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.
