If you are referring to Fetterman as a leftist, most of us on this forum weren't gullible enough to believe that he was one. The media can call people what it wants, but Fetterman was always a confused liberal at best, and a Blue MAGA dipshit at worst, at least until the Genocide Joe saga started, now he's just a rancid kkkrackkker.

The Republicans need to shit-stir for the election cycle, and no one is really that interested in securing the border well, because we need the illegal immigrants labor to run our economy. It's them fighting over where the pork-barrel money goes, as per usual. The Republicans are simply smarter and will win this political fight either way, because either the bill doesn't pass and they can complain that it was poison-pilled with other funding and now 'omg the border isn't secure', or it does pass and they get to dole out handouts to constituents. It's an easy win-win because the Democrats don't have to succeed on their end because if they lose this, it doesn't really matter, because if they lose the presidential election their campaign donations will go through the roof. The big losers are the migrants who have to suffer for their political pantomime.
