In reply to the discussion: Will Fetterman Silence Lamb in Pennsylvania Senate Face-Off? [View all]Cosmocat
(15,296 posts)though what we are seeing right now is a candidate who knows he is trouble and is getting a bit twitchy and that rarely turns out well. But, in general he has been a very solid candidate at the congressional level, and the kind of "moderate" democrat we we need to have a shot at the majority.
But, I have been supporting Fetterman for years now, and always knew he was a next level guy. He has both incredible intelligence and integrity AND a populist element.
When he was running for LT Gov, I saw him speak several times in person, and every time he said he would take losing his race 100 out of a 100 times if that meant that Wolfe would win Gov - his context was that he believed in Wolfe and more importantly that the most important thing was having a Dem gov - and how would PA have went last Nov with all the elections bullshit if Wagner was our governor ... You KNOW that puke would have let them over turn our vote.
Past that, he is UNABASHED in advocating for progressive policy. He is soft spoken, but never equivocates.
AND, has been running a statewide, every country campaign for years now.
With the endless stream of freakshow lunatics the Rs have gotten into congress, govs and statewide offices the last decade, the game has changed.
It is 2022. more and more our elections are no longer chamber of commerce elections, people are responding more and more to out of the box candidates, and the dems DESPERATELY need more people like Fetterman who are not scared to get into dust ups with Rs.
