Fetterman prime example anything is possible in life

That's where our unified, profit-driven, military empowered meddling, interference, and warmongering come in.

Yep, money in the pockets of both sides.

Fetterman won, because Oz was a shit candidate. NJ resident who has made a career pushing snake oil on TV. I guess that's par for the course for the modern Trump endorsed candidate, but it's still shit to the independent-minded voter.

Fetterman won because he ran as a progressive.If Connner Lamb was the nominee he would have lost imo.

I agree, I think this is an advantage. It also (for people who actually pay attention - which unfortunately isn't that many) allows stark contrasts of different approaches so we can see which methods work better than others.

The downside is our influence on the world stage. World leaders are more hesitant to get into bed with us if our policies are changing materially from administration to administration. It used to be that R and D administrations followed regular policy, and had slight differences at the social level. Not anymore.

I would not worry about other countries. They have their own selfish self interests. Just look at Germany vs France for instance, France wants preferential treatment for its businesses with Germany. They also, want Germany to foot the high natural gas bills of other countries after NATO blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, hurting Germany? What about the other countries of the European Union? Like President Donald Trump said when he was in office. He is the President of the United States and represents the US, not other countries.

No, multi-bankrupt con man turned shitty reality tv host w/orange make up and comb over is proof anything is possible in life. Plenty of presidents w/humble beginnings in America's history.

I disagree. I think Lamb would have won easily and pre-stroke Fetterman might have won by a larger margin. However, I think it's because pre-stroke he was a better natural politician than Lamb. Not because he was more progressive. He's just more of the guy that people would have a beer with and he can relate to both the white/black communities. There are plenty of progressives who progressives like that are horrible candidates. Nina Turner comes to mind. You hear people on the left say she should challenge Biden. Her personality would not sell well to white voters and I have no doubt that she would get absolutely obliterated in a general election.

You can say "don't worry about other countries" but the nature of the world is that agreements have to be reached internationally sometimes. That's just the way it works.

But why didn't Beto win? He ran as a progressive.

Life is amazing, even the guy that should be working as a floor cleaner
at Walmart becomes us senator.

Bravo.

Dem's are sooooo stupid, they'd rather elect a "vegetable" than a Republican. (I know, exaggerated and harsh... tongue-in-cheek.)

Does this story sound familiar?

Becomes US Senator. Like I said, congrats, never give up on life, anything
is possible.

bro, did you even look at Nina's polls before the DNC and pro-Israel PACs decided to dump millions on made up hit pieces to have their girl in there? c'mon now.

Fetterman's genius was on running as a prog w/o the label. Prog's policies are popular, the propaganda against the label makes them at times not so.
