Fetterman: I’ll Never Understand Progressives Who Won’t Support Biden
Sen. John Fetterman has a message for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party: get in line behind President Joe Biden.
“Get behind Joe Biden’s policies, or you’re gonna get behind Trump’s policies,” said the Pennsylvania Democrat.
Fetterman made the remarks during a sit-down with reporters in his Senate office on Tuesday, answering questions with the help of a tablet that displays an instant transcript of reporters’ spoken questions. He continues to recover from an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke that happened during the 2022 campaign.
To illustrate his point, Fetterman hearkened back to his own support for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign as the mayor of Braddock, even after he had supported Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary.
“In 2016, you know, I was a surrogate for Senator Clinton. And it’s just like, you have a choice,” said Fetterman. “And if you don’t get behind Senator Clinton, you know, you are voting for Trump. And that’s exactly what happened in Pennsylvania, and it’s devastating.”
Can anybody confirm if the /r/politics circlejerks are even real people? For a good 4 years I never met anyone who fit the /r/politics vibe outside of that subreddit.
Like I’m trying to emphasize that for 4 years, no notable user in a niche subreddit, nobody on Discord, nobody on other forums, no real life colleague or family member ever actively engaged with that subreddit. The place was always weird.
It’s regional.
I think some locations, like NYC, DC, and significant portions of the west coast are where you’ll find /r/politics enlightened centrists. The lattermost I can confirm for myself.
New England is half Raytheon Libs and half MAGA Chuds
Honestly think they prop up a solid quarter of all American flags sold worldwide
The outer periphery of the Bay Area, especially if you nudge toward its east side away from the coast, is like half bazinga tech liberals that commute to the city up to an hour or two because it’s that unaffordable to live there, even for them. The other half is full blown MAGA chuds with Thin Blue Line flags and huge child crushing trucks.

Real DNC flaks. Reddit has been controlled opposition since the '00s.
I still remember when they posted some airforce base as one of the most reddit addicted cities in 2013. Here’s an archive of that in fact!
i have, i met them playing bar trivia. they always wanted me on their team because the host always asked super niche music and sports questions that i knew the answers to but they also would always try to pick fights with me in between rounds about politics. it didn’t bother me much bc i would just get drunk and lightly bully them over it.
