No matter who the candidates are you will never vote D in a presidential election?
Not 'no matter', because anything can happen (evil tyrant as candidate - real tyrant, not Trump derangement type). But as a general rule, even if I like the D candidate better, I will not vote for them because they come along with the D agenda.

Disclaimer: I will likely vote for Fetterman when he runs for reelection, just because of his support for Israel.

Having said that, based on his Rogan episode, I am very unimpressed with him. He didn't say much of substance, beyond his canned talking points.

It is possible that he comes across that way because if his difficulty in communicating, but my impression was that he doesn't have much depth to himself.

that's what was so amazing about him. he was never terribly deep or sophisticated, or even particularly smart. (his sweatshirt is honest marketing).
the beauty was just the willingness to just follow simple common sense

I have come to believe he is the type of politician we never get to see: one who views himself as a true representative of the people who elected him. He's not there to come up with genius solutions, or to say what he thinks will advance his career on a nationwide level. He's just a regular guy trying to make sure that what people in his district want is represented.

That's the thing. Based on what he said in the episode, it is only his style of speaking that is like a regular person. The content of (almost) everything he says is the same as what any other Democrat politician would say.

just to play devils advocate, are you sure PA is so super duper sparks flying pro Israel as fetterman is, or is stam fetterman seeing the truth and sticking to it with all his might?

I’m not saying PA is specifically NOT pro Israel, but I doubt fetterman gauged the people of pa to discern what his position should be before going all out in support of Israel. I’d say many pa residents were just as surprised to hear of his support as we were.
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Anyone who was shocked was never listening. He was openly very pro-Israel when he ran.

I think most of us got a picture of this guy from how the media on both sides portrayed him. If you look through his stances on policy, he's not as progressive as he's been made out to be, and he's even somewhat conservative on some issues.

Thanks for this.
Mostly fair and sensible answers.
From the clips they throw around,  I wouldn't have thought so.

he is a D.
Probably won't agree with him on many policy issues.
That's what makes his common sense on this issue so refreshing
