Pepe Silvia Browne posted:no actually what I'M doing is saying that at least one person, one american, who is both pro-choice and would rather vote for Dr. Oz because Fetterman slurs his words a little. because we are an insane country and 1/3 of the people who vote decide who they're gonna vote for within 12 hours of the election It's not crazy to not want to vote for him because he might have serious cognitive issues. Framing it as "not voting for him because he slurs his words" is what the vote blue losers say about Biden and Pelosi.

"You need to vote for someone who is ideologically opposed to everything you stand for because the other guy slurs his words a little but will be replaced with someone you also agree with if he can't hack it" is all over social media today, makes u think.

Voters are not rational beings, especially wealthy, "intellectual" centrists. People like this often do not vote on ideological grounds. Gut instincts, emotion, and odd four-dimensional chess "strategic" thoughts color how they think about politics, because they're financially comfortable and they have no critical thinking, as well as a dearth of morality. I don't know if this is going to substantively affect Fetterman, but to say that not a single weirdo is going to change their mind on this is absurd, especially considering the last ten years of empirical and anecdotal data in American politics.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:If Fetterman can’t serve, the governor (likely Shapiro) replaces him with someone who can and will vote the same way. This idea that people need to vote for the guy who’s going to be the 51st vote for a national abortion ban because this guy has cognitive problems is dumb as gently caress and it’s sad that this is the best angle Oz has. What's the current whipcount on Graham's bill? I thought it was a lot less than 50

They're not undecided, they are just telling themselves are. They are insane, "centrist" libs (and occasionally never-Trump chuds), who are almost always going to land on the most right wing option, while they console themselves as not being all that bad because they voted for Obama in 2008.

re: Chris Matthews anyway we have senators that are basically remote controlled animatronic dummies being puppeted by a lobbyist holding a dual shock so i don't think the Ogre's brain problems disqualify him.

The fact that Fetterman has made any recovery after his strokes is a sign that he doesn't quite fit in with Democrat party culture

compare that to trump's more successful strategy of just not recording strokes on his scorecard. if they're not pencilled in, they don't count
