John Fetterman's Net Approval Dropped By More Than 100 Points Since His Election In Pennsylvania | "There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," CNN's Harry Enten said

What’s terrifying is if the Dems somehow take control of the senate, this guy will continue voting R. What a disappointment this guy has been.

While acknowledging that it’s sad for him/ his family that he had a major stroke, it’s actually pretty funny that this guy suffered brain damage and then essentially became a republican.

Can confirm. I voted for him. I regret it. It's obvious he's not planning on running again. The only thing left to figure out is if he's planning on hanging on for his full term before pivoting his career towards Fox News pundit.

Conservatives, without a hint of irony, are praising Fetterman for being “bipartisan” and “putting country before party,” in voting to advance Markwayne Mullins nomination while skewering Rand Paul for doing the same thing because it’s a vote in the opposite direction.

He looks like a dude unhappy to be at his daughters basketball game because he doesn’t like women or basketball. 

If my readings of mythology were anywhere close to accurate, this dude should be living under a bridge waiting for children to pass so he could club them and eat their bones

It's because he was always kind of a d***, but he had a stroke, got shoot brain damage and now identifies as Kyrsten Sinema.

Brain damage = MAGA

Fetterman is a perfect case study that no one in politics wants to touch. His massive stroke caused documented brain damage that has produced dramatic personality shifts. This has been confirmed by his own staff, his former chief of staff's letter to his neuropsychiatry team, and observable behavioral changes including paranoia, disinhibition, impulsivity, and grandiosity. This profile is consistent with damage to the prefrontal cortex and loss of executive function. Here's the part that should make everyone uncomfortable: he simultaneously underwent a hard shift from progressive populist to authoritarian Trump bootlicker, and that's not a coincidence. Research shows that damage to the prefrontal cortex is directly and proportionally correlated with extreme right-wing views. I.e. the greater the damage, the more pronounced the authoritarian impulses become. \- [Authoritarianism, religious fundamentalism, and the human prefrontal cortex](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22612576/) \- [Toward a neuropsychology of political orientation: exploring ideology in patients with frontal and midbrain lesions](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7935085/) This is a flashing neon sign that many supposed right-wing "beliefs" are better understood as symptoms of neurological impairment and cognitive decline. And given that the U.S. is run by an extreme gerontocracy, most of our long-serving elected officials have already sustained some measurable degree of age-related brain deterioration in exactly these regions. Hence the ongoing rightward shift of our national politics over the past decades.

Well, there's no historical analog to his betrayal of everything he supposedly stood for. He's proof positive we need recall elections for federal politicians.

When a politician is this unpopular, but doesn't seem to care about his political fate, you have to wonder who is financially taking care of this politician? If its not the voters, then who is doing it? Who are his donors?

Im confused, how does something drop more than 100%?

Excusing his bullshit as being caused by brain damage, is giving him the easy way out. He didn't change because of a stroke. He just showed that he's an opportunist and there's more money for him on the MAGA side of the aisle.

He's worked super hard to set this record. So, well-deserved

If you support the trump regime, I do not support you. Simple as that.

I'm pretty sure the historical analog is Benedict Arnold...

The man is a traitorous greedy coward simple as that.

Shouldn't there be some kind of legal mechanism that can be enforced if a candidate runs on a platform, gets elected, and then goes 100% against the platform they ran on? Like, that's definitely some kind of fraud.

I dislike how people are saying he's being centrist or conservative, he's being foolish and sloppy. He's more Kyrsten Sinema than Joe Manchin. You knew where Manchin stood and you knew what you needed to do to get him on board. Manchin would use his leverage for the benefit of his constituents. Fetterman is just voting for Trump just to vote for Trump.

Can a state like PA call for a recall or check on his mental state?

Im curious, what scale are they using where someone can drop by 100 points? I thought it was a % approval rating so in my head that means he was once at 100% and is now at 0%, obviously not true, but I don’t get what a 100 point drop represents?

Fetterman should be the cautionary tale about social media fervor when picking progressive candidates, especially if those voices consider "beating the establishment" boogeyman" to be their primary goal (vs say trying to enact progressive policies). Truly astounding that the left leaning independent media said this guy was the progressive choice.

Aren't there recall options?

He looks like he smells

Proof that brain damage causes conservatism

AIPAC plant

He doesn't represent the people who voted for him in the slightest. What a POS.

Fetterman is the definition of a dipshit.

Get brain damage, become a republican. Sounds about right. 

I have a hard time fathoming the fact that we don’t have a form of recall for traitors that were elected by us, only to switch sides. I don’t care about brain damage, it shouldn’t be allowed.gtfo traitor.

There really needs to be a way for constituants to recall a representative who isn't performing as a genuine representative of the majority of their district.

He so unpopular that he should run for president under the MAGA party.

Get the F*** out of our party and go represent Israel, traitor.

Every single republican is evil. This admin should be enough proof. They are the worst, because they aren't American. They are selfish.

He doesn't care, he's there to represent Israel, not his constituents.

The dude running for Collins’ Senate seat in ME is also a MAGA plant.

Stroke Phineas Gage'd him.

Harry Enten saying there's no historical analog is just a polite way of saying the charts don't go that low.

There’s probably some senators that pulled this shit that got tarred and feathered though

Fetterman has compromat for sure. He's basically unrecognizable from his campaign. He won, and then had to go against all of his principals to avoid whatever shit they've got on him.

Democrat candidates only have to be a hair better than a Republican to be the better option. The other option was Dr. Oz. So....primary the b******.

I think he should just relocate to Israel asap!

Well, given that he ran as a pro-labor, pro-Union liberal, but has been the token Democrat to rubber stamp some of Trumps worst policies and appointments, which actively work against labor and union interests, I’m unsurprised.

Can’t find a Fetterman

If progressives or leftists ever gain some power in our government, we need recall options for all politicians in every position of power. We shouldn’t be stuck with these monsters because they lied or got paid off

he's probably being a mopey little b**** about it as we speak. does baby need his Starbucks to get out of bed because people are so mean? poor little neanderthal

Count your days, loser! Vote him out!

He ran on a left leaning platform then flipped after taking office. He should be removed and charged with fraud.

This week on “Biggest Loser”…

Brain damage is crazy.

Turncoats are not popular

We need recalls baaaad.

I don’t understand how our government system was so short sighted. There should always be a way for politicians to be removed by public vote. Things like this with a massive polling swing should automatically start a special election.

He was never a democrate. People site his head injury as the reason for his shift but he was a plant all along.

He has a podcast lined up or is joining “The Five” on Fox News There’s no other explanation

In 2003 California voted to recall Governor Gray Davis, then elected Arnold Schwarzenegger governor. It's kind of crazy that a state can't remove a Senator who has pulled such a crazy bait and switch. Other than the senator resigning or dying, it takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate to remove a senator, and you know Republicans aren't gonna do that

He got brain damage and went full GOP

He’s become a babbling GOP POS

He got brain damage and turned conservative. Pretty simple. People didn't vote for the broken version.

We had to suffer through Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, now Fetterman and to some extent Schumer. These people are OUR representatives who appear to have been flat out bribed or just more invested in Israel over the United States. Fetterman’s arrogance is awful the final straw for me was seeing him wear a suit for Trump and Netanyahu. This is a guy who wears shorts in the winter and hoodies to the senate floor, his exceptions were awful.

I wonder what Trump has on him.

He did the Elon Musk on Reddit...I remember when Musk was such a hero here and now you're not likely to find many people here singing his praises. The same for Fetterman. I was looking at a thread from 3 years ago and the amount of glazing in the thread was off the charts. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

>"There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," CNN's Harry Enten said when describing the senator's current approval levels. "There's no historical analog to his unpopularity," he added. He added what he already said?

An absolute scumbag and also a very disgusting looking individual similar to s Huckabee Sanders

I don't understand why he still claims to be a Democrat. He does all the Republican news shows and hypes up all the Republican policies.

Should be forced to resign.

Outdoing Sinema is quite an accomplishment.
