Hoodie Senator net approval rating from PA Dems ! What a Surprise ! 🤣

he had a 108 pt drop ….

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

Second best thing is if he resigns next year. He'll never get re-elected in PA. The Repukes don't want him and the Dem voters are completely disgusted. I voted for Fetterman and donated to his campaign, but never again!

Wife got hers back after she told him what she thought of him.

I make a point never to contribute $ to any politician. Giving just about anyone else a donation is better than giving it to a politician in my opinion.

... he is pro-Netanyahu, not necessarily pro-Israel. That's like saying Americans are all pro-Trump. NOT true. There is a substantial percentage of Israelis that are most definitely NOT pro-Netanyahu. Let us not paint the entire country with that broad brush. Just as it is true here, it is true that not all Israelis support a self-serving a psychopath just trying to keep himself out of prison by starting a war.

They are also just really great people in general.

Some of them have relatives in Israel. I know one
who lost his nephew in the first round of bombings
on Israel.

Another one had relatives who came out OK.

My post was about the Hoodie senator’s approval ratings and said nothing about Israeli

I know many Israeli citizens who have taken to the streets against this horrible war. I’m sorry that they are broken-hearted as we are. There are so many good people around the world, from different religious beliefs! 💙

👉🏽Note: I am not antisemitic and I have always supported Israel’s right to exist. I wish peace for all people in the MidEast.
I respect all faiths and spiritual traditions.

I never painted the entire country with a broad brush .

As you mentioned , many Israelis have taken to the streets to rid themselves of the war criminal and his corrupt regime.

I have long supported Israel’s right to exist. Netanyahu has made Israelis less safe. I want a solution for all nations.

We need to call out the unlawful murders, destruction, and land grabs that have led to so much suffering.

I don’t know why Trump and Netanyahu are on this death march, but it needs to end.

Make his ass flip.

And for those ready to trot out the Manchin excuses, FULL STOP. PA ain’t WV. Fetterman needs to be kicked to the curb.

And I am an entitled white male, you want to pick up 3 to 5 points in white males? You bury his lame ass publically.

that TOO MANY Democrats might try to primary him---
which could allow him to squeak by with a minority of party primary voters....

Then again, maybe he won't even run for re-election...
or even try to walk for it, since I suppose he may be unable to 'run' at this point




He will be up for re-election in 2028.

meaning that Independents cannot vote in either partisan primary. Only Democrats can vote so there is no crossover voters.

This process bodes ill for Fetterman. His only chance is a multicandidate primary that splits the vote so that Fetterman can win with 30%.

... Repukes have been known to register as Democrats, just so they can mess up our primary races. Don't think it hasn't been done, because I've seen it happen. They'll never vote D in the general election, don't worry. But they will mess up our Party's primary candidates if they think they see an opportunity.

In the case of Fetterman, it wouldn't make a difference. He'll never get a primary win, and I'm hoping he resigns before we get that far. If Fetterman quits this year or next, then Shapiro can appoint his replacement who would then get a head start on the primary race that would be happening in 2028.

but people are very reluctant to change their party registrations to influence the other primary. Some may, but certainly not enough to make a difference.

Don't forget, the Repukes have a primary of their own and those voters are more likely to want to vote for a MAGA candidate in their own primary.
