    I know votng doesn’t matter but shit like this actually does. Fetterman is a dude who will turn a bunch of people to the left just by talking. And the inevitable push by the Dems to keep him out of office will turn even more people.

      Electoralism on its own is stupid and dumb. Not taking at least some of your time to participate in electoralism (especially with a half decent candidate like Fetterman) is even dumber.

        local stuff like school boards are actually important and are usually low enough turnout enough that a small organized group could get a few seats and have some real power.

            And how we can stop GRT (Great Replacement Theory) from being taught in school. Thomas Edison's black assistant "invented the lightbulb". Teach the controversy!!!

            they've been doing it way longer than that with trying to get creationism in schools and destroying public education with vouchers

      Lamb in 2021...

      If you want a Senator who runs as a Socialist, feeds the GOP attack ads, & didn't help with infrastructure, I'M NOT YOUR GUY. That's not how you beat Republicans. I know because I've actually done it & will again. I'm a normal Democrat who supports jobs & wins elections

      A comment today...

      Update: voters did want this.

        who supports jobs

        my opponent will not in fact press the "make jobs" button and i will :brainworms:

        :galaxy-brain: under my administration the job trees in the job orchard will be watered every day. my socialist opponent will instead divert the stream from the job orchard into the tax & spend swimming pool

        socialism is when no iphone :vuvuzela: and no jobs.

        do not ask what the "reserve army of labor" is. it is a fairy tale, dreamed up by a wookie in the 1800s :marx-goth:

    Did they try and hit Fetterman with the heart attack gun?! He had a stroke or something?

      Are you intimating that If somebody sticks Matt in a taffy machine so he gets to be six nine he has a chance in democratic politics? If so - I still think he needs new threads.

      Dipshit centrist pushed very hard by the dem machine - https://hexbear.net/post/194934/comment/2447447

      And MSNBC (and the other usual suspects) tried very hard to pretend Fetterman wasn't way ahead in the polls. Of course had Lamb been ahead - lib media would have tirelessly attacked Fetterman as being "unelectable". It's funny how that works.
