The first-term Pennsylvanian has battled with progressives on Israel, immigration and energy, adopting a more caustic political persona and alienating some supporters.
Hasn’t Fetterman been getting tons of criticism for being exactly that, being to the right of most leftists/liberals? Do you think that’s overblown and he’s still mostly on the side of the left?
I hope you can tell how clueless many of us feel having read your initial comments. You’re not doing a great job of communicating what you think and why. Granted, you don’t have to, and it’s a bit annoying how much patience is required, but if you don’t others will likely not care to ask you to explain. Anyway, just a thought as I’ve been realizing I need to get better at communicating - I’m probably overdoing it now ;)
But leftists and liberals are not the same. Liberals are already rightism-apologists (also see: “enlightened centrist”), and Fetterman has proven to be solidly to the right of even your garden variety liberals. Dude is Manchin sans the overt corruption.
