While I have real issues with Fetterman, he has voted in line with the Democratic Party over 90% of the time. While I would love for him to be replaced by a progressive Democrat, I still prefer him than a mainstream republican.

On top of this what he’s really saying is “I dont have any principles. I’ll change my stance on anything so long as people say they like me”
