    He’s leaving because he has no chance of ever running as a democrat again and winning a primary, so he is trying to make a show of it. He decided to leave a long time ago, this is his attempt at stagecraft.

    Why would this be a threat? He already votes Republican on things that matter.

    Him swapping his “D” for an “R” is no material difference unless there’s something I’m unaware of.

    Fetterman currently polls at around 17% approval with democrats, but around 80% with republicans. And Pennsylvania went red in the last election. If he sticks with the democrat party, he has basically zero chance of getting elected.

    All of this is to say… He’s going to change parties regardless of what the party stance is. And good riddance. Dude is a DINO

    He hasn’t been a Democrat since he got the brain damage. No tears will be shed if you go bye bye

    This isn’t an airport, my dude, and you don’t have to announce your impending departure when you’re already so far gone. Beat it, quietly, and wait for the next primary.
