Which is still a better option than Susan Collins actively destroying America from the inside out. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Eldritch@piefed.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 child) He's about as anti fetterman as his type gets. He literally called fetterman out directly recently. If you want to understand what the state of Maine sees in him. I cannot recommend more ignoring what the mass media is feeding you. And to just go listen to interviews with the man or listen to him speak. Don't allow yourself to be passively manipulated by others about some nebulous thing you are told to fear. When you can listen to them and decide for yourself. The recent sexual assault allegations blew up in the New York Times face. He hasn't taken a single Cent from AIPAC and has called out Israel directly. They are desperate to bring him down. In a field of Shifty hucksters.
