Dems should not allow people to campaign on one thing and act wildly differently even to the extent they have, let alone the way Republicans do.

Recall the fuckers.

There are some serious traitors in Democratic leadership.. The republicans don’t have this issue for some reason, but fetterman isn’t alone in his position.

Because they value money more than morals. They get in a position of power, and then they are bought.

That and the Republicans in particular are cowed by their cult of personality.

Being generous on the math you could say half of democratic politicians want what’s best for their constituents, the other half prefer the best for constituents, but money talks and can be bought. Republicans just like money and want to grift everyone else.

That full force of all the Rs actively voting together to make more money is stronger than the mix Dems get per election.

It’s getting old boss.

(Don’t forget the few dems per vote that side with Reps for the money on votes when we are already split on a goal)
