I hope and pray that Biden wins. For the sake of maintaining American democracy, NATO and the sanity of the planet.

But Fetterman is not someone I will ever listen to.

Yeah he’s pro worker and isn’t a corrupt corporate stooge, but he thinks Israel should defend itself so obviously he has lost all credibility

And pro-Israel a winning strategy in his state.

That’s why fighting conservatives is always an uphill battle: conservatives fall in line. If a Democrat does one thing liberal voters disagree with, he’s the exact same as Trump.

Trump supporters are still voting for Trump (and are voting) regardless of that debate. The fact that some Democrats’ response to a bad debate (by someone who’s been already been accused of weak leadership) is to openly put forth other candidates shows that Democrats can’t agree on leadership, and it plays right into the GOP’s hands.

Fetterman’s right, Dems should be circling the wagons and spinning the narrative about abortion, the Supreme Court, and the eroding of democracy. Not entertaining this.

Well that's on liberals then for being naive frankly. They also gobble up a lot of bullshit media just like Republicans and love to get reactionary as can be.
