Fetterman was recovering from a stroke…. I don’t think comparing Biden’s performance to a recovering stroke victims is a very powerful positive message.

A stroke victim who abruptly decided to be a conservative after his recovery.

You guys sure love to identify anyone who supports Israel as a right wing conservative.

go ahead and ignore his anti immigrant and anti climate stances that he flipped on as well

anti immigrant

Allright?

Unchecked immigration does not work. As a neighbour to Sweden, I should know. Christ sake yesterday Sweden's former PM publicly apologised to us for the mess they've made for us in Scandinavia with their immigration bullshit.

What kind of purist lunacy is this? He's dissenting on immigration so he's not leftist? That's like trumpists shouting RINO. You're that person.

anti climate

A quick search tells me he's concerned about energy security, not anti-climate.

Here's a helpful perspective: if you don't have energy security, you don't have a functioning society. At the end of the day, your comfortable reddit-posting ass isn't going to give up any of your (many!) privileges, so how about don't be a hypocrite and realise you and him have the same policy stance. He's just honest.

You mean there are racists in northern Europe ???? 😲 

Assuming you're about 12 (based on the rest of your post), I'm surprised you're not more concerned about a future with runaway climate change. Stay in school.

Ah yes, calling others a racist and then trying to insult them. Telltale signs of internet brain rot.

Nah, I am in Denmark and there are plenty of racists here.

u/kongenavingenting 5d ago

There are racists everywhere.

Denmark, as with Scandinavia in general, is one of the countries with the least amount of racism.

😂 That's hilarious.

Unless you were implying that Norway should build a wall to keep those damn Swedes out, yes, I'm comfortable attributing anti-immigrant sentiment to blatant racism. At your tender age, though, you have time to broaden your horizons and grow out of this 🤞

There's this thing called nuance.

Speaking of age, it's something adults typically allow for.

And speaking of Sweden, ask them how unchecked immigration is going.

Ideals are all well and good, but as anyone can tell you filling a glass from a faucet is preferable to filling it with a water jet. It's all water, but one will destroy the glass due to other circumstances unrelated to it being water.

Just in case the analogy doesn't compute: it's the same with immigration, it's all well and good but if it's not done in a controlled manner something gets destroyed. It has nothing to do with skin color. The Americas had uncontrolled immigration before, you know. Tell me, what happened to the native population then? (Rhetorical question.)

Ps. Notice how I'm able to interact with you respectfully? You should try it, it's awesome. If you can't or won't that's strictly a personal failing, it's straight up ugly soul territory.

I don't respect you at all, so treating you with false respect would demean the ideal of honesty. Anyway i don't get paid to educate Norwegians or whatever, so I'll leave you to your native school system and hope some immigrant teacher is able to work some sense into you.

This is still the high point of this thread.

This sub is for US politics, don't bring your bile in here. The party clamoring for mass deportation already exists if that's your biggest issue. People aren't just voting on economic policies, social policies also matter. Not to mention Fetterman himself is married to a formerly illegal Brazilian woman.

So you were nosing in and commenting about something before even looking into it... That's odd

And the last line is basically the same as saying "he tells it like it is."

It's called "updating yourself".

I checked if there was anything I was unaware of, before replying.

Jesus Christ the sheer inability to offer the absolute barest of understanding is insane.
