Fetterman is the poster child for why the US should allow "recall" elections.
At least for Congress-critters that are, for whatever reason, not the same person that was originally elected.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

See, I'd have said George Santos is the poster child for that.
Can we agree that despite how shitty he is, his actual attempt at being a politician is legitimately hysterical?
Like I think Andy Kaufman has haunted his soul just to troll American politics.
There should really be a way for a party or it's base to initiate a recall election. We've had some recent cases of Republicans trying to recall Democrats. It should be for "buyers remorse" and not "we want a do-over".
Honestly there should be both. Just make the trigger for the general recall an exceptionally high bar.

There was one that was more egregious. I don't remember her name, but this one formally announced that she changed sides after winning. To my knowledge, Johnny boy still calls himself a Democrat.
She took decades to change though. This dude did it in one term.
Deal with it? You mean, like, primary you and the 9 other simps who voted for this bill? Okay. That's good advice, thanks Fetterman.
Goes to show you what stroke does to a MF
Brain damage leads to conservatism. We have a shit ton of brain damaged idiots here in the US.
Lead, and microplastics will do that to a MF
Aaaaand the mask comes off
Can't they recall him for brain damage ?
Theres no way for the US to recall federal representatives. Some states allow recalls of state level reps, but none of the federal ones can be recalled legally.

That's like most of geriatric congress.
Fetterman is your standard anti-worker neo-liberal.
Fetterman also wanted to defund United Nations Relief and Works Agency, defended a certain Brian Thompson, referred to the hush-money case against Trump as “bullshit“, said that Democrats need to stop 'freaking out' over everything Trump does, and said that he would ‘fully support’ U.S. troops in Gaza.
Sounds like a mole
Calling it now, Fetterman is going to switch parties.
Maybe not soon, but someday.
He already did long ago
He just hasn't announced it yet because like this he's more useful for the Republicans
He barely needs to at this point.
I hope she will
Sounds exactly like what he said after he threatened a jogging black man with a shotgun.
Same advice to the victims in the most recent (as of this minute, anyway) mass shooting. 3 dead in NM.
Deal with it.
Disappointment has a shape, and it's John Fetterman.
Fuck that guy
Don't forget he met a head of state while wearing a hoodie and no one batted an eye. And shorts! Proud to be an American! /s
Ahh, this coming from a guy with the spine of a jellyfish.
Your terms are acceptable.
Get started primarying this asshole right now.
I hope this piece of shit is happy knowing he'll be a single term scumbag.
Couldn’t he be removed from his job due to clear and severe mental health issues and complications following his CVA?
Man, he really doesn't care if he's going to get reelected. Because he sure isn't, unless maybe if he runs as a Republican.
