You ever wonder whether what you’re about to say violates some fundamental tenet you set for yourself? Anyway, he didn’t deserve to survive that stroke.

[-] thebeardedpotato@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

Not saying the stroke turned him into a piece of shit, but if a stroke would turn me into a piece of shit, then I honestly would rather not survive it

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 32 points 10 months ago

Honestly, it's such a boon to the right that the stroke gun happens to turn it's victims into chuds.

I feel like it's a little extreme to wish death upon him though

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 44 points 10 months ago

We need to be More like HIM!

-The DNC after Cuomo LOST the Primary!

[-] pressedhams 17 points 10 months ago

I can say, as a New Yorker, fuck Cuomo.

He's the next Joe Manchin. Mainchin wielded outsized influence being at the extreme edge of the party with an electorate willing to keep him there. Wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman finds that appealing.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 10 months ago

It's worse than that. Fetterman's stroke has caused him to be fully unhinged and irrational. Manchin had motive and purpose: money and power. Fetterman is quite literally delusional from his brain injury.

Connor Lamb, whose base was conservative Democrats, is expected to challenge Fetterman for drifting to the right? The same representative who's also often on lists of Democratic defections? Yeah, that's gonna work.

[-] FamousBlue 10 points 10 months ago

I had exactly the same thought, please for the love of God do not recruit Lamb to run against Fetterman. I never really trusted Fetterman or any "cult of personality" type politician, but the only reason I wanted him to become a Senator was to keep Lamb from reviving the Blue Dog wing of the Senate.

Yes, that's because he's literally a republican.

Oh, never mind, the author of the article seems to have been working there for about a month. I'm guessing they just graduated and started reading political news for the first time last month. That's the only explanation for this article, other than the author being a massive liar or reeeeaaally dumb.

he's literally a republican

No, he isn't literally a Republican

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 8 points 10 months ago

He's a republican for all intents and purposes. But not literally.

[-] mycelium_underground@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

he is literally not literally a republican

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 10 months ago

When he switches sides they'll start gushing about how cool he is in the hoodie.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

Well no shit he had a republistroke

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Direct evidence that conservatism is a result of brain damage.

they sure love a guy with literal brain damage.

[-] humble_boatsman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

We should have known all that smear campaigning on his wealthy upbringing would have bared fruit

[-] Hubbubbub@fedia.io 5 points 10 months ago

Well that's a fucking shock. /s

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 5 points 10 months ago

What, really? Shocked, shocked, I tell you.
