    I hate how progressives created him and now that they’ve turned his back on them they pretend he’s a democrat problem.

        Reality.

        Try it sometime.

        Bernie Sanders-Backed John Fetterman Prevails in Pennsylvania

          Joe Biden stumped for the guy, but you blame the progressives because you hate them.

          Maybe look at the entire reality next time. Everyone campaigned for him because Dr Oz is a nightmare.

          But I guess being a smug neoliberal is more important than facts.

            I’m a progressive. Fetterman is in the Senate because of grassroots support from Progressives. That Democrats stumped for him only proves that Democrats will support whomever they need to support to defeat Republicans. Progressives like me thought Fetterman was the man before the stroke made him a Republican. (I didn’t know about that whole racist shotgun interaction in 2020 though.)

            The great thing about being a smug progressive is you can just make up facts whenever you like.

              Oh, so Joe Biden and Barack Obama didn’t campaign for him?

              I guess it only counts when Bernie Sanders does it.

              Maybe you’ll enlighten me as to which facts I made up?

              Pathetic.

                All you’re admitting to is liberals help progressives out and progressives act like dicks to liberals.

                  So you’re incapable of answering the question about your accusation? Wow who would have guessed?

                  Maybe someone who hasn’t seen you do the same thing a billion times before? You called me a liar. Are you just going to pretend like you didn’t?

                  It is funny to see you cry about it, I’ll give you that.

          Yes this was before his brain damage. But he was probably always lying.

      He pretended to be (or was) someone else to his constituents. How is that progressives’ faults??

        It was also either him or Dr. Oz. I think we’re better off with Fetterman, out of the two.

          Agreed. Just like every MAGAt needs to be wiped from the face of the earth for supporting trump… 3 times, over the course of a decade.

      Interesting, could you provide a little more context? I know basically nothing about him other than seeing coverage of where he’s at now
