  1. Dude isn’t up for re-election until 2028 and hasn’t even announced he intends to run.

    Yeah, some good candidates should prepare to run in the primary, but there’s no guarantee they’ll even be up against him.

  2. I don’t buy for a second this narrative that he was good once but “turned” after he had a stroke.

    I think what actually happened is he wore a hoodie, he was pro-weed, he made some woke noises. So liberal Reddit boosted him like Lady Dimitrescu’s boobs.

    All it shows is how on-the-surface they were. If you got him away from the cultural displays and got him talking about matters that affected your day-to-day living, you would soon have spotted the rat.

    wasn’t he involved in a racial thing a few years before running for office? I seem to remember that he hunted a black man while in his car and carrying a gun, because they were in the “wrong neighborhood” or something

    My focus has been just contacting this office with the simple “resign, you jagoff” message.

    He should never win office of any sort again in his life. He makes stupid excuses and blames mental health issues on his non-attendance.

    I respect that he has depression issues and a TBI. That’s all whatever, but if you can’t do your job due to those issues, then you have no business being an elected official.

    Also, he’s a turncoat bastard and that’s just who he is.

  6. There **needs** to be a mechanism in place where if a candidate runs on a party platform, wins, and then changes their entire plan to be essentially the other political party in everything but name, they can be **REMOVED** from office for Fraud and lying to voters.

    Ever notice this always is a one way direction? You **never hear** of a Republican running and changing to a Democrat. **100% of the time**, it’s someone pretending to be a Democrat when they are really a conservative Republican in disguise.

    To be clear, I’m talking about more when candidates win as a Democrat, and then announce at a conference after they are changing to the Republican Party. That shit needs to be stopped.

    Imagine if by some miracle Democrats manage to take back the senate and this asshole switches parties. I can see it. He’s such a phony.

  8. I think he would be happier living deep in the Cambodian jungle with a cult of armed followers. He should pursue this at any time.

  9. Dude is a total cuck. Not surprised to see critics making the same claims with increasing frequency.

  10. That needs to be done. His stroke radically altered who he is (which is something I experienced with my own father after he had his stroke).

  11. Trump ‘I’m taking your country whether you like it or not’ What a disgusting piece of shit president you have

    He’s likely to follow in Kirsten Sinema’s footsteps and claim that his distaste for partisanship is the reason he won’t run for office again. Fuck these phony, superficial progressives.

    Pennsylvania is a closed primary state. So all you independents out there, if you want to see your candidate in the general election you need to change your party registration so you can vote for that person in the primary. If you want Fetterman’s eventual opponent to win then you have to vote for them. That’s the only way to get rid of him and any establishment politicians for that matter. Vote them down in the primary so they can’t be an option in the general.

  14. Given the many health problems Fetterman has had during his time in the Senate, it may be wise for him to step aside and into the pasture.

  15. I donated to his campaign back then and I would wholeheartedly support whoever primaries him.

    Who do I donate money to get rid of this treacherous turncoat (I’m not from PA)?

  17. I haven’t seen a bigger turncoat in years, dude lied his ass off to get elected then sold out the working class to get rich. 

    He dresses like a fucking bum as well.  Just a big middle finger to them every day he’s in office.
