Here you have one of the most famous politicians in the country merging with a computer.
Where exactly does the software end and John Fetterman's consciousness begin?
It's very obvious that Pennsylvania will be sending a computer program to the US senate where inevitably it will be hacked.
MSNBC sat down with John Fetterman and his machine to see where the man ends and the machine begins.
John Fetterman is using closed captioning because of a hearing impairment. He's just reading the words spoken from a screen.
Fox News is telling their audience that Fetterman will be the first cyborg congressman.
Why the fuck do they care so much about this particular race? Does PA have a lot of electoral sway or something?
I have a few pet theories, although none of them are really based on hard evidence:
Pennsylvania went red in 2016, so to them this is like Georgia. They want to invest in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Oz is the more educated, wealthier one in the suit this time and his enemy is blue collar. They are pretty excited because it's how they see the world. Not only as "dirty rich" vs "clean rich", but now its the democrat that's the uneducated rube on the lower rung, so this is a chance for them to unashamedly be elitists again.
In lib electoralism, Fetterman has a chance of winning some non-voters over. Fox can't automatically write Fetterman off for being non-white, a woman, or queer and just full on culture war issues because to some suburbanites, Fetterman is "one of us". No, this time they have to be specific on why they hate Fetterman: his policies. He wants a better life for "the help" who shouldn't have a life outside of making the rich money until they die of starvation and get replaced by the next cattle. I don't mean this in a stupidpol way, but he has the best shot of winning over some white people who have sided with the butcher because they considered whites to be "prized cattle"
PA started to be considered a swing state during the 2020 election.
