    How would that change anything?

    Also, interesting way of saying that you are an agent of another country

    Fetterman’s approval ratings in Pennsylvania have fallen to a dismal 19% among Democrats, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. That would make it extremely difficult for him to win a Democratic primary if he opts to run for re-election in 2028. His approval rating among Republicans was 77% in the poll, although it’s far from clear whether they would vote for him.

    Lol yeah, he has been a DINO for a long time. He co-opted the democrat party to get elected, but never intended to follow party lines. He has pretty consistently voted with Republicans on key issues.

      It’s debatable whether the stroke caused him to swing conservative, or if he was always a lying asshole. Not that there’s a difference.

    So his threat is basically that he’ll likely ruin his chances of holding office ever again if the party doesn’t do what he wants? What a weird flex.

      He’s currently polling at ~19% approval among Pennsylvania democrats, but ~80% with republicans. So if he sticks with democrat party, he has basically no chance of getting reelected. But republicans tend to do a little better in Pennsylvania (or at least, they used to, but Donny’s current term may have changed that,) so he could have a shot at winning reelection if he switches to Republican. Especially since Republicans love “I used to be a Democrat then I got some common sense” types of stories. He could ham it up for republican voters, and would likely do pretty well if he could convince them he has truly switched sides.

        Conservatives might use him to run as one of them, as a “used to be”, they eat this shit up.

    What’s he still doing there anyway? Even by middle of the road Democrat standards, he’s pretty shit.
