Fetterman to Democrats criticizing Biden: “Get your MAGA hat” | The Hill

“I don’t understand why,” Fetterman said, speaking on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. “I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that whether you’re just chasing clout or you want to make it in the news or anything like that. But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat, because you now are helping Trump with this.”

    “we can’t do anything because MAGA”

    “oh you’re gonna criticize us for not doing anything? How very MAGA of you” smuglord

      Like. Genuinely he might be the lesser of two evils. He’s maybe the most incompetent person in the race and I’d rather have an incompetent fascist than a senile fascist I guess?

        yeah and I simply don’t believe Democrats care that much since Biden absolutely could pack the courts if he wanted, yet refuses to out of worship of norms and procedure, because that’s all liberal politics are.

        Also when has the supreme court ever done anything good? Gay marriage is the only thing I can think of and they barely let that through.

          Well obviously the number 9 was handed down by the god pope and Biden will do nothing about that, but the last thing I’ll say on harm reduction is that he’s been beating Trump’s pace with appointing district judges

        Too bad the dems completely allowed that to happen between RBG refusing to retire, them doing their best Charlie brown umpression when republicans repeatedly told them “fuck you were not gonna let you pick a justice” and then mounting the weakest resistance imaginable for three consecutive openly fascist ideologues.

        If democrats were at all capable of competent resistance d the minute republicans said they weren’t going to approve a justice in an election year Obama should have said “congress is refusing to do their job to approve a nominee in an attempt to co trol the other two branches so I nominate whoever the fuck u want, what are they going to do about it”

        Unfortunately the dems assumed theybwere going to keep the executive branch forever so instead they did nothing and then immediatly rolled over and showed their belly as soon as republicans were in control.

        Also wanna take this opportunity to re-emphasive the reason they originally took co trol was because after refusing to step down for years RBG died because she had to officiate a wedding ignoring covid protocols in the middle of a nationwide spike AFTER she had been diagnosed with cancer.

        I’d be a lot more sympathetic to the whole “vote for dems because the Supreme court” if they hadn’t spent the last decade proving not only will they not fight to get any justices on the court they also won’t do anything to oppose a republican nomination.

        Republicans will never let a Democrat nominate a justice again.

    Bassem Youssef Quote – “I’m not going to be blackmailed into saying that I’m enabling Trump to win. The Democrats did that to themselves.”

    from now on this is how I’m gonna respond to these things. I’m making this the :parenti-hands: Parenti Quote for 2024 Yankee-election year

    I LOVE THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM, I LOVE THAT ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE STATUS QUO TWO DIALOGUE OPTIONS IS MET WITH CONDESCENDING “OH WELL YOU WANT THE OTHER GUY TO WIN?” BULLSHIT.

    Listen silly, GOD gave us the two parties, and if you want to engage in SACRILEGE then maybe you should move to ATHEIST CHINA.

          This is the big thing it’s hard to take the dems seriously when they say he’s the worst person ever when they now defend the last person they said that about if you try to call him out as being just as much of a fascist.

          8 years from now when the next worst person ever is running I guarantee we’ll see libs saying “I can’t believe he’s bad enough to make me say this but I wish we could get Trump back”

    I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that.

    “…I mean, it’s not like we’d ever even pretend to give a shit about what average citizens think or want. So go ahead and vote MAGA, and remember the one true thing Biden ever promised: Nothing will fundamentally change.”

    Dude needs to have like 5 more strokes and STFU. The people are making actual demands of Biden and the whole Democratic Party. They have become just so used to just leaning on the “vote blue no matter who” stance and just literally put more effort in attacking voters for making any demands than they ever do when it comes to Republican Party policies that come up for votes. He is a bitch that threatened a jogger with a shotgun and convensed the victim that he had done more good than harm (even though the victim even outright claims that he was lying about all the actions he took with the situation). Fuck him and his false “man of the people” BS! They only ever “care” about shit like reproductive or various civil rights issues when elections come around. And they never even try to make protections for said issues when they have actual power to do so. I just hope the next stroke takes him out, seeing how being mentally unfit for a position of power no longer matters since Biden is being allowed to run again.

    This poor excuse for an elected official is driving away so many voters. He has undoubtedly destroyed voter numbers in PA because of his disgusting rhetoric and I can’t help but just sit here and laugh. By all means, keep self-destructing. sit-back-and-enjoy
