This is why a very minimum requirement for an actual democracy includes recall voting.
Dude just straight up decided to betray his constituents and nothing can be done to remove him.

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!

I came here to mention this. Glad I'm not alone. I do not understand why we can't recall or impeach Congress members by vote.

Because then the people might recall them and put in politicians who do what they want. And that's bad for the people who don't want what the people want; the capitalist class whom finances their campaigns.

I would also add "no confidence" recall voting and a two term limit, so politicians can't form these decades-long relationships with their billionaire owners.

I hope this ghoul gets primaried into oblivion the next time he's up for reelection.
Something isn’t right with him.
Sounds like that stroke a few years ago left him with some serious brain damage, and radically changed his political opinions/ideology (are those two related???).
No, he was a racist and a zionist before he was elected, we just chose not to see it. The alternatives in the primary were just as bad. This was lost when Fetterman was the left most candidate in the primary.
Ah okay, fair enough.
I mourn that money that could have gone to a real progressive. Instead we have this.
This is who he's always been.

Wouldn't the more a accurate headline be "Fetterman is the only pro-Iran-War senator to claim to be a democrat?"
All it takes to be a Democratic elected official is to run as a party member and get elected. He did those things. He's a Democrat. The Democratic party is just a lot more right wing at its extremes (and overall) than folks like to admit.
Had a stroke and woke up republican.
Vote Fetterman's useless ass out of office. WTF, Fetterman, if there is a politician who should be vocal about socialized medicine, it should be you, because that is what saved your useless ass. Instead the fuck throws money at a damn war.
Seriously. I've got a FF plugin that automatically replaces "Fetterman" with "A Bag of Dicks Wearing a Hoodie"
It's a real time saver...

Why not just draft a bill that is a formal declaration of war or immediate cease and desist of war activities of it doesn't pass? Force the Republicans to formally stain themselves with war.
or immediate cease and desist of war activities of it doesn’t pass
That's not a thing, you can't make a law that has effects if it doesn't pass.
Well they ought to be able to. Make it like a vote of confidence in the war. Either we're at war or the process to continue trumps aggression fails.
So there is the War Powers Resolution act, which requires the president get congressional approval within 60 days of hostilities. Obama's admin made up some bullshit why it didn't apply to his wars, and Trump will probably ignore it all together.

I wish there was a recall process.
I don't get why the hell people appear to be progressive one moment and then become regressive the next.
Money, power, and brain damage.
Look at Kennedy, admitted brain parasite and he swings hard right and messed up.
I'm pretty sure Robby Kennedy is just the worm's host now. We're all at the mercy of that little Shai-Hulud.
He literally got brain damage and became Republican
Senator Sling Blade is an Israeli tool. He always has been.
Didn't this dude's brain literally break?
Sinema was just broken from the start.

Fetterman is not a democrat.
He is at best impaired mentally and at worst a GOP plant
Fetterman is NOT a Democrat. He just plays one on TV. Because brain damage.
He's proof conservativism is brain damage. It's been an interesting case study at least.
I hope nobody in PA tries to make rissoto.
Traitorous bastard
Never trust someone from York County
This is more like, "Fetterman is only Democrat to be seriously primaried for again rejecting effort to halt Iran war."
He’s an Israeli backed pedophile
Fuck him for proving if you look weird and evil, you usually are
There's no need for congress to pass this. The constitution already requires it. But of course the courts are captured so they won't enforce it.
