigns on throwing your ass in prison you can bet I'll be supporting them. Get fucked.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

He's already left.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You should just fuck off and leave politics altogether, Judas...

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

...is what I'd say if this guy hadn't already switched parties the moment he took office. He is a traitor who will be remembered poorly, before not being remembered at all.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

This shit is bizarre. I never thought it would be so overt.

[–] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Don't threaten us with a good time, John…

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

GOOD.

You shouldn't be a politician at all for how clearly brain damaged and pro-genocide you are.

[–] Onyxonblack@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

What a stupid loser bitch.

I remember getting downvoted to hell when I used to say “this guy just wears hoodies and shorts and makes a big deal out of acting like a regular Joe, but he’s a silver spoon nepo baby who’s playing you all”

I don’t feel great that I was right, but I saw his bullshit from miles away, it’s the same as when a political takes off his tie and rolls up his sleeves to pretend he’s one of us.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

And his voting patterns wouldn't change at all

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Don't let the door hit you in the ass, headcase.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

And what a loss it would be!

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Go on then... Follow through with your bitch threat...
