Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
I feel like the 180 he pulled should be considered a form of fraud and his constituents should have a method to recall and prosecute him for it.
He seemed like a Democrat with a spine who wasn’t afraid to piss people off. I liked that. Now I just see him as a disappointment. He doesn’t even make good soundbites.
Otters are a keystone predator for mega-invertebrates. Collapse in their populations allowed the modern democratic party to rise.
We wont see center right politicians with spines until the otter population is restored.
He never knew why he was popular and thought it was because he didn't wear suits and spoke truth to power. Then we all saw he was just a big guy who was eager to please and gave in to the right wing crazy.
I liked him because he wasn't Dr. Oz. Now he's praising Oz and the rest of the MAGAt take over.
I truly wonder why.... dude completely flipped to conservative republican the second he got in office, it stuns me that the democrats haven't just kicked him out already considering he always breaks with them anyway.
Stroke and severe brain damage makes a perfect pedophile protector.
If he actually has brain damage from a stroke, surely thats a pretty clear case to have him removed from office by whatever mechanism.
There is no mechanism beside 2/3rds of Congress voting to remove.
Who from the Republican party are going to vote out the guy who is voting with them all the time?
Who from the Democratic party is going to vote out a DINO when many of them are also DINOs.
Don’t need a Fetterman to know which way the wind is blowin’, Happy Spring, everybody!
