        I’ve been thinking recently about whether Oz would have been better as a PA senator, hindsight is a bitch. Fetterman is getting rightfully lit up in the news over basically everything recently. Has he made a difference for good on any policy versus what we could reasonably predict Oz would have done as senator?

          He’s probably doing more damage as head of Medicare and Medicaid then he would have as a senator. Maybe both would have happened, but there was more opportunity for him to fall out of Trump’s graces if he had been in government for a few years.

      There’s 2 things that annoy me about that. Well. 3.

      The first is that even if his district isn’t filled with suites, they still would put on a suit or best they got for formal affairs and maybe do business casual.

      They certainly would clean their clothes. Most days he looks like a slob with food stains and whatever else.

      The third thing is it’s entirely possible to get suited tailored to your size. And it’s not that expensive, and we know he should be able to afford it on his salary.

    The democrats should purge the party of these republicans dressed up (and not even convincingly) as democrats, but instead democrats welcome such characters with open arms and will promote them over progressives. If they want to stop people from thinking both parties are the same, they should really do something about this.
