Once again, fuck Fetterman! He is a wolf barely concealed in sheep’s clothing. I hope people recognize this not as a betrayal to the Democratic party, but to the United States.
Definitely wouldn’t be the first time for him.
Here’s another recent and very blatant example regarding the ban on state AI regulations
Maybe it’s my specific media consumption, but the most chaotic thing I’ve seen from the LA protests are police using excessive force on protesters
They did burn some Waymos. So, ya know, about 1/10th of a super bowl “victory celebration”
Oh look Fetterman showing his true colors again. What a shock /s
lol I consider that a prestigious endorsement of the protests tho
I hope his ass gets primaried next election, not sure if another democrat would win his district, but anythings better than having this guy pretending with the D next to his name.
The fact the Dems haven’t kicked him out of the party is insane
Not if you’ve been following the party’s actions over the last couple decades. Seems on brand.
I figured they would kick him out for being too on brand.
I think there were like 12 arrests total so far in Los Angeles for these protests so all of this is a bunch of pageantry at this point
That boy needs to go outside if he thought, THAT was chaos.
Seen worse at my local grocery’s
Links to news scroll that is constantly updated, not seeing the blurb. . .
Oh well, I got it. Just an FYI, I suppose.
I get so mad at that type of news article. AP news does it a lot too.
Yeah, it’s pretty lame. Should just link only to single articles so they can be updated.
Why does this always happen with progressive “icons”? Or is it just more noticeable when it does?
Who considers Fetterman a progressive icon? That dude has been a right leaning “moderate” at bestNVM, you mean Newsome? Probably because Trump is trying to instigate a civil war, and he needs red states to back him against a progressive boogey man.
I think back in an earlier election Fetterman was considered a worker’s rights pro-union progressive. He even was supported by Bernie I believe.
The other one I’m thinking of was Krysten Sinema who everyone thought was progressive but stabbed workers in the back.
I’m not sure Newsom has ever been considered progressive. He’s always been a pretty centrist Democrat.
To fetterman’s (limited) credit, he was literally brain damaged from a stroke a few years back right before he switched sides
This. There was a dramatic shift in his behavior pre-stroke to post-stroke. He also underwent treatment for depression afterwards. It definitely altered his brain.
Exactly. My father was a rational person until his TBI. Then he became a trumper and went full in on Ancient Aliens.
Newsom is the consummate neoliberal. He will stab both the left or the right in the neck any time he thinks it’s politically or economically beneficial for himself.
Progressive in terms of voters or in terms of the GOP?
If you’re not supporting
the FührerTrump and his policies, the GOP will claim you’re a “progressive” being paid by George Soros. Anyone disagreeing and from California might as well just be wearing a shirt that says “I’m with Soros,” from their perspective.My governor does this all the fucking time, and I’m in Louisiana. Anytime something doesn’t go his way, he claims it is due to outsiders like Soros influencing local politics. Yet he’s literally run televised ads for his own policies that were paid for by a Heritage Foundation affiliate, and somehow that’s ok.
I’ve been very disappointed by people like Newsome, and wasting time trying to compromise/reaching across the aisle to literal extremists bullshit that so many Dems have been playing since Jan, but I have to say, I truly believe he’s handling Trump trying to instigate a federal takeover in the smartest way possible.
Blue states are not winning a fist fight right now, and that’s why threatening to withhold federal taxes is the best strategy. I hope other blue states join him.
What Trump is expecting is taxation without representation. Why should anyone pay taxes to a king? This is America.
