I seejust like if Connor Lamb was so fucking great, how come Fetterman won the primary. You obviously think that Pennsylvania Democrats did the right thing in picking Fetterman in their primary. I dont see it that way.
I also think the country did badly with Cheney-Bush over Gore and over Kerry. Same with Trump over Hillary and Harris. As with the film, the manipulators make the robots, and the victims realize too late theyve been pawns in a scheme. Touting a candidate who called Joe Biden a rapist, for example, is touting someone I will thankfully never have to vote for. If that is a progressive, I have a different definition of progress. Chacun à son goût.
