Fair minded people watching that debate: "*That was painful to watch and I have serious concerns about Fetterman being able to serve in the Senate for six year."

Democrats with their head's in sand: "*Na-na-nah! I can't hear you! I don't care! I'll will vote for a vegetable if it's got a D on it!"

Republicans are out here pretending like they're putting up a well qualified logical candidate and not the snake oil salesman from Oprah. I don't really want to be in the "blue no matter who" camp but I don't feel like I have a choice these days

I think fair minded people would understand Fettermans issues aren't cognitive and he'll recover just fine

> will vote for a vegetable if it's got a D on it!

This is a funny criticism coming from the party who votes for people who have severe memory and other issues

John's policy platform is intact, as is his reasoning ability. He's improving every day, and if he gets elected, he wouldn't be the worst public speaker in the Senate either.

Yeah not sure whats the downvotes are. This circlejerk of a guy with a stroke speaking fucked up is just coming from neckbeards that have gotten lucky and not had a stroke from all the mountain dew and cheetahs that they jam down their throats on a daily basis.

The amount of ignorance around strokes just shows you how many pieces of shit exist on the internet. And alot of the bad faith arguers are just going to burn in the hell since there are tons of people who know how fucked up a stroke is yet wanna make fun of it without directly saying that.

There's a reason Republicans love ad hominem. It's because they don't have any actual evidence to support their views. But if they think the guy running for Democratic office is dumber than them, it gives them an excuse to vote based on their gut feelings.

It was the same thing with Hillary. Many of the more moderate Republicans wanted to like Trump, but they knew we was a sleazebag. Then when the email thing came out, they drew a false equivalency with Trump's dealings, which allowed them to overlook corruption "on both sides" and instead vote for the guy who promised to keep the Mexicans out.

The irony is when Republicans say "facts dont care about your feelings!" yet continue to live in a delusional reality to where they change their worldview based on how they feel that day.

And alot of Republicans left the party when Trump hit the scene. The media never wants to talk about that. I know alot of Never Trumpers who voted for Republicans since Reagan and switched to the Democratic party starting with Hiliary since they got tired of the childish bullshit. They dont love Biden or Hillary, but the old school republicans arent going to associate themselves with the same party that supports the Proud Boys/Girls.

Its almost like "building a wall and making mexico pay for it" isnt a very good selling point to wealthy Old School republicans who know how fucking stupid that sounds.

Fair-minded people see that he is still in recovery and did the debate anyway. He didn't give up on himself and hasn't given up on Pennsylvanians. I don't care if his speech never fully comes back, it doesn't make him an invalid.

Fortunately, Reddit isn't the real world.

You don't have to go far to find people across the spectrum who are pulling away from Fetterman.

Pulling away from Fetterman is just handing the senate back to Mitch McConnell, all over an hour out of a months long campaign in which Fetterman has shown consistent and steady recovery while still out building relationships with voters statewide?

Seems shortsighted.

Not voting for Fettermen shows immense selfishness , delusion about how the senate works, and privilege. Its as good as a vote for Mitch McConnell controlling things.
