For background: instead of working on Covid relief plans, PA state republicans passed legislation to stop him from flying the pride and weed flags outside of his office. Every morning they’d take his flags down and he’d put them back up when he got to his office. He’s moved instead to hang even larger banners which aren’t flags. I know succdems aren’t perfect but this guy is pretty good and also this is fucking funny. Also I’d much rather have him in the senate than Pat fucking Toomey

        This story - while legit and something I want him to answer for - is not new. He was reelected mayor of his majority-black city and won a statewide race since this story broke 8 years ago.

      What is the criticism here?

      That mistaking fireworks for gunfire means he's not a real leftist? That he held up a black guy, in a jogging suite because he was the only person in the area?

          A Class Traitor Karen would be one that abandons the Bourgeoisie for the Proles, no?

          Its kinda like "Keep Litter in its place", which actually means keep it in the street, because if you throw it in the bin its not litter anymore, its just regular rubbish, QED litter's place is in the street

      Pittsburgher here: Fetterman absolutely needs to apologize for this and answer for the other shitty stuff he's done (gentrification, and pro-cop shit) in Braddock.

      That said, I support him 100% unless like Summer Lee jumps into the race. The alternatives in the race right now are Bidenite shit-libs. Fetterman is the most left guy in statewide politics in my lifetime.
