He's the next Joe Manchin. Mainchin wielded outsized influence being at the extreme edge of the party with an electorate willing to keep him there. Wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman finds that appealing.

It's worse than that. Fetterman's stroke has caused him to be fully unhinged and irrational. Manchin had motive and purpose: money and power. Fetterman is quite literally delusional from his brain injury.

Fetterman stroke didn't do shit. Stop spreading that. He was alsways an asshole, he was never progressive, and he was always a politician first and formost.
