In reply to the discussion: New Fetterman ad [View all]Just A Box Of Rain
(5,104 posts)25. That's a decent ad, but
in the middle portion it breaks down and, at least to me, Fetterman seems defensive. As if he fears being branded as a "vigilante."
I'd like to see him turn his brave stance of running towards gunfire to protect others into an advantage, instead of something that he seems almost apologetic about.
I don't think anyone doubts the man's commitment to his heavy African American constituency.
Those are the people his risked his life to protect.
Contrast this with what happened in Uvalde. Contrast this with the character of Mehmet Öz.
This could be a winning issue as opposed to one that feels like it needs to be explained away.
My opinion anyway.

I'd prefer this incident not be 'used' to an advantage but to be called for what it was.
