After his flip to the dark side post election, I honestly don't know why there aren't a lot more people cosplaying as Republicans. That side is so easily duped that anyone who comes out faking hate for moinorities, or claiming the government is a swamp you could easily win and then just flip afterwards.
I do have a friend who ran for county judge as a Democrat and was defeated. Four years later, she ran as a Republican and won. Her politics are the same as ever, but that (R) on the ticket makes the locals fill in her bubble every time she's up for reelection.
That is awesome.
To wholeheartedly promote Republican policies requires brain damage, which we don't yet have the technology to reverse.
I could easily lie about that stuff and be convincing enough to enought morons to make them think I'm on their side. You live near enough conservatives and christians and you learn how to fake it.
Literally the opposite of what he was elected to do. Such a shame. He’s a piece of shit, and I hope the worst for him.
I voted for him and I've never felt so betrayed by a politician I was actually kinda cool with being in a position of power.
Brain damage made him go from sorta quietly right leaning Democrat to a full-blown Republicrat.
At least we know definitively that brain damage is what makes people support conservative views.
The dementia epidemic is what’s going to start WW3
I wish there was a way to get them out of office. Too bad the US system doesn’t have a vote of no confidence.
I guess the only way is to sue him for misrepresentation since he changed parties after being voted by the Democrats.
The war powers resolution failed 49 to 50 as the Pennsylvanian was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans who control the Senate. Three Republicans — U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, of Kentucky; Susan Collins, of Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska — voted with Democrats.
Saying that Fetterman's vote was deciding is silly, when it was a 49 to 50 vote - every vote was deciding.
And the Republican dissenter votes are purely performative. They pull this shit all the time, with the same persons. Who would never vote against their party, if the vote could truly fail. Especially Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski do this all the time. Hence the people here blaming the Democrats for being captured are sheep being tricked by the Republican performance.
Trump and Epstein raped those kids
Yep, it's all in the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM)
Piece of absolute shit.
My conspiracy theory is he is paid to be the sacrificial lamb, if it weren't him it would be someone else. I am more angry at Schumer and then the rest of the Democrats for letting Schumer lead.
Yeah this is a well known tactic in the US government. Backdoor dealings outline how to make a split vote and pick a fall guy to protect the party's image.
I.e. the Democrats failing to stop Trump's war in Iran a few weeks ago where some random nobody was the fall guy that time. It looks like Democrats tried but failed and they can blame it on some inconsequential Rando who isn't up for reelection
The military industrial complex owns everything. The machine exists for their benefit.
This fucking traitor is a disgrace to his party and his country
Traitor, sure, but not to his party. The Democrats always have a designated villain so that they can pretend like they tried to do something, or stop something, but oh shucks looks like we just didn't have the votes this time :(
Republican Senator John Fetterman
There needs to be recalls on elected officials who drastically change their views like this fuckup.
He basically turned into a Con and still got to remain in his position!
"Rotating villain strategy" would like a word with you
Can’t everyone just run as Republican? Then vote whatever you actually want.
Sure...what harm would you like to inflict onto what group?
Harm1.
Harm2.
Harm3.
Group1.
Group2.
Group3..
Let me guess....he voted not to limit his war powers?
correct
cast the deciding vote against the latest effort to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to attack Iran
Parties (and/or the people) really need a way to recall member that runs on bad faith and switches after elections. From Sinema to Fetterman, there's always at least one fraud in the DNC.
The DNC always have a "bad democrat" that jump lines while letting all the other mainline democrats vote in
Duh. Fetterman is a MAGA dempublican ... nearly republican. Hell he practically might be full blown MAGA republican soon enough. He got the TDS now. Brain damage done him in.
Why are you guessing? The headline says that already.
He’s GOP. Let’s drop the DINO nonsense. Refer to him as a Republican.
There are no Republicans anymore, that was just their larval stage before they morphed into their final form - MAGA. Republicans should only be referred to in an historical or scholarly context.
The Republican party is as dead as the Whigs. They're all MAGA now.
I'm seeing fifty complete cunts.
Can we start calling him Fecalman? Cause he's like a walking piece of shit yeah?
Fetidman works too
Its just too fishy that there is always, conveniently, a singlr dem vote in the senate to support right wing bullshit.
That's called rotating villain strategy.
So if he had another stroke, would he go further right-wing, or would it reverse the process?
More brain damage would take him further right because right wing views are caused by damaged brains... He'd become full maga....
What a fucking piece of shit.
...do you think he's been caught up in the pedo-asset honeypot?..
Nah I think this is just him doin it for love of shame
Yet another unfortunate Fetterman L
Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, and now Fettermann. - All Democrats in name only who are really Republican plants.
What do Democrats have as alternatives? Liz "fucking" Cheny and Adam Kinzinger??? Marjorie Taylor Greene???
😞
No, Manchin is very different from Sinema and Fetterman.
There was no chance of a progressive, or really even a democrat in Manchin's seat. Manchin never really changed what he was.
Sinema ran as a progressive and then went mask off. ~~Similarly for Fetterman, just a slightly different cause.~~
Bet he fucked kids
John Fetty Wap Man is a Republican.
