Fetterman: I'll Never Understand Progressives Who Won't Support Biden
Sen. John Fetterman has a message for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party: get in line behind President Joe Biden.
"Get behind Joe Biden's policies, or you're gonna get behind Trump's policies," said the Pennsylvania Democrat.
Fetterman made the remarks during a sit-down with reporters in his Senate office on Tuesday, answering questions with the help of a tablet that displays an instant transcript of reporters' spoken questions. He continues to recover from an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke that happened during the 2022 campaign.
To illustrate his point, Fetterman hearkened back to his own support for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign as the mayor of Braddock, even after he had supported Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary.
"In 2016, you know, I was a surrogate for Senator Clinton. And it's just like, you have a choice," said Fetterman. "And if you don't get behind Senator Clinton, you know, you are voting for Trump. And that's exactly what happened in Pennsylvania, and it's devastating."
Pretty sure there were already US troops in Syria "doing stuff" so it wouldn't be that hard to just start escalating things to the point that "oops, we did a carpet bombing".
like you could've escalated Syria into a world war for sure, if you wanted, but i what i don't see is a reason Clinton would've been more obliged than Trump to have done that.
I mean, Libya was a Clinton project right? Turned that place into a nightmare for, practically no other reason than to show that "I've got what it takes to run with the Boys!"
the reason was the ownership of the oilfields. there is no reality in which Trump or some other republican would not have jumped right on that.
Which is weird, 'cause with my baby brained understanding of Ghadaffi, he would regularly swing back and forth between being okay working the USA and that seems like it could have made better long term sense to keep him around as a handy face/heel instead of fully going through with a coup that can't be good for oil production/distribution.
