Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What the fuck happened to him? He seemed so promising just a few years ago.
Brain damage. He had a stroke a few years ago and switched from liberal to conservative real fast.
He was always like this, he just became more abrasive after the stroke.
We just closed our eyes and looked the other way when he showed himself to be a rabid zionist and assumed he'd grown from when he chased a black man through neighborhood with a shotgun.
You see him go against AIPAC-backed corpo dems in the primary and interpreted some labor rhetoric and putting a hammer and sickle in his profile pic and it's easy to mislead yourself.
It's what happens when you don't do the critical part of critical support.
This is different from Sinoma who simply lied about all of her positions.
I think this is the most charitable interpretation.

I can forgive virtually everything else he's said... But suggesting Biden grant a pardon to a man who has shown no remorse or even an admission that his alleged crimes might be wrong is so far off the path of wisdom that i dont think its even fair to count his seat "blue".
Really, you could cut the headline to "Fetterman made his first post on truth social", and I'd still be disappointed, the rest just put a cherry on top.
Goddamn, either this guy was one hell of a fraud, or brain damage does really cause conservatism.
Brain damage doesn’t cause conservatism. I had a TBI as a teenager and went far left. My experiences in trying to get treatment completely radicalized me.
Was mostly a joke, I too suffered a brain injury a couple years ago and it did nothing but make me more vocal about my opinions (which has folks labelling me far left).

so he understands that trump is guilty, of treason, and he wants him off the hook.

I can't believe I shook this guy's hand at a campaign rally once. Fuck you and your hoodie, Fetterman.

Maybe the public is right to distrust institutions.
Congrats to Fetterman on being the New Joe Manchin. He'll never have to make another fundraising call again-- must feel good.
I imagine he has a bright future as the Dem or republican frontrunner in a future presidential election.

Did that stroke cause a personality change? Seems like he is suffering from magabrain.
There will always be just enough Democrats like him to fuck us over. Every time, without exception.
It’s almost like it’s INTENTIONAL or something!
Shit. You’re gonna piss off the libs by pointing this out.
Libs will be pissed no matter what these days. Either the Dems are controlled opposition or they're very good at looking like controlled opposition.
