    Fetterman really is a mixed bag, and to be honest, I kind of like that. Life should be full of nuanced characters, I shouldn’t have to decide between the same cookie cutter pieces of shit we have every election.

    He’s a piece of shit for supporting Israel so staunchly, don’t get me wrong, but there’s also plenty to like about him.

      When I worked for Allegheny county I ended up in a number of meetings with him, and have spent time speaking with him casually. What he did in Braddock was top notch governance. He pushed a very progressive agenda, and fought with everyone in the local government over it, but he mostly got his way, and stopped Braddock from being a food desert, increased the graduation rates, and a number of other major QOL metrics. He is very pro-labor, and pro-labor organization.

      He did support Israel, but he admitted that a lot of what was happening there left a bad taste in his mouth. I don’t if it was the stroke, or he sold out to AIPAC, but he has turned hard line on that, apparently. I

    If anyone cares to read “Project 2025,” it’s a blueprint for creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people still living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.

    That’s a bad thing, by the way.

        Universe where an armed police force are Judges, Juries, and Executioners.

        Following a nuclear war in 2070, the United States is reduced to MegaCity 1, covering the Eastern Seaboard, and MegaCity 2, covering the West Coast.

        In between is a nuclear wasteland called “The Cursed Earth”.

        If you have the time, watch the movie “Dredd” (2012). It’s Karl Urban being fucking awesome.

      He also shares a very large portion of the core beliefs of the old Republican party. In the 1960s he would’ve likely been considered center right.

      It’s crazy that endorsing medicare and social support structures makes him a Democrat now.

        It’s not crazy, it’s intentional. Poor education combined with the lack of social structure creates a voting population ripe with anger over the shitty system and looking to blame someone instead of learn why it’s like that.

        Conservative media is specially made to take uneducated and rage bl
