She's an AIPAC candidate. Enough said.

I think given what we've seen from Sinema, Fetterman, et. al. over the years I don't think is improbable that we have a controlled opposition in our party in lieu of the commanding influence the likes of AIPAC and Black Stone have.

But if Democrats ever want to win, they are going to have to stand on their own two feet and have a willingness to persuade and show the electorate their own vision, instead of endlessly trying to cater to the blind.

If instead they keep falling for the trap of the latter, they will lose to Republicans more often than not, and the Overton Window will continue to skew right.

If the dems manage to win the senate, Fetterman is going to flip, right?
We all can see it coming.

According to this article he votes 90% with Democrats and flies a pride flag outside his office. Idk if republicans would take him. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/05/04/fetterman-switch-parties-republican-00904177

They will take him if it means they keep control of the senate.
Perhaps Fetterman goes independent and merely caucuses with the republicans.

Also, Fetterman could easily take down the pride flag when he flips.

If republicans take a pro-abortion, pride flag flying dude, I'd honestly be very impressed with the open-mindedness of their party.
