In retrospect, we should have paid more attention to the fact that not a single Dem State Rep or Senator in PA endorsed Fetterman in ‘22, despite the fact that he presided over the Legislature during his time as LG.

CNN: William Lawrence wrote a song about hoping moderate Senator Joe Manchin “would hurry up and die” in 2021 over his resistance to the Democrats’ climate agenda.
“Our generation says fuck you for everything,” Lawrence wrote in lyrics he posted in December 2021. “Hurry up and die so that we can get started.”
OK, so this guy's actually normal.
On the plus side, I'd be much happier if the GOP had a thousand John Sununu clones, rather than a bunch of lunatics.
On the minus side, I'd be worried if I were Chris Pappas.
Took some questions the other day from a very impressive young man! As Senator, I will work hard to make New Hampshire an even better place for the next generation.
Left and right are terms that are relative to the political landscape of the country; therefore, the Democratic Party is left-wing, and the Republican Party is right-wing.
Just because there have been parties to the left of the Democrats doesn't mean they're right-wing, like some people claim.
Conor Lamb's probably our best option.
Boyle & Deluzio would be a bit more progressive, but they've got good WAR scores, so they'd be more than acceptable.
I'd make waves for @ConorLambPA in a special election if @SenFettermanPA resigned! It's as safe an environment as we're gonna get if it needs to happen.

@magi_jay@mistergeezy And I honestly was still in the mindset of "Well, antisemitism is really mostly a right-wing thing. We Americans won't fall for Nasserist thought."
At least, till early last year. I was naive about that.
Susan Collins on navigating Trump and why she didn’t take the @Liz_Cheney approach: “What influence does she have today? Really, none… Liz Cheney, it’s not just that she lost her seat. It’s that she has no impact, in my view.”
