doesn�t really answer the question though

our pennsylvannia comrades regard him highly

donoteat made high praises of the man in his podcast, which is pretty much the 2020s version of receiving the endorsement of the International

As someone who was at his Pittsburgh DSA endorsement hearing for Lt Governor in 2017 you will find the opposite to be the case (the hearing was recorded, but it's one of those OPSEC things that I would have to work on editing it to protect comrades identities) Anyway it was pretty much a shitshow because Fetterman for all his good social media presence is a very style over substance politician.

The big things are that as Mayor of Braddock he tried to gentrify it and profit from it by using his wife's non-profit as a way to attract businesses to set up shop in buildings the non-profit owned with promises that these businesses would offer training to like teens living in Braddock.

Said he was opposed to fracking, but did nothing as US Steel tried putting a fracking pad on the site of the Edgar Thompson Steel Building which was like 2 miles away from Braddock (thankfully the company they hired was so incompetent that in 2020 the plans finally fell through)

At our endorsement meeting he called abortion rights an �in the weeds� issue (When asked why he support/doesn't disavow anti-choice candidates)

In his campaign for lt. gov he used a petition to shutdown berks as a petition/listbuilding tactic, and now he is lt. gov and has neither gotten wolf to do this nor stirred poo poo about it.

There's this:
https://archive.triblive.com/news/braddock-mayor-says-hes-justified-in-pulling-shotgun-after-hearing-noise-like-gunshots/

He wrote an op-ed in the Post Gazette against trying to tax UPMC (the hellish "non-profit" Healthcare that owns 14% of Alleghany County) when they were closing Braddock Hospital. Supported Bernie in 2016 to help build his clout but wouldn't endorse him in 2020. Endorsed Paul Costa over Summer Lee (who we endorsed at that endorsement meeting).

Also he came from a well off family and basically built this working class look to build a persona that would get him elected and media; obviously it worked.

Finally, when we didn't endorse him (he tanked really bad at the hearing and did poo poo like when the other person asking for Lt Gov spoke to us he decided to stand directly behind her the entire time and this woman was like 5 5) shortly afterwards our free food pantry door was smashed and we were told we couldn't host it at this free store in Braddock we had it at; well that free store was owned by Fetterman's wife's Non-profit. Then we found that nowhere in Braddock would host it (It's now near our HQ where the only vandalism that happened to it was from dipshit Maoists)

Anyway this is a really long post saying if you think Fetterman is the PA Bernie there are plenty of comrades in Pittsburgh that will point out a lot of bad flags with him. His only real selling point is he is better than Toomey (which isn't hard) and he wants legal weed. I think he's a jagoff, but he will probably win because people don't give a poo poo because he's good with social media in saying the right things that appeal to progressives and a lot of the bad stuff is fairly local to Pittsburgh.

good poo poo, thank you for Good Posting

(I am a foreigner so I have almost zero real productive awareness of the matter btw)
