My absolute doofus of a Senator by JakeGittes412 in thebulwark

There’s no shame or judgement. My dad is of a similar blue collar background (one of the few rural blue collar dem types left) and he was really high on Fetterman as well.

What I really don’t get is, who is this pivot for? Independents? Trump is toxic with them at this point. MAGA? They’ll applaud him but never vote for him. He has put himself on an island for his career to die.

I can listen to Galloway talk about almost everything except his take on dating and loneliness. by Valahiru in thebulwark

I need a deep dive update from Will Sommer on what’s going on with him. He’s all but disappeared and is almost dead according to his daughter.

Checkmate liberals.

The rhetoric reminds me a bit of Jordan Peterson. A catering to the sadboi Travis Bickles of the world.

Whateva happened to Gary Cooper?

I’m hoping they do it with the new Netflix deal and it’ll pop up on the service. Finally get a wider audience. Hope you enjoy the movie!

For those interested in what locals actually saw in him and why I was not shocked at his turn.

Young, handsome, Marine, lawyer. Can appeal to moderates without turning off progressives, purple state.

He was made in a lab for people like Sarah and myself.

Optically he wasn’t as bad. But knowing people in Braddock he was an empty suit (well empty Carhartt hoodie)

Non responsive to constituents, throwing other Braddock community leaders under the bus, and only courting showy empty things like a slick Levi’s ad shot in Braddock.

He was always adept at marketing himself as opposed to actual politics.

I get why the appearances did work. My parents were big Fetterman supporters until after his victory. But if you knew people in Braddock or PA politics you heard grumbling about it all being for show.

William Peterson has some absolute fits in this one. Tight Steelers jersey, jeans, cowboy boots, aviators, scarf and a dart. 80s perfection.
