John Fetterman says he'll 'never understand' progressives who refuse to support Joe Biden - eviltoast

The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    I was very excited about Hillary and Biden. I volunteered for their campaigns. I’m a liberal. I love liberal candidates, in general

    John Kerry is the political equivalent of plain vanilla ice cream. Sure it’s ice cream. But it isn’t anything to get worked up about.

    My post is about how I will generally vote for people I don’t necessarily like to be President if it means a liberal gets in. I’m not blindly loyal, but I’m sure as shit not allowing a Trump or Ramaswamy in over like, Sanders, if he’d won.

    I hope our President in 28 is Buttigieg. Dude lights a fire in me. If he loses the primary, I will still almost certainly be voting for the Democrat, because insane felons dont win the Democrat primary, so I’m unlikely to have an ethical crisis over it. I’ll take a full on Sanders progressive over any Republican these days.

      Hillary is a fantastic government worker, policy nerd, etc. I wish the Presidency wasn’t such a popularity contest because she’s the kind of person that can get things done. Same really goes for Kerry. Both fantastic Secretary of States.
