He's not breaking ranks for this, he's been standing on the other side of the party line for a while.
It would be newsworthy if Fettermen took any stance popular with a dem voting base at this point.

I regret voting for him.
You shouldn’t. We were all fooled. His actions don’t reflect on you.
Just don’t do it again.
I feel this way sometimes, then remember what the alternative was and don't feel as bad. (To save the lookup for those that don't know, Mehmet Oz was the republican candidate in 2022).
I'm in the same boat with you. I voted for him in the primary and I voted for him in the senate election. I gave money to that asshole.
But I don't regret it because I voted for what I thought was the best option at the time. I voted for a progressive candidate against a centrist Democrat. I voted for a progressive candidate over a whackjob celebrity conservative. And I'll keep doing that in every local, state, and national election, and candidates will know that's the path to winning my vote.
I didn't vote for the guy or the party, I voted for the platform, and next election I'll be voting for someone else. This piece of shit won't survive a primary challenge, and for that I'm optimistic.
To think he was out there acting like AOC and Bernie were his spirit guides before he got elected. No integrity.
You shouldn’t. We were all fooled. His actions don’t reflect on you.
Fetterman has been and will be a traitor to the US like the rest of Maga. The fact that they keep saying he's a Democrat bothers the shit out of me.
If the party hasn’t kicked him out then he is
They wouldn't dare. That would be impolite. We need to reach across the aisle, and that means capitulating to everything the Republicans want. They'll tire themselves out at some point.
Brain damage causes conservatism.
You can't "break ranks" with a party you don't identify with. He's MAGA. Has been for years.
Severe brain damage really unlocked something in him.
Just switch parties already, you brain-damaged sack of shit.
Man I took so many down votes over fetterman. I never bought into his bullshit. I used to point out he was a silver spoon nepo baby who is useless as a person without his family connections. I used to say that his hoodies and shorts in the house was nothing but a distraction over his lack of substance or honesty. “Hey everyone look at my shorts, im totally one of you!”
I feel vindicated
Can't he be impeached or something based on mental issues?
Only by other members of congress who are fine with who he is. In terms of federally elected politicians, it's in fact impossible for the constituents to recall them. Some states allow you to recall state level politicians but it remains illegal to recall a federal one.
An example of this is George Santos, who is the only Republican to have been expelled
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the actual comedy Andy Kaufman level genius of George Santos?
Like it wasn't that he wanted to be a comedian, but he has by far the most hilarious character in political history.
Like lying so prolifically and absurdly about everything from his career to his heritage to surviving assassination attempts... it stops being deceit and starts feeling like satire. His deadpan delivery, surreal contradictions (like being both a far-right politician and a Brazilian drag queen), and refusal to break character even after being exposed create a kind of involuntary performance art that skewers politics, media, and celebrity culture in one breath. From scamming a disabled vet’s dog fund to monetizing his downfall on Cameo....
Truly, one of the most comedic characters humanity has seen.
He just proved that anyone can make it in politics.
...though it will really help if you have an "R" after your name.
The reason was he grifted the grifters.
He frauduantly claimed to have $x donations already, which got him $y from the RNC.
Then he won the primary with just the $y.
If it wasn't for that, he'd still be in office.
Baby, if mental issues had any bearing on whether someone could be considered unfit to govern our entire government would need to step down. The inmates run the asylum.
What a cunt. What a brain damaged cunt.
Imagine somehow being worse than Dr. Oz...
Genuine question: what happened to this guy? I remembered when he got elected it was kind of AOC blue collar vibes. Did he change or something else?
You can tell he massively shifted after the stroke. Brain damage and MAGA fit so well together.
Brain wash or brain damage are the only ways people support right wing politics unless they're fundamentally psychopathic people
We were sold a lie. Seems he's always been a grifter.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting episode. So basically it wasn't the stroke like everyone parrots. He was always a weirdo.
Chasing after a jogger with a shotgun, and vandilizing a local business (both as major) is pretty shitty behavior.
He himself said something to the effect of he could literally feel the progressive part of him leave his body after his stroke, so it seems a lot like brain damage removes your empathy or makes you a greedy war mongering asshole.
Didn't this guy already leave the party already?
Right? Like I feel like I've read how he's "broken ranks" like 93 times already.
I think the list of times he's voted with the Democrats would be shorter/more notable.
Traitorous ogre
Is there a viable D challenger to unseat him in next opportunity?
Fuck you DINO traitor. Have another stroke, maybe this one will do the job you sack of shit.
Only reason this is funny is because Trump backed out of the arms agreement we had with Iran in 2018…its like he created his own drama and can’t remember it cause he is so stupid.
That's his way of doing things. He did the same with USMCA (an agreement he himself signed in 2018) when he broke the agreement and put tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
He is completely untrustworthy. He will break any agreement and demand a better deal whenever he thinks he has the upper hand. No one should trust him to hold any deal or treaty.
Over the Iran attack? I'm pretty sure he broke ranks years ago.
Of course he does. Useless fucking gonk.
The establishment prefers candidates with cognitive issues. Easier to manipulate.
Ugh I'm so tired of this shitbag
Fuck that quisling fuck. And I sent him money before his election. He can kiss my ass from now on. I'm giving money to anyone who primaries that fucking fuck.
