I feel like this is shaping up to be a Fetterman 2.0 where the “working class” winner doesn’t rise to the challenge once elected.
Which is still a better option than Susan Collins actively destroying America from the inside out.
He's about as anti fetterman as his type gets. He literally called fetterman out directly recently.
If you want to understand what the state of Maine sees in him. I cannot recommend more ignoring what the mass media is feeding you. And to just go listen to interviews with the man or listen to him speak. Don't allow yourself to be passively manipulated by others about some nebulous thing you are told to fear. When you can listen to them and decide for yourself. The recent sexual assault allegations blew up in the New York Times face. He hasn't taken a single Cent from AIPAC and has called out Israel directly. They are desperate to bring him down.
In a field of Shifty hucksters. The man is at least genuine if flawed.
His interview on Jon Stewart's podcast was pretty interesting.
I think he's gonna make better votes in Congress than Fetterman just because he's been a lot more specific on policy commitments while campaigning than Fetterman ever was, but I also don't see how you can have the military career he did and then later say "It is reasonable to ask people to trust me with political power" and actually be a fully reformed human being, so I bet we get a scandal where he's caught in a racist groupchat with his security detail after he's elected or something like that
Still, I'd rather have someone who says dumb shit but votes good than someone like Collins who does the exact opposite
He also hasn’t had a stroke.
Fetterman needs to fuck off to an assisted living with the octogenarians of congress so we can fix this fucking country.
What evidence do you have for this conclusion?
I wish him the best of luck. If he losses by a slight margin it will be an endless game of whar ifs.
