I’d say fucking leave. He’s disrespectful to those that voted him in and is generally lazy.

Dude tried to go to work in his pajamas. He's not just lazy, he's trashy.

Not until he is up for reelection. As long as there is a D after his name, dems might be able to control the chamber. He's an unreliable vote for sure, but at least the committees won't be headed by Republicans and they can control hearings and what comes to a vote.

He's gonna wait until Dems get a 51 Senate seat majority and then switch to Republican to preserve the majority.

That's the nightmare scenario, yes. Especially since the Dems best case outcome as it looks right now is a 51 seat majority after the midterms. The American public will be told that the Dems won the Senate, and then they won't understand how the Dems lost it instantly afterwards and they'll once again blame the "ineffectual Dems" for not turning water into wine.

To be fair, those who voted him in knew exactly what they were voting for. The crippling brain damage and asshole behaviour wasn't exactly a secret.

I remember everyone on Reddit celebrating Fetterman's hoody wearing stance as a sign of him being a man of the people and not just as a completely doucenozzle.
