    Fetterman castigated his “fellow” Democrats for daring to mention Trump’s felony convictions because, according to him, Democrats “are supposed to be the party of forgiveness”. Bad enough that he thinks throwing away a tactical advantage is a good idea, but who the fuck ever said Democrats are the party of forgiveness?

      Honestly though, a real democracy needs the ability for the electorate to rescind their approval and immediately force a special election. Politicians aren’t nearly scared enough of losing their jobs.

      If I fuck up at my job, I get fired immediately. It should be the same for politicians.
