I don't really dislike either of them too much. Oz was a boring moderate R and Fetterman does have an earnest focus on helping the "left behind" sorts in PA.
My gripe about populists supporting Fetterman is he attracted a lot of the dim voters. People for whom residence is most important, and "lookin' like us." I'm more annoyed that the Commonwealth is so provincial, so parochial, than I am at Fetterman. He actually ran brilliant campaigns to position himself to beat Conor Lamb in the primary and then to beat Oz in the general.
Trump courted the same populists in 2016. Grabbed the "You can have a beer with me, and I'll bring your jobs back" vote.
