I don't think most democrats care about what Fetterman claims at this point.

He has already left all but in name.

Yet Schumer and party leaders won't censure him because the party stands for nothing

Censuring him wouldn't accomplish jackshit. If anything, it'll just make him even harder to work with. Fetterman extremely sucks and I can't wait for him to be primaried out of office, but until then, there's nothing Dems can do about him and just have to try and work with him whenever as best as possible when they need his vote.

There's the Democrat spirit! "There's nothing we can do. Better to do nothing and hope the person who's never shown compromise will compromise."

How would censuring him help in any way?
