I unfortunately live in the state this oaf came from.
I basically never read the local news for like "news news" you know. Because it's all hyper right wing. But I accidentally caught a headline today about him and it was presenting him neutrally, maybe even slightly positively (calling him by his title Sen. Fetterman, extending that extra respect).
And it dawned on me like "ohhhh this is how he keeps being this way. He thinks most people like him!"
Well, one of us is delusional at least. Him or me, I dunno, but I feel like people are not exactly pleased with him considering he not only went super pro-Zionist, which I must regretfully admit most Americans still don't (yet) see as that much of a negative, but he also dropped all the "goodies" that were supposed to give him room for Zionism. Dude just became a far right wing Republican after literally years of pushing for unions and stuff. And yes of course there were flags, but not to this extent. I mean I do wonder sometimes if Oz would've been less pro Israel. I mean he's Turkish and I know the Turkish people are broadly very pro-Palestinian. He certainly couldn't be worse than Fetterman. I won't even be surprised at this point if that dense fucker gets up, forehead so huge it's blocking the top half of his vision, and manages to say "no... abortion. I voted!" then Lindsey Graham will bring him a nice lollypop and pat him on the head. Give him a big blue lollypop to suck on and one those little tiny individual sized Israel/USA flags to wave around to keep John entertained until the senate is done.
I can't even keep typing what I'm thinking but for those who have read "Of Mice and Men"... you know where my mind is. That's right, gloves full of vaseline
My union endorsed him, and I even gave money to his campaign. Really sold me on never voting again. I expected at least him to push so pro labor bills, but instead he took a year off and came back caring about nothing but being unconditionally supporting a genocidal state and doubling down every time he was criticized.
Yeah, dude isn't even playing the cynical game correctly. If you want to maximize shill dollars and also generally have people not want you look at the rabbits you vote Israel in DC and also vote and push bills that are pro union, medicare for all or at least something on that side. It seems like he's just a giant baby though and never actually supported much of what he, well, supported. If all it took was some of his constituents telling him a genocidal freak for him to totally abandon all of those previous positions, I can only assume he's either got some serious emotional issues going on or he never actually gave a shit.
As far as voting goes, yeah, I mean what can you do... liberals always backstab you. Not usually this quickly and this much of a 180 but what can you do...
I'd say still vote in local stuff and the state too. Especially if your county or township or whatever are purple. The libs in local government absolutely suck shit most of the time, but if the choice is some psycho Jesus mom who wants to ban all phallic shaped foods in school and someone who's just there to do the job, well, I guess that's the bar this country has.
I might go join John with my eyes closed and thinking of rabbits
