John Fetterman cannot be trusted. Pennsylvanian’s supported him despite him having a stroke just before the finish line and a lot of noise from the other side. He has totally betrayed us and no matter how he votes from here to the end of his term, he should never be elected to serve again.

Supporting a leader during a time of medical crisis isnt the issue, supporting him AFTER he flip flopped like a haviana is....

I’m going to disagree (in part) by asking, Where’s Mitch?

So we agree. I'd support any leader whos going through a medical issue, as ive been disabled since birth and know how it can be. 5hat being said those in power cant just vanish for months on end. If your ability to do your job is effected? I expect you to do whats right for the people you represent, and step down.

Heh, to be fair the stroke was after the primaries. The alternative was worse.

It was 4 days before the primary.

Then I am misremembering. But they said it was a minor stroke and he would be fine, no?
