Aw, look everyone. Ben Shabibo told him to what to think & he regurgitated it here like a good little conservative.
This you?
You already tried this twice accusing others of insults whilst dropping jabs yourself. You can dish it, but you can't take it, another trait of your right-wing grifters who determine your thoughts for you. But, this likely means you're also at the point of running back to the GT section because that's also what happened last time we got to this point.

Which he acknowledges and say's he wasted his youth as a result, news flash, he'd neither a baby or kid anymore.
Not the insult you think it is.
Untrue
Wrongly convicted and assumes they have no personal agency.
Who said of him "(Fetterman) lied about everything" that happened during the incident, but had "done far more good than that one bad act" and, "should not be defined by it", and hoped he would win the Senate race.
He wears casual clothes unless required to wear a suit by his job's dress code, as a huge number of people do, myself included.
Oh dear, this again.
I did, it takes seconds and demonstrates your continued desire to lie and misslead.

This sub forum is such an echo chamber.
So racial profiling and vigilantism is ok when Fetterman does it? Gotcha
It's so funny to have people tell you what you are. Because I've been labeled from one stance I took.
Another mis quote. Fetterman is a socialist. Many here are too. And some are liberal.
If I link an article from Fox, Daily Wire, or any other "right wing" outlet, how is that different from your link from CNN, Politico, axios, etc? Would it matter? Nope
And, you already know this, but our form of government is not a democracy. No matter how many times Joe says it.

It's amazing how often we hear this from people - not least of which because it comes from people with views across the political spectrum.
What's truly stunning is that these people can even express their opinion that their opinions are being silenced (which is what an echo chamber requires) in the sub-forum in which their opinions are apparently being silenced.
Of course what's actually happening is you're being allowed to put forward some views so badly formed that Louisiana would still make you give birth to it, and other users are being allowed to point out just how unexamined those views are. And you don't like being told you're wrong, so you're repeatedly going on the offensive - and then playing the victim.
That's a very odd interpretation you have there. It pretty much seems to be the case that everyone's said it wasn't okay at all, but when even the victim of it is saying it was a bad and stupid thing to do but thinks the guy learned from his stupid actions and has turned things around to the point even he'd vote for him, you kind of have to wonder why anyone else is white-knighting on the victim's behalf.

Nope, not even close, but I suspect that's the kind of environment you are used to partaking in political discourse in.
Said no-one here.
No, from numerous stances you have taken.
Who misquoted you? You're going to have to quote them for us to know.
Then you will have no problem demonstrating he is.
Without context this is meaningless, but you might want to take a look at the track record of accuracy of those two sample groups first.
Not this bobbins again, the US is a democratic republic, one of the many forms of democracy that exist

Nah, he's trotting out the old right-wing (normally on the further reaches) claim that the US isn't a democracy because it's a republic. Something that fails on numerous points, the main one being it's perfectly possible to be both, a number of countries are.
Prior to the forming of the US the two terms were used pretty much interchangeably, as the dictionary definition of the two terms demonstrates
- Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..."[1]
- Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."

How is Daily Wire no different from CNN? Lmao, a 12 year old can fact check Daily Wire, esp through their videos bc they contradict themselves frequently.
“Fetterman chased a black guy.” A) That’s the sort of stuff Daily Wire viewers get hard on, so why is that painted as a negative. B) Don’t bother sharing Fetterman apologized and the guy still endorsed him.

The term "socialist" has a very broad definition. So broad that it's almost meaningless. I'd guess that you are also a socialist in a technical sense. If you want that term to have meaning, you'd need to come up with maybe a flavor of socialism, or some kind of useful narrowing of the term.

Just for some context on Biden tweeting “democracy”, it’s a whole thing going on over the last day or two on Twitter. Amtrak tweeted the single word “trains” and got something like 14,000 likes in four hours. Suddenly all sorts of corporate accounts big and small jumped on the bandwagon. WaPo tweeted “news”. RiffTrax tweeted “riffs”. Mail chimp: “emails”. Marriott: “hotels” NASA: “universe”. Someone at the White House was on top of their social media trends and had Joe Biden tweet “democracy”. It should be a statement that all Americans embrace, but as we’re seeing with the outrage on the Right, they don’t want democracy. They want authoritarianism. They want Fascism. And they’re being very open about it now.

CNN, Axios and Politico are more or less huddled together at being more factual than Fox News and Daily Wire, along with them being about a -6 (which is just into the "skews to the left" grouping) versus the 18 (which is right on the line between "skews right" and "hyper-partisan right"). If you were linking to a news article that was at a -18, I can almost assure you that we'd welcome that as much as we do the likes of Fox and Daily Wire.
Holy crap, dude. 🤣

Its not that Socialism is bad. I mean, its a good in theory. it just doesn't have a good track record of working on any kind of large scale in modern times. Sweden has gotten the closest, but I wouldn't even really consider that Socialism. Not to mention its one of the hardest countries in Europe to immigrate to. Sweden works mainly because there aren't a whole lot of poor people, and you basically need to already have a job lined up to immigrate there. Not a very bottom-heavy country is probably the best way of putting it.
All of the morning radio show here in America are up in arms about Biden's speech. Although I agree that labeling 75 million people as threats probably isn't the smartest thing, I definitely see the politics in his comment. If Dems can't get the turnout here in a couple months, they're gonna get schlacked big time. This is exactly what a large portion of the Biden base thinks, and probably needs to hear so they show up to the polls.
Regardless, it sucks right now in America, where large swaths of both sides thinks the other side are threats to the country.

Oh dear, so wrong it almost comes full circle.
Oh and Sweden with its 14% immigrant population, that anyone from an EU country can move to (with or without a job), really really difficult to move to my arse. Did you even bother checking that before writing it, or let me guess you only did so from a US perspective?
Sweden - OECD
www.oecd.org
All of them, or all of the ones you listen to? As I'm going to guess they aren't an exact match on a venn diagram.
One side is a threat to the country, and it's the one you seem to support. Did you miss they attempting an insurection?

That's actually a fair argument to make.
I researched it a while back. Admittedly it was more from the United States side of things, but I remember it not exactly being a cake walk for europeans either. 14% sounds like a big number, except that Sweden isn't a large country, so.....Oh dear, so wrong it almost comes full circle.

Pretty much all of my morning radio shows I listen to are conservative-based. Being that talk radio is largely dominated by conservatives, and I am a conservative. But I'm smart enough to not take anything anyone says as the gospel. But when I'm in front of a TV or computer, I consume all media outlets. It does take effort to try to stay as balanced as I can, which is why I get how people tend to just go heavy on one side or the other.
Small groups of each sides are threats. The vast majority of Americans on both sides, while they might be opinionated, aren't threats to America or each other, despite what red meat both sides dangle in front of their constituents. To think otherwise, means you're in too deep. And no, of course I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE INSURECTION. Most Americans on both sides of the isle were horrified. I didn't agree with the gas-lighted nationwide riots before that as well. Most left of center dems didn't either. The temperature is just waaaay to hot in this country right now. unfortunately, its by design.
A litmus test that I've always given my hardcore Republican and liberal friends is; "do you think the country would be better if the other side didn't exist?"
If the answer is "yes". They're into deep and lack perspective.... IMO.
Flame suit on! Gotta go back to work
