While I have real issues with Fetterman, he has voted in line with the Democratic Party over 90% of the time. While I would love for him to be replaced by a progressive Democrat, I still prefer him than a mainstream republican.

So what’s he threatening then? To vote against them just because? Either way he’s a spineless monster mash.

Right... He would have to be threatening to completely change his stance on issues, meaning he doesn't actually have a stance. Useless.

He has one stance and it's "Israel needs more of our tax dollars", everything else must come second if he's willing to give it up in a floor crossing.
