The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.
With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.
Democrats need to do better.

How has fetterman not been removed from the party and sued to recover campaign funds he lied to get. I don’t buy his bullshit “stroke” changing him to a republican thing
You mean the Democrats correct? Because the DNC (one of the funding arms of the blue party in the US) doesn’t actually care about the issues “the party” cares about. They have their own agenda that involves making a lot of money for their big donors. Having a rotating villain like Manchin, Lieberman, Sinema, Fetterman is the best case scenario. Because it means they don’t have to ever “actually” support things that would cost their donor’s money.
Wait wait wait…
His rationale for turning republican is that he’s had a sudden mental & cognative decline? He’s actually admitted that?
“Hey Republicans, since having a brain injury I now align with everything your Nazi party is trying to achieve…”
He DID have a stroke yes. And he claims it “cleansed him of his liberalism”
He spent the campaign before the stroke talking about how progressive he was and progressive policy was the only path forward…
After the stroke and election, he openly admits to not understanding why people would ever think he’s progressive…
Either he’s lying and it was all scam, or he legitimately doesn’t remember anything about his own campaign and what he was saying during it.
Either is a good reason to kick him out of the party (and office), but Dem leadership has only cared about defending incumbents without question. Because most of the Dem leadership represent voters who don’t agree with them anymore.
So if the party stops blindly defending incumbents and starts having unbiased primaries, a lot of Dem leadership will lose their personal power.
Dem leadership has already lost all power. Speculating on how to fix the party is like talking about how to fix a window on a house that just burned down.
So Schumer and Pelosi arent calling shots?
Did that just happen, I completely missed it…
Last I heard they were still fighting progress and complying with fascists
No, I’m talking about the country. It doesn’t matter what the democrats do; they will never be in power again because you can’t vote out fascism.
Oh ok…
This is one of those things where a brand new account attempts to convince people there’s no way to win and we should all give up.
Not many people fall for that these days, so I don’t think this needs my attention
Money or closet skeletons. One or both changed him.
But, but what about judges or some shit like that.
Say what you will about Republicans but fuck they got their members always in line even if it is done through gl threat of being effectively primaried by Trump’s MAGA.
