    Shapiro is in the running to receive the John Fetterman Award for Outstanding Democratic Party Political Fuckery.

    He is a dark horse and far behind front runners Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Giilibrand, Hakeem Jeffries, Ritchie Torrez and Henry Cuellar.

      Shapiro is in the running to receive the John Fetterman Award for Outstanding Democratic Party Political Fuckery.

      If Graham Platner becomes a senator - I don’t know if he’ll win gold but he’ll be in medal contention.

          If Planter wins after the inevitable swing that will happen next year - shitlibs are going to be saying "Look, Platner is awful and his appearance on the 1488 podcast was disturbing. But…"

          It’s gonna be really tough to defend “vote blue no matter who” after the maskoff reveal of Fetterman 2.0 Nazi Remix. But some of the libs will boldly and bravely step into the breach. They’ll find a way. They always do.

        I was watching majority report, and in response to a caller asking if platner would be the next fetterman or what to do if he does end up being an actual nazi and Sam played it off like fetterman is a one off not a constant in the dnc. I know Sam’s super lib sometimes but is disturbing how easily even he’s going on about how fetterman isn’t systemic in America politics. Let alone just saying we needed to wait for platner to show if he’s actually a nazi in office rather than before 🤮

          My theory is Fetterman is normal middle of the road Democrat but he has zero style and is a very sloppy, messy person. Other Democrats are slick enough that we don’t see this side of them but Fetterman has literal brain damage so everything hangs out. Otherwise he is a median Democrat

            Like trump he doesn’t care about optics which is the only thing dems/dnc actually care about.

            Basically making it impossible for them to keep covering up how they’re not an opposition party but the other half of gop

          That’s the logic at Bluesky. They often resort to phony off-the-cuff phraseology when they claim they aren’t Platner apologist yet they clearly are. They say weird things nobody would say face-to-face in real life.

          There is no “defense” of Platner, there’s a recognition that should that oaf win his vote will be valuable.

          “Oaf” is fucking darkly hilarious. I’m stealing that.
