Lol, the one guy on CBC even talked about having a Fetterman resistant Senate majority
We call that an unfettered majority. 😁
How is he actually still a candidate? Genuine question, I don’t follow US politics that closely.
He’s not, but he still has the rest of his term to serve. Unfortunately there is no recall mechanism either.
No recall mechanism/sanction for lying about intentions after the vote is the core problem of modern democracy. We read news in real time but takes 4 years to throw the liars out. Its too easy for the corrupt lot.
I wouldn’t say core problem but it’s definitely a critical component missing from any ernest attempt at actual democracy.
Can… can he be impeached?
I think that’s the only real solution to the problem that’s laid out in the current legal framework. It’s historically pretty difficult to pull off though.
Doesn’t impeachment require actual illegal acts?
Senate seats are only up for reelected every 6 years so he has not had to be a candidate.
What kind of fool would jump from a functional ship to a sinking one?
Just Fetterman and Stevens I guess.
The part of his brain that contained ethics, morals, human decency, and simple logic died when he had that stroke
Either that, or the bit that led about being a Democrat.
Why did they not get thrown out their party beforehand?
stevens is out of the party in her state, she has very little power unlike fetterman.
Bringing that heat upon himself when it won’t even help? He’d have to be some kind of brain damaged. Wait…
TBF, I thought he already had.
Has in spirit, not in title. He’ll switch almost immediately to make sure the dem’s headline senate control is a little more tenuous and looks worse on paper.
Thankfully, the margins are wide enough now that it wouldn’t even really matter if he did.
The Governor has the mandate now. Call that fuck to heel.
STFU Johnny, you’re out of your element.
Better to keep a man on the inside, especially since he can’t flip control and can keep voting with the regime anyway.
Lol, it won’t be enough.
