      Let’s hope, but so far the odds are good he will not be the lefty people think he is.

        There’s nothing to indicate he will about-face like Fetterman. He will endlessly compromise, concede, and triangulate like AOC does and that’s what he has been doing, (eg Tisch). That’s the inevitable reality of being a socialist politician in a capitalist state and why Marx advised against actually getting elected, especially to an executive. Believing he was secretly a fraud all along is Hollywood brained.

          In what ways did you predict that Fetterman would flip prior to being elected?

            Fetterman never said he was a socialist or anti-zionist. People only ever liked him because he was pro m4a and because the elites hated him for wearing hoodies in the senate. No one knew just how much of a raging Zionist he was until after 10/7. Fetterman is not the reference for Mamdani. That is AOC.
