I can’t believe I’m typing this, but in 2016 I was a John Fetterman supporter in the U.S. Senate Primary, initially. He seemed like something different. By 2018 I thought he was an awful idea for Lt. Governor. Then along came the 2022 Senate Primary, and I warned y’all. John Fetterman, like many out of the Bernie-inspired, grifter pool, was a fraud. He wasn’t the progressive champion he told y’all he was. He wasn’t a moderate from Western Pennsylvania. He is literally a trust fund baby, racist, “pick me” kid that wants us all to notice him. He believes in nothing, other than his own greatness.

To be clear, I don’t hate that he’s been more moderate than he ran on. In fact, I like it. What I hate is that he’s an inauthentic liar. He ran as a Bernie progressive, but now he’s willing to cut the health insurance of millions. John Fetterman says (above) that he won’t shut down the government over subsidies for ACA users. This of course means that millions will drop their insurance (not me, I pay full price on purpose), thereby raising the rates of those who do pay. Fetterman might not have any clue about that at this point, but somebody around him does. Of course, they’re trying to create the new Fetterman so they can keep grifting too. Don’t hate the players, hate the game.

Why the hell does any Democrat care about keeping the government open at this point? They are offering you absolutely nothing for your help, the government is doing certifiably shitty things to their own people, and you’re worried about keeping it open? Shut that shit down. Especially if they are going to make health care worse for people. You are under no obligation to help them. Especially if you’re an “every man” like John Fetterman. This isn’t an ideological fight at this point. These people suck, let them eat their shitty actions. You just tell the press, “I don’t agree with the bill. Most of it is bad.” Then you vote no. Don’t argue every point. They’re not offering you a serious proposal. So let them pound sand.

Not John Fetterman though. 2028 can’t come fast enough. That guy can go straight to hell, just like he’s trying to send his constituents to.
