As long as they have a plan to win. No repeats of throwing Manchin out but having not anyone to replace him and ending up with the much worse Jim Justice -- please

HonoredPeople Mar 27, 2026 +24
I don't know. Manchin was ... just such a problem child. At least if the seat was R, we'd know exactly what we'd get. Manchin had the ability to affect issues inside of the party and adapt the bills towards a... more problematic slant. Sinema was in it for the cash. Fetterman is just pure brain rotted. I don't know what ate up his brain. Maybe a worm? Maybe an amoeba? Maybe roids? At this point, Fetterman is destroying the brand. He's gotta go.

>Fetterman is just pure brain rotted. I don't know what ate up his brain. Maybe a worm? Maybe an amoeba? Maybe roids? Dude had a stroke.
28
HonoredPeople Mar 27, 2026 +8
Had something. Could a stroke account for that level of change? I mean. I guess it's possible. Regardless. He's bad for the brand. Still gotta go.

brandnewbanana Mar 27, 2026 +9
Yup, a frontal brain injury, whether from stroke or trauma, can change a person’s personality completely. It really affects impulse control.
9
SweetLittleOldLady Mar 28, 2026 +7
Yes, a stroke can totally change a person's personality. It can turn a sweet, nice person into a violent killer.
7
HonoredPeople Mar 28, 2026 +4
Ok, I can understand that. So. They most likely questions are thus; Did the stroke fundamentally change Fetterman into something new? Or was he always baseline and the stroke just gave him a gentle nudge?
4
Enigma_Stasis Mar 27, 2026 +25
Brain damage from the stroke. There's plenty of documented cases of someone's entire personality and belief structure completely reversing after a stroke.

fascistno1hater Mar 28, 2026 +5
I call BS dude has always been this way. Follow the money that flows to his campaigns and all will be revealed.

slipperyMonkey07 Mar 28, 2026 +7
I think it is more that pre stroke he was a lot better at hiding it or playing the middle ground. My friend in PA basically said a lot of news didn't make it out of state outside of the big things about him, like the few liberal ish things and not wearing a suit stuff did. He was always still a middle of the road, slightly conservative dem. Stroke may of pushed him farther right depending on location. He also benefitted a lot from being against Oz, who has always been full on the grift brigade. So options were a manchin type who might not fully be with the dems but still better than a full pedophile protector. Otherwise there is a decent amount documentation and studies out there showing severe head trauma and brain damage leading to more conservative views. You can see it in a lot of sports professionals.

Manchin voted with the Dems at least sometimes. That's better than never which is what Justice is. Sometimes, we are putting too much emotion into this and not being practical. If we're going to remove someone we need a plan to replace them The Sinema situation was handled way better

ral315 Mar 27, 2026 +8
I'm not in WV, but it was my understanding that Manchin retired primarily because polling showed that Jim Justice would kick his ass in 2024 - not because he was worried about losing a primary or activists were making things difficult. He escaped in a close race in 2018 primarily because it was a wave election for Dems... had he run in 2014 or 2016 I think he loses that race. Those rural states and districts that still had Democratic representation were always ticking clocks waiting to go off, cycle after cycle - and everyone knew that once the incumbent Dem lost in each of those races, it would be a Republican seat for decades. When I briefly worked in politics 15 years ago, I worked a race in a rural, SW Virginia senate district. The senator I worked for (a conservative, pro-gun, pro-life Dem) won, but retired a few years later. He's probably the last Dem that county will see in my lifetime. In 2008, they went for McCain, 55-43, but it was still a winnable area with the right candidate/cycle. In 2024, they went for Trump 83-16.

NeverForgetJ6 Mar 27, 2026 +6
We need to be strategic here. There should be enough Dems in Pennsylvania who want to replace Fetterman with nearly anyone other than a Republican to make the plan work: 1) 1/2 the Dems switch to parties and submit primary votes for the candidate who has no chance in the general election (there’s plenty of crazy in the GOP pool right now, so this part of the group will just need to consolidate their votes for a single one of the goons), and 2) The rest continue to cast a vote in the Democratic Party. Ideally, they coalesce around a single candidate not named Fetterman. 3) run a third party candidate with the name John Fetterman. Their politics don’t really matter. We don’t want or need them to win. We just need them in the general election to siphon off votes. Enough of this “when they go low we sit down and lose” c***. Time to fight back in the corrupt game called “electoral democracy” so we have a hope of not getting slaughtered (in the next election and also quite literally if fascists continue to “win”).

>1) 1/2 the Dems switch to parties and submit primary votes for the candidate who has no chance in the general election (there’s plenty of crazy in the GOP pool right now, so this part of the group will just need to consolidate their votes for a single one of the goons) This so-called "strategy" of trying to make the absolute worst possible candidate the w***** of the opposition's primary is also part of the path that got us Trump. Yes in a few cases it has made it an "easy win" for the Democrat in the general, but it can also backfire spectacularly. As it did when Hillary Clinton's team made it a goal to get the media to promote Donald Trump as the republican primary w***** in 2016, because her team decided Trump would be oh-so-much-easier to beat in the general than someone like Jeb Bush. [They Always Wanted Trump (Politico)](https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/hillary-clinton-2016-donald-trump-214428) Young voters and disaffected voters are going to be turned off by sneaky "black ops" style election games. Yet it always seems to be the first choice of establishment party consultants and strategists, usually centrists and former Republicans, who are partly to blame for the Democratic Party having such sky high disapproval polls. Let's get good candidates, good policies, new younger blood, and work on repairing a very much damaged Democrat reputation. Voters want someone they admire and want to follow, not someone focused on the best donor fundraising strategies or the sneakiest black ops style campaigning.

Zaza1019 Mar 27, 2026 +5
I'd rather a Republican win than a Manchin/Fetterman type. At least when shit goes wrong people might put the blame on the right party. And at least they aren't going to claim to be Democrats and do a switch the second they get in power. It's partly why I will not be supporting Conner Lamb if he runs, not because I don't trust him to an extent, but he's a centrist who will be too wishy washy probably.

Honestly though, is this even good? One of the reasons we have trump is 5737395 "normal" Republicans split the not-trump-or-cruz vote until it was way too late.

Tough for him to win a Republican primary
243
Solarflare_V9404 Mar 27, 2026 +198
Yup. His opponents would just mention he’s still woke, mention he was a democrat, pull up old ad’s and tweets when he ran against Dr Oz in 2022, and squash him right then and there. That’s why someone like Tulsi Gabbard never switched parties and ran, and just took grifter jobs. Because a republican primary opponent would just pull up posts and videos of her supporting Bernie Sanders, or mentioning she’s a coastal elite from Hawaii. I think people forget sometimes, that republican primaries get way nastier than anything else. They are worse to each other than they are to democrats actually. They’ll all fall in line for Trump, but against each other it gets absolutely disgusting. Hell that’s the biggest reason why Trump has ruled with an iron fist over the gop since 2016, because he cuts other republicans down all the way. Like “Meatball Ron and Nasty Nikki Hayley”

Flashy-Ingenuity-182 Mar 27, 2026 +7
They would say the same thing if she endorsed Harris or Biden or any other centrist Democrat and that's the whole reason we are supposed to elect centrists so this really isn't the burn you think it is.

ImDonaldDunn Mar 28, 2026 +6
The only way I could see this working is if he goes full “why I left the left” and embraces h******* right wing culture war nonsense. Which I wouldn’t put past him tbh

Yeah there’s no way. And even if he did he would get demolished in the general anyway.

RegularLeading5200 Mar 27, 2026 +18
Doubt it. He’s barely showing up as it is, other than to vote, and I think it’s much more likely he just retires. But if he does switch and tries to run, well, look at Arlen Specter in 2010. Why would primary voters back a flip-flopper when they can just vote for a real candidate? It’s why Specter lost the Democratic primary after flipping. Fetterman wouldn’t stand a chance.
18
xXxT4xP4y3R_401kxXx Mar 27, 2026 +14
More insidious - he's gonna wait until dems pick up 4 Senate seats in the fall and then switch to hand control back to Rs.

ElonMuskysucks Mar 27, 2026 +2
I think he knows he can't win as a Republican even though he tried his best to act as one. I don't think he's a moderate Dem or an Independent, I think he's not well. If he loses in a Dem Primary, he'll be able to figure things out and maybe get better or at least not harm anyone with his nonsensical votes. Connor Lamb needs to run again.

For all that's good and holy, pick one and rally behind them. Don't pull a CA where the frontrunners are GOP because the Dem vote is diluted.

It’s still a problem in general with the party. It comes from having a decided lack of strong leadership at the top.

Intelligent_Taco Mar 27, 2026 +12
While true, the CA jungle primary (read open primary), is the primary issue causing this situation. If it was a closed primary then it would Dem v. Dem and Rep v. Rep.

Raise_A_Thoth Mar 27, 2026 +8
Dem leadership is pretty damn strong. But they wield that strength for center-right interests, not the left. That's the real key.

VotingRightsLawyer Mar 27, 2026 +4
They don't have the same system but it would still be an issue. There needs to be a united anti-Fetterman vote because too many candidates could let him win with a smaller percentage of vote share.
4
a-warm-fuzzy-feeling Mar 27, 2026 +3
Yup. Essentially it's the same as how Trump 1.0 got the GOP nomination in 2016. If there had been a consolidated "normal" candidate, he likely never would have been nominated.
3
gdex86 Mar 27, 2026 +17
There'd be a primary where Fetterman would have to win to be the official nominee. We have a "sore loser" law in which if you run for a primary nomination and lose cant appear on the general ballot for local state and federal elections. I guess technically he could just declare himself as an independent and then let there be a primary without him so he could appear on thd ballot.
17
Anonnymoose73 Mar 27, 2026 +9
You aren’t wrong, but there is also more nuance to the California situation and it happens every few years. Right now, undecided voters are leading - I’m one of them. If polled right now, I would say I’m undecided, but there is absolutely no way I will be voting for a Republican, and I’m guessing that’s what the majority of undecided voters are experiencing. I’m not saying it’s in the bag that there will be at least one Dem on the ballot, but I do think it’s more likely than not.
9
IfOneThenHappy Mar 27, 2026 +3
That seems exactly the reason why two Rs may come out, because the majority are undecided and there's a big handful of D candidates to split between, and none of them stand out.
3
Anonnymoose73 Mar 28, 2026 +2
It is possible, but I’ve seen this same pattern happen before where it looks like the Dems are split and the Republican could win, and in the end it hasn’t happened. I’m not saying it’s in the bag, I’m just saying it’s not as dire as it looks from the outside
2
alabasterskim Mar 28, 2026 +2
Virtually no other states have that jungle primary system (and fewer have it as badly implemented as CA) so the point is moot.

He's still a pro-life dem, which will put a lot of people off. While he says choice is the law of the land, trusting him to actually vote choice if it matters is iffy.
14
I_divided_by_0- Mar 28, 2026 +12
April 2022. I went to a dem meeting where he spoke. He talked about working with republicans. I raised my hand and asked him "you going to work with the left?" he replied about being harassed by leftists groups and I replied to that "that's accountability" , his only retort was "accountability goes both ways" I hope he changed his tune.

I am a Pennsylvanian. I had been a registered independent my whole life with zero desire to choose a party. I switched to democrat just so I could vote for Fetterman in the primary. I am so... F******... Pissed. I have been on the phone with his office every single day since he voted to confirm Mullen. One of his staff members told me, in no uncertain terms, that they received far more calls from constituents asking him to vote against confirmation than for. The man is compromised. He should do the right thing and resign but he won't do our only hope is to vote in him out.

Good, because he really let us down! I am so disgusted and disappointed in him. If I hear him say 'Trump derangement syndrome' one more time, I will throw up. I don't know if his stroke altered his brain, and I am sorry if it did, but this is not the same guy.

As far as I can tell, Fetterman's support has bottomed out completely, and he is no longer in play. His office is up for grabs.
4
MassiveMulberries Mar 27, 2026 +4
It was only a matter of time. Fetterman has spent the last two years systematically alienating the progressive base that put him in office. You can't spend your weekends trolling your own constituents on X and expect them to show up for you when the primary rolls around.

Do it. Plan it. Be prepared. Please find someone viable. Look here in NJ. Cory Booker is not facing a primary challenge, and I wish he were. Do I hate Booker? No. I just think we can do better. But, it's too late now, so whatever.
2
Roentgen_Ray1895 Mar 28, 2026 +1
Booker doing his performative filibuster that blocked nothing important and then immediately calling his publisher to print out his memoir of how stunning and brave his filibuster was is just really emblematic of the entire party
1
imtoowhiteandnerdy Mar 28, 2026 +2
I would vote for a Republican before I voted to re-elect Fetterman. At least with a Republican you know what you're going to get. But yeah, I hope a real progressive primaries the damn fool.

He’s not going to be challenged because he’s not going to try and run. Whatever internal polling Sinema had got her to drop before the primary (which she had also dropped out of to be independent by that point). I can only imagine what Fettermans internal numbers look like. If he tried to run he might be the first guy to somehow win negative votes in the D primary.

Will Shapiro run against Fetterman?

The Democratic party can just kick him out, right? Then maybe run a primary with zero conservative candidates and he's got to run independent or republican if he wants to continue?

Somewhat interesting to see Susan Wild considering this. I feel like she might be able to pull a Bob Casey endorsement, and she was also pretty close with Shapiro from the vibes I got, which might clear the primary field in her favor if he endorses her (depending on how his reelection goes this year). Shapiro and Fetterman hate each other so I’m sure he’s looking for someone to endorse in the 2028 senate primary, especially if he’s on the Democratic presidential ticket in 2028. But as a house member Wild was always pretty centristy and was always an unconditional yes for for endless military spending. If the primary ended up being only her vs Fetterman obviously I’d vote for her since anyone’s an improvement over him. But I’m sure a Senator Wild would still be trying to find ways to vote with republicans and continue the unconditional funding for the pentagon.

Good he lost his grip after his stroke family friends and colleagues say that he is short tempered now depressed and angry. Sounds a lot like a republican he should run as a republican. That really tells you something...if you have a stroke and suddenly you start mimicking Republicans

Pick someone who can beat the Republican. Barely won last time with this moderate. Do not do typical dumb Democrat things. We need to pick up the Independents.

I read once here on Listnook that those people who grew up in the state knew that he was really right aligned but his stroke really just highlighted his dem creds. The guy is a f***. I hope he loses. Badly.

I’m starting to wish senate terms were maybe 4 years instead of 6. I get that the design was for more stability and continuity in governance, but the presidency is a 4 year term and the public accept that as a reasonable timeframe for leadership. I think 4 year Senate terms would still provide continuity, while allowing us to have more frequent referendums on the job performance of senators. Six years is a long time to be stuck with someone who betrayed a multitude of campaign promises/stances, no matter the reason.

Get someone who isn’t a corporate dem so you don’t end up in the same position. Try and vote someone in with morals who isn’t taking AIPAC or other Israel lobbyist money.

There's blood in the water. It's like the election versus Trump in 2020, but hopefully the people of Pennsylvania don't repeat the same mistake on a local scale that America made on the national one.

Shenanigan_V Mar 28, 2026 +1
Can we as Democrats agree on one great progressive candidate and one establishment moderate to face off against Fetterman? Running too many liberals just gives the centrists the ability to divide and conquer with full support from the DNC. Illinois kept Raja out of the Senate, but the primary could have gone either way. Without ranked choice, we’re our own worst enemy.
