Why does Fetterman look like a bridge troll?

Why is Oz such a shitty person?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Does PA deserve anything better than a Bridge Troll or an Infomercial host?

I've only ever driven through PA, but my instinct is no.

A better question might be: why are people pushing him to keep going when it's clear he still needs therapy?

I'm not sure how Fetterman's disability is any different from mild hearing loss. He makes more sense than Trump when he talks.

Of course, he's also unattractive, and I guess that disqualifies him regardless.

What did Fetterman do to disqualify himself as a Governor? Struggle to answer how exactly he supports fracking in a 2-minute timeframe? Other than making all the fracking wells in the State explode because he speaks more slowly, what real job qualification does he not meet?
*Senator.

What did Fetterman do to disqualify himself as a Senator? Struggle to say why he supports fracking in under 2 minutes? I suppose he won't be able to sit at a desk in the Capitol and push a button if he speaks more slowly.

God damn it! My Senatorial aspirations are toast.

I can sort of agree that senators are just there to take up space and that our politics is fake, but it's interesting to see them admitting it.

Huh, sounds a bit more than mild hearing loss. "I prefer a brain damaged Democrat to this specific (or any) Republican" is a position, I suppose.

Mild? Occasionally? Come on, dude. His brain don't work. Not that it's a disqualification. There are no qualifications. Lots of senators' brains are broke.

Fetterman's approach to his health is a pretty good allegory for how our elites treat governance. He got diagnosed with AFib in 2017, and did absolutely nothing to pursue treatment prior to his stroke.

They keep saying that this is only a temporary problem. Maybe it is. maybe it isn't. But I know for damn sure they have no idea.

The timeline of his stroke is worse than I thought. He had a life threatening stroke a few days before the primary and his team lied about the severity. If this is about securing the seat for team Blue, his people screwed over the party.

They basically Ginsberg'ed the democrats. But for all I know, voters could find it endearing.
