I mean you basically left the left the moment you had a stroke.

MODERATORS
He was never with the left. He succeeded where Platner failed: using the desperation for left wing politics to advance right wing causes
He only ever appeared left because he hired a bunch of young people to run his campaign.
As soon as he was elected he stopped appearing to be progressive because he either fired his election staff or they quit when they realized who he really was.
Before he was a senator he was a mayor of a small town in the middle of PA and held a black man at gunpoint because the man was going for a run in the town he was mayor of.
He's always been a piece of shit.

Bye 👋 He's essentially a Republican anyhow.
The chances of Dems adopting such a stance are approximately 0. All Fetterman is doing here is proudly proclaiming who he works for.
It’s a shame PA doesn’t allow recall elections for elected officials, and I sincerely hope Pennsylvanians tell Fett to fuck off to Tel Aviv in the ‘28 election.

this is why there needs to be a recall mechanism for congress and senators. Dude ran as a Democrat and is now saying "haha, Ima go be a republican now" and all the people who voted for him can do nothing for 6 fucking years.
Our representatives should be afraid when they don't represent us. Organize and give public servants reasons to resign when they betray their electorate. And if they don't like that, they can make a law that allows for recalls. Not sure if there are many other ways to get that law passed

Man. Brain damage did a number of him. Gabby Gifford was shot in the head and didn't turn conservative
I've seen comments from people in his constituency that said the stroke didnt change shit, that he's always been a piece of shit, even before he was in public office.

Because he was already a shitbags before his stroke. The stroke just made it harder for him to hide his power level.
Fetterman was just a rich kid who's daddy's money has backed his entire career. His dad is the owner and CEO of an insurance company and is a long time big Republican donor. Fettermans entire career has been faking blue collar credentials while being an asshole contrarian.
When he was mayor he raised prices for locals by turning his town into a vacation town for his rich friends. He also held a random black jogger at gun point because he suspected him of doing a crime. His constituents and coworkers hated him.
As Lt governor he barely showed up to work and missed one third of the mandatory state Senate sessions he was supposed to oversee. The guy has always been a lazy asshole, the stroke just made it come to the surface.

Thanks for disclosing your priorities
Man, fuck Israel*.
*the current Israeli government and those who support it.
**I’m sure there are people who live in Israel who are very nice.
If polling is anything to go by, the vast majority are rabid fascists. But you are technically correct, there is a minority.

Bye, bitch.
Why wait? Just fuck off already.
So he will sell out his own countrymen for loyalty another country? What happened to when you could be hanged for being a traitor?

Jesus dude, you didn't need to sweeten the deal, I was already for it!
He's functionally a Republican anyway. Why spend Dem party campaign mpney on him?
Thought you left already? Fuck outta here, supermutant looking ass.
Please, DNC! Be officially pro-Jew, anti-Israel.
Sounds like a win/win to me.
YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIT.
Fuuuuuuuck you, dude
One more reason to oppose Israel. Not that even more reasons are necessary.
Oh god yes please fuck all the way off.
-- sincerely, a Pennsylvanian.
So his threat is basically that he'll likely ruin his chances of holding office ever again if the party doesn't do what he wants? What a weird flex.

Good.
Go away, nobody likes you.
Stroke made you evil.
Bye.
He's been tarnishing the Democrat brand since he arrived.
This MAGA hack needs to be kicked out yesterday and let him caucus with the lunatic right which he loves so much.
It doesn't have to become anti-Israel, just anti-genocide. Would that be a deal-breaker for him? (I wouldn't nind seeing him replaced anyway.)
Bye bitch
Yuuuup. I think it's well past time to let Temu Uncle Fester go.
Fuck that fucking fucker to the highest of Fuckativity!
"Man who is leaving the party anyway tries to get extra concessions on his way out." FTFY
Why are Israel issues more relevant than domestic issues affecting millions of Americans?

help him gtfo now
Who cares what this assbag will do. We know he had a incident (a stroke) where he finally realized he was gonna die one day. Most of us become more human when we face a possibility of death. He had one and became less human.
