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.

I truly wonder why.... dude completely flipped to conservative republican the second he got in office, it stuns me that the democrats haven't just kicked him out already considering he always breaks with them anyway.

Stroke and severe brain damage makes a perfect pedophile protector.

If he actually has brain damage from a stroke, surely thats a pretty clear case to have him removed from office by whatever mechanism.

There is no mechanism beside 2/3rds of Congress voting to remove.

Who from the Republican party are going to vote out the guy who is voting with them all the time?

Who from the Democratic party is going to vote out a DINO when many of them are also DINOs.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 4 points 2 days ago

Fair enough.

I can see why thats unachievable with the partisan politics of the current era.

he shills for AIPAC, which most of the DNC, they arnt removing him, the GOP find him a convenient ally.

i think it may be more simple than that. in his recovery from his stroke, the republican senators showed him more comradeship. it could be something that small.

he was always conservative, his stroke dis inhibited his true colors, it has shown people with stroke always have behavirous change to right wing fundamentalism. look at people like kevin sorbo, jim cavaziel, J peterson, and kirk cameron(he had it from drugs apparently), less known tia tequila, the filipino lady who had a show before who became a rabid right winger after a strok.

I forgot about Tila Tequila and have now read most of her wiki page.

Small correction: she didn't have a stroke, she overdosed which led to an aneurysm
