Fucking Trump. He got all the loonies to come out in the primaries. And fucking populists. Fetterman got them to come out for him in primaries.

The Senate race should have been Connor Lamb vs. McCormick.
I'm not super close to the race, but I'm curious what you don't like about Fetterman.

In Michigan yes! But before we start sucking each other’s dick Hershel Walker might still be a Senator.

“Start” sucking each other’s dicks?

True enough.

Completely separately, I take it as a point of personal pride that I can run an online forum 1024 weeks longer and much more effectively than the richest person in the world can.

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.

The thing is, Oz is a snake oil salesman prone to weirdness of the right wing kind.

As to your thoughts Fetterman, look, we need to get dim voters as well as smart voters. Every vote is equal. If winning elections means, oh, golly, we even had dim voters supporting us, I'm on board. Republicans have made an art of chasing the dim vote, to the point where they now are overwhelmed with dim candidates.

My biggest disappointment this cycle is that instead of losing and riding off into the sunset on Lenny Dykstra, Boebert looks like she will go back to congress and continue to bring the IQ of the whole institution measurably down.
