Media - please quit saying Fetterman is not a typical Democrat!!

[halfulglas]

I'm sick of this. They all keep saying Fetterman isn't a typical Democrat. Many who don't specifically identify as Progressive, are still Democrat and like him. I like him. Democrats are more like their typical constituents than Republicans are.

On the other hand, who in the media consistently calls out those Harvard, Yale and Rhode scholar Repubs who play the good ole boy, down home corn pone who can't speak correct English to the Trump base and let their voters eat it up? It may be smart politics but in this case they don't do both siderism.

Rant over.

1. Fetterman has a Harvard education.

He is a great Democrat...progressive but also loyal which matters.

2. He's not the media's idea of a typical Democrat. They are of one mind

6. No they are not . Mr Fetterman has shifted his affiliation several times.

Now he states he's a Populist & none of those he aligned with before.

Ask Mr Fetterman.

3. Adding to this I have absolutely nothing against a great education.

I'm glad Fetterman has a Harvard education but he stayed true to his roots. He also has a wonderful wife.

4. They do the same thing

To Manchin.

5. Well, Mr Fetterman is a hard one to figure as to Party affiliation.

He's been a Progressive, a DSA, a Justice Democrat yet recently disavowed it all & said he is a Populist, yet his funding, polling, & email lists still come via the Justice Democrat's PAC & Organization.

Not sure what he really id's as nor how that would affect his voting alliance in the Senate, so perhaps that's where this confusion comes from.
It comes from Mr Fetterman himself.
