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

    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.

    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

    Links to news scroll that is constantly updated, not seeing the blurb. . .

    Oh well, I got it. Just an FYI, I suppose.

    Why does this always happen with progressive “icons”? Or is it just more noticeable when it does?

        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.

          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 Führer Trump 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.
