The GOP’s once sure-fire odds to retain their Senate majority in the midterms are looking bleaker every day, but according to a new report from Politico, some in the party are plotting a “coup” that could save them from a complete wipeout: flipping John Fetterman, the increasingly ostracized Democratic senator. Fetterman was first elected to the Senate from Pennsylvania in 2022, besting the Trump-backed Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and helping Democrats defy the odds and grow their majority in the chamber. Initially styling himself as a working-class progressive champion, he has since made a major shift away from his own party, voicing support for various initiatives and nominees from President Donald Trump and breaking the Democratic minority on several key votes.
So when does it get better? I watched my parents and grandparents vote blue no matter who until they died. I’ve done the same my entire adult life and we continue to sink deeper into fascism. The democrats are where the republicans were 26 years ago. We literally can’t ratchet any further right without a full blown genocide. Even the civil rights leaders who were murdered by our government saw through the charade. We are paying for a genocide in a colony that has universal healthcare and free college and both parties support it. When does it get better what’s the plan here? Both parties are fascist war mongering pedophiles! When does it get better? What’s the plan? because I don’t believe we will see the extreme damage this administration has done reversed without a revolution
Try to get involved with the party locally and make your case to your IRL peers there. Real change has to come from the bottom.
