May I vote now for Fetterman?
Living in Pennsylvania you can smell fear whenever you pass a Republican.

“There’s enough sedition-curious members already,” Fetterman replied.

Clever, in addition to his commanding visage. John Fetterman seems to understand that people who run for office ought serve, not take. Expect a Senator Fetterman (D-PA) in the near future.

HOT DAMN! I’ve been fan of Fetterman’s since he was mayor of that small town and setting the media on their ears with his “this is how I see things and I don’t give a fuck what you think about it.” Lucky, lucky, Pennsylvanians.

Biden needs to offer Toomey an ambassadorship and get Fetterman in the Senate now.

Give him Newt’s gig at the Vatican. Rome would be really hard to pass up!

I’m just waiting to watch Fetterman walk onto the Senate floor: those rotten old GOP assholes will shit themselves with fear.

Grew up in PA and started voting there. Never voted for a winning Dem candidate. Of course I never voted for a winning Republican either. I would love to vote for John Fetterman.

Now I vote in Az from .de and now have helped vote in two Dem Senators. That sure feels great. Although Sinema has been somewhat of a disappointment. Her newsletters are typically a noun, a verb, something related to the military, as if nothing else exists. I am hoping Kelly will be less annoying.

This is great news! I’m sure it will be a nasty campaign from the Con side given the crap they pulled during this last one…I also think Fetterman is up to the task!

Imagine John Fetterman going toe-to-toe with Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and the rest of the Whole Sick GQP Crew in the well of the Senate. Poor little fellas will need their diapers changed.

Imagine Fetterman unfettered.
Even under constraints he manages to make the right wingers more than nervous, he is everything they wish they were but aren’t.
This should signal the start of BIG changes.
We are on a razor’s edge as far as the future of Republican electability.
If we can field smart, dedicated and STRONG candidates, men AND women like the Fettermans, we will own that future.
