    I feel like this is shaping up to be a Fetterman 2.0 where the “working class” winner doesn’t rise to the challenge once elected.

    Which is still a better option than Susan Collins actively destroying America from the inside out.

      He’s about as anti fetterman as his type gets. He literally called fetterman out directly recently.

      If you want to understand what the state of Maine sees in him. I cannot recommend more ignoring what the mass media is feeding you. And to just go listen to interviews with the man or listen to him speak. Don’t allow yourself to be passively manipulated by others about some nebulous thing you are told to fear. When you can listen to them and decide for yourself. The recent sexual assault allegations blew up in the New York Times face. He hasn’t taken a single Cent from AIPAC and has called out Israel directly. They are desperate to bring him down.

      In a field of Shifty hucksters. The man is at least genuine if flawed.

      I think he’s gonna make better votes in Congress than Fetterman just because he’s been a lot more specific on policy commitments while campaigning than Fetterman ever was, but I also don’t see how you can have the military career he did and then later say “It is reasonable to ask people to trust me with political power” and actually be a fully reformed human being, so I bet we get a scandal where he’s caught in a racist groupchat with his security detail after he’s elected or something like that

      Still, I’d rather have someone who says dumb shit but votes good than someone like Collins who does the exact opposite

          Who knew 18-26 year olds are stupid. And that people are still figuring their shit out. I’ll gladly take someone who admits they were wrong and have grown up. Especially the way he speaks. Now go to fuck

          DGAF, tbh. Collins, allegedly older and wiser, voted to send troops there in the first place to kill people.

          Still better than Collins.

          Known Evil vs. Variable.
