Before Sherrod Brown...no progressive won an Ohio seat. And the PA party pretty much ran moderates Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #143

So it's about a left-wing and right-wing populist alliance, I guess. betsuni Apr 2022 #162

No, Fetterman is not like that...it isn't any of the usual politics. Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #165

What's an "unapologetic populist"? His issues are the usual Democratic Party policies. betsuni Apr 2022 #167

He is a progressive and cares about people.And he can win. He is well liked in PA. Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #171

Why would he retract...it is a Lamb supporting PAC.... Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #183

That's not how he cleverly worded his statement. Budi Apr 2022 #185

It was not the 'wrong PAC', I already posted the exact advert that was pulled down (and why) Celerity Apr 2022 #191
