As the title says.
Like, nothing against the guy, necessarily, but it is pretty clear that he cannot even speak with full mental function, let alone making important decisions and the like...
It just seems like a really bad idea to elect someone who is clearly... Not well. Let alone the likelihood that being in that position will make his health outcomes worse...
I understand that D's felt like he was their best chance, and that they needed to win that seat, but it just seems irresponsible all round, for all parties involved, no?
How are voters so dumb that they saw all that, and went "Yup, that's the guy I want representing me, right now!"
Sad...
It was electoral fraud. Fetterman sued to allow illegitimate ballots to be counted, and said the count would follow the same pattern caused by electoral fraud in 2020.
Apart from that, the media also did its best to protect this brain-damaged criminal sympathiser from the negative press he deserved.
I know it's just a headline, but I'd phrase it as "Fetterman's team sued," because Fetterman isn't doing any thinking besides if he gets chicken tenders or a cheeseburger for dinner.
Competence was never a requirement of communism. You could be as incompetent as you wanted as long as you were devoted to the party.
Fetterman is an auto-vote for what ever the party wants, he is perfect.
A huge difference between the left and the right, the right wants representation for their local needs while the left just wants leftist ideals upheld.
The deep state wants power. Leftists pretend to represent ideals while serving the deep state. The right pretends to represent the people while serving the deep state.
I'm mostly talking about the voters not the politicians.
You ask too much friend.
As another outside observer, I'd have to speculate that 1) The media does not fairly cover his foibles or lack of cognitive ability - same shit they did with Biden, 2) sympathy votes, and 3) idiots in the cities Vote Blue No Matter Who.
I saw on p.win that in exit polling, people who actually watched the debate voted for Oz by double digits. Most people did not watch the debate. They know Fetterman is recovering from health issues but they do not know he is an invalid. They just vote D by default.
Oh, also voter fraud.
We can only hope. I'll get the popcorn.
Yet Biden is our president. Shouldn't we have thrown this argument away a few years ago now? The decreasing quality of our elites has many causes, but I think electing the disabled specifically is what you get as clown world unfolds.
Honestly, he's only normally biologically broken, it will probably get so much worse. Just imagine Fetterman with blue hair and bolted on tits who has an odd history with children, drugs, and orgies, not in any particular order.
It's also nice for the managerial regime if the elected parts of the government are literally retarded so they can't even form the thought of ruling in actuality. So, if you don't want to entertain the ideas of fraud, I offer you the humble idea that our countrymen are just completely retarded. Is it really such a leap of faith to imagine a gaggle of retards voting in a retard leader?
It is the essence of democracy!
You joke, but this is literally the point of universal suffrage, and the reason we force it onto every country we "free." It allows us to control their government in totally hands off way. It's cheaper, easier, more reliable, and less obvious than what people generally think of when they're talking about delegitimizing elections.
His handlers allowed the debate when the majority of mail-in votes were already sent.
Western culture has internalized the idea that 'being kind' is more important than making sensible decisions. This is a huge factor in the rapidly worsening problems we face as a society.
And many individual, voting humans don't see reality, they see narratives straight out of their favorite feel good movies. Look at the people with Ukraine flags in their bios and you will not see someone with opinions and feelings about a real world event, you will see someone avidly following the plot of a movie.
These people want to see someone like Fetterman 'beating the odds' and 'triumphing over adversity'. They expect reality to change to meet their expectations.
You must understand. In their eyes, being mentally impaired doesn't make him less qualified for the job. It makes him more qualified for the job.
(Or there was voter fraud. Likely a combination of both.)
What's the motivation to vote for Oz? If this was 2016, he'd be the most far left candidate on the ballot in the entire country.
because Trump said so
because he wasn't the D
It turns out that voters in PA couldn't give less of a shit about Trump.
It's 2022 now. Conservatives need to progress and get with the times dude. If this was 1790, every person running on the ballot in the entire country would be executed for being too far left. Times change. Conservatism is just leftism going the speed limit.
Are you fucking listening to yourself
While the wording is suspect, there is a bit of truth to the idea that the right needs to work on messaging. Our whole schtick this election cycle was "hey, we're not Democrats!" but we presented very little actual plans. We cried about fixing the economy but never told anyone how we planned on doing that.
Actually "we" did. By not spending money we don't have. That's how you fix inflation. Now go back to reddit.
This is a common problem with GOP. Part of the reason Trump was so popular was because he had a plan. For most of my adult life the GOP's entire platform has been:
Paltry tax reforms
OwniNg LiBTaRdS
Foreign wars and an expanding security state
Cockholster for Israel.
These are cute policy points (the left has really taken the reigns with the foreign intervention and militarized, partisan police force), but there is no overarching theme to them, at least not something comparable to the left's ever quickening march toward a sexually degenerate, neo-bolshevik dystopia.
Lot of people who read the first two sentences and had a mental bluescreen at this post.
Wat the boomer
A lot of people here will criticize Democrats for voting for Fetterman even though his mind is broken. Nearly all those people would be voting for a Ron DeSantis after a stroke.
It's a team sport. The dems voted for the guy because he will be a reliable vote for communism. He doesn't need to think or speak to vote however Schumer tells him to vote.
Oz has been an issue since day one. Way back when Trump first endorsed him people were upset and called him unelectable. Not shocking, then, to see that those people were right. Trump was a 1 in a trillion candidate, because this is normally what happens with outsider types. For God's sake, didn't Oz support kids transitioning?
Oz was a fucking terrible candidate. I don't know if Trump learned the wrong lesson about his own success and thought people would just vote for someone they recognised from TV or what, but he sucks.
Also fraud
Either Oz was so unappealing a candidate that he lost to a turnip or they slammed the "fortification" lever up to 11.
I'm going with both.
Neck lumps wife vs a guy who advocated for transitioning children way before it was fashionable to do so
Oz wasn't a good pick. But compared to fetterman..... Lump had positive showing up until the live debates when he started to tank. By then most mail in votes had already been sent in. I imagine there were plenty of PA voters with buyers remorse
That and fraud. Perfect puppet behind another perfect puppet
Argument for Fetterman I encountered was that his inability only affects his speech and is only temporary. That is really desperate rationalization of course.
Against Oz was that he was a snake oil salesman
https://archive.ph/g40OQ
"Without resorting to genetics, how come people tend to look like their parents?"
"Without using the explanation, explain this to me"
oh no, why did this trans child approving tv personality didn't win, he carried with himself the hope of based right wing
You forgot that he's also a super discriminated doubleplus minority: a muslim.
Any boots on the ground in Pennsylvania? What was the vibe with yard signs and casual conversation?
For entirely anecdotal evidence, as a PA resident, I have absolutely no idea how this was the outcome of organic voting. Turnout was decent, but seemed reduced compared to the last election; I didn't even need to wait in line when I arrived at my polling location.
Of people I know in life, the overall shift in preference has been toward the Republican side. The people I know who are hardcore Democrats are still hardcore Democrats, and the stalwart Republicans are still Republicans. But of the people in the middle, I know several who shifted from Democrat to Republican this election, and zero who went the other way. Every fencer-sitter I know who watched the debate came away with the conclusion Fetterman is incapable of doing the job, and his only defenders at that point were the "blue no matter who" Democrats.
I've seen Fetterman signs in a few surprising places across the sate (Potter county is one), but even in my suburb closer to Philly, there are more Oz signs by nearly an order of magnitude. There are usually few signs on yards in my immediate neighborhood, but there were a huge number this year, and exactly one in my development was for Fetterman.
The watercooler talk today (with those on the red side of the aisle) is mail-in ballots. At least in my workplace, there seems to be a strong consensus that this is the result of mail-in ballots, combined with either an uninformed and lazy electorate, or leveraged for fraud. Even those who were previously moderate (including one who switched sides this election) have mentioned fraud, which strikes me as a fairly dramatic shift in view. Unlike what I've seen people from out-of-state say online, not one person has said this is the result of Oz being a poor candidate (many think he was a fair compromise), and not one person anywhere on the political spectrum has mentioned abortion. I think anyone boiling this down to a single issue rather than pointing at our voting process or the voters themselves is being dishonest.
Oz is an unlikable retard
Assholes who couldn't be bothered to go vote got this brain-damaged geek into office. They'll get what they deserve.
Traditional Democrat voters genuinely want more crime, inflation, and Drag Queen Story Hours. They genuinely look at burned out ghetto neighborhoods and think that's how things are supposed to be. There aren't enough children being sacrificed to Moloch under the guise of healthcare to satisfy them. It's like dealing with space aliens to me.
Dems vote blue, no matter who. Even if that person is brain damaged. It's easier to control them.
Secondly, trumps candidates all shit the bed. None of them were good. Trump needs to fucking go. This should have been easy, but it's a shitshow
Third, the media had no standards about pointing out fetterman sucks, and isn't capable. They let it slide.
The myth of the rational voter... Premise: We can't run our own lives because we are incapable and thus we need political leaders to guide us and inTeRpReT oUr WiLL. Contradiction: We are wise and capable enough to rationally select our leaders, which we need because we aren't capable of running our own lives
Fetterman's stroke was the only reason the race was even close. He had a big enough buffer to hang on.
early mail voting favored Fetterman strongly since it was before his meltdown
Oz was a shit candidate
Oz was a carpetbagger
Oz had the Trump stink on him in a state Trump lost
Oz was an out-of-touch elitist in PA where working class matters
Trumpers thought that Trump could hijack a red wave not of his making and surf it to victory. They were wrong. Trump purposely sabotaged primaries to get his own loyalists selected, knowing they were weak shit for the general purely as a personal flex that he was running shit. Now, all his personal slate of candidates have grossly underperformed and lost.
It's time to Dump Trump.
The voters absolutely thirst for a post-Trump Republican party, which is also why Florida ended up with a red wave.
From the exit polls I saw, our worse halves backstabbed the entire country. That's why.
Fetterwoman. It really was written in the stars that they would sweep him in.
Turns out, if you stop women murdering small children, they lash out in the elections.
World ends, Imp ends it on women.
https://edition.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/national-results/house
Men went Republican 42-56%, women Democratic by 53-45%.
In 2020, men voted Republican 45-54%, and women voted for Democrats 57-43%.
https://edition.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/house/national-results
So it's exactly the opposite of what you are shouting. Surprise!
CNN polling is about as useless as things can be.
NBC did a full bit on their results stream about how women's abortion sentiment won the key states for the Dems.
BTW, NBC's numbers are the same.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-elections/exit-polls
Moron.
Check the swing states.
First you say: WOMEN voted against the GOP.
Then you dismiss the CNN exit poll, saying the NBC (which uses the same) had a different exit poll.
Then you dismiss the NBC exit poll as well, claiming that people need to look at swing states that you didn't look at yourself.
You are certifiable.
I'll make a post once I collect all the data up.
I also need to check how Melinda Gates' endorsements did.
lol, so you reject CNN and turn to even more partisan NBC.
And now all of a sudden you blindly trust the media's analysis. You don't have the numbers, you just pull stuff out of your ass as usual.
I don't think anything can be more biased than CNN.
The media can be reliably predicted to report on bad things women did that sound positive for the left. It feeds their whole superiority complex.
It was the latter that really mattered in the end to the non-retard voters, and frankly I don’t blame them. That shit only works when you’re a certain spouse of a former president.
