This isn’t an airport, my dude, and you don’t have to announce your impending departure when you’re already so far gone. Beat it, quietly, and wait for the next primary.
He hasn’t been a Democrat since he got the brain damage. No tears will be shed if you go bye bye
Gtfo already! No one likes you, except the republicunts. You are a traitor.
How does one stumble across townflex? A ‘global news, breaking news, entertainment news, financial insights, music review, and lyrics breakdown’ company based out of Ghana with a single employee.
This “reporter” has no existence that I can find outside of this website. No photo, but she does have a green checkmark beside her name on her reporter profile page though. Townflex verified, I guess.
There’s very little chance that this site isn’t AI regurgitation of real reporting.
Edit: answered my own question. This user is from this website and seems to be here exclusively to promote it.
This system is a pile of shit.
If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you? Shouldn’t that be cause for removal in its own? You work for me, idrgaf what your opinions are.
John Fetterman is also a piece of shit.
Edit: you said pile while I only mentioned piece. He certainly is multiple pieces so apologies for not piling on.
Lower levels have “recall elections” for this explicit reason.
They’re not built into Senatorships, because people weren’t even supposed to vote for Senator’s, state governments were supposed to just appoint them as the states representatives
The house was for the people to have representation, not the Senate.
We’re way past the point of salvaging our system, there’s a reason the founder’s wanted to redo the constitution every 20 years
Lower levels have “recall elections” for this explicit reason.
States have rolled a lot of that back, or made it so prohibitively expensive to attempt that only billionaires can oust a state politician they don’t like.
I might argue that the problem isn’t Fetterman specifically, but the stakes at play when someone like Fetterman is a singular representative for 13M people. One Fetterman in a sea of politicians would be annoying but incidental. One in a tiny cabal that’s on a tipping point of partisan control is glaring in it’s corruption.
If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you?
You have to wait six years, and then you get to primary.
This is because the Founding Fathers, in all their wisdom, determined that loud patriotic farting noises
Fetterman has a, literal, Israeli handler with him all the time.
Heard about this guy on Chapo.
American politics is wild
He exited a long time ago…
Don’t let the door hit you etc. etc.
“Any party switch risks shifting the balance of power in a closely divided Senate.”
No, no it does not.
53 Republicans
45 Democrats
2 Independents that caucus with Democrats.Assuming Mitch is really dead and they are holding that announcement until 8/3 to avoid a special election, that would vacate the seat:
52
45
2Fetterman flips:
53
44
2No actual difference.
The threat is an excuse for other neoliberal senators to say:
See! We have to support genocide so we don’t lose numbers, it’s not that we want to…
The only correct answer to threats like these is:
We don’t negotiate with terrorists
If he’s gonna leave, make him do it.
As a Republican no one will care about him, all his lobbying money goes away and he’s just another Republican crazy lost in the crowd.
All his money and attention comes from the D by his name. And he can’t beat a maga Republican in a Republican primary.
You also have to love how PA Democrats are like “Don’t threaten us with a good time!”
“Polling indicates 57% of Pennsylvania Democrats want Fetterman to exit the party.”
Those 2 independants caucus with Democrats and would vote for their candidate for Leader, so the current margin once Mitch departs is 52/47 (or, 2 1/2 seats).
The real problem for Fetterman “flipping” is after the election. While there’s every possibility the Democrats will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, if they claw back a few Senate seats then the balance may end up 50/50 (or even 51D/49R). That’s when Republicans will put on a huge pre$$ure campaign to get someone to defect and promise them all sorts of shit to bail them out of election consequences.
Well as I understand hes been voting Republican since the beginning so…true colors?
Don’t threaten me with a good time, Mr. Jon Brain Damage.
So, nothing is going to change? Because he already isn’t one in any way but a label he decided he had.
No. Stop. Don’t.
