Kick his ass out and off the ballot. Maybe he can f up the Republican primary.
This system is a pile of shit.
If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you? Shouldn’t that be cause for removal in its own? You work for me, idrgaf what your opinions are.
John Fetterman is also a piece of shit.
Lower levels have “recall elections” for this explicit reason.
They’re not built into Senatorships, because people weren’t even supposed to vote for Senator’s, state governments were supposed to just appoint them as the states representatives
The house was for the people to have representation, not the Senate.
We’re way past the point of salvaging our system, there’s a reason the founder’s wanted to redo the constitution every 20 years
I just finished reading Allow Me to Retort, which is brilliant:
https://thenewpress.org/books/allow-me-to-retort/
It is an in-depth review of what a dumpster fire the US Constitution is.
Lower levels have “recall elections” for this explicit reason.
States have rolled a lot of that back, or made it so prohibitively expensive to attempt that only billionaires can oust a state politician they don’t like.
I might argue that the problem isn’t Fetterman specifically, but the stakes at play when someone like Fetterman is a singular representative for 13M people. One Fetterman in a sea of politicians would be annoying but incidental. One in a tiny cabal that’s on a tipping point of partisan control is glaring in it’s corruption.
“(…) the Senate ruled in 1798 that senators could not be impeached, but only expelled (…)
In other words: they are generally more immune than the president.
What a fun flavor democracy the US has.
Something something constitutional republic
Funny how we champion “Democracy” when our system never really was one.
The U.S. really need a party whipping system closer to that of the UK; the current system lets candidates drastically switch platforms after being elected without any short-term consequences.
Eh, the issue is in my opinion that one side harshly whips their side into holding rank until recently, and the other does nothing.
If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you?
You have to wait six years, and then you get to primary.
This is because the Founding Fathers, in all their wisdom, determined that loud patriotic farting noises
@stermy4u He and the rest of them should be removed. But since rich criminals are killing this country, it won’t happen for generations.
How does one stumble across townflex? A ‘global news, breaking news, entertainment news, financial insights, music review, and lyrics breakdown’ company based out of Ghana with a single employee.
This “reporter” has no existence that I can find outside of this website. No photo, but she does have a green checkmark beside her name on her reporter profile page though. Townflex verified, I guess.
There’s very little chance that this site isn’t AI regurgitation of real reporting.
Yup, I smell a shill.
Good riddance.
Gtfo already! No one likes you, except the republicunts. You are a traitor.
He exited a long time ago…
Apparently he’s always been an ass and he was only just better than Oz. So much for blue no matter who.
He hasn’t been a Democrat since he got the brain damage. No tears will be shed if you go bye bye
We need the headcount…but beyond that he’s as useless as it’s on a boar…
Bye Felicia.
This isn’t an airport, my dude, and you don’t have to announce your impending departure when you’re already so far gone. Beat it, quietly, and wait for the next primary.
Has he ever been?
GOOD.
Well as I understand hes been voting Republican since the beginning so…true colors?
Go ahead Mr. Fetterman: improve the Democratic party.
Why would this be a threat? He already votes Republican on things that matter.
He swapping his “D” for an “R” is no material difference unless there’s something I’m unaware of.
