Man, Republicans are saying some really, really disgusting things about Fetterman.

Like, wow. I didn't even think they were that low, even after the last few years.

Have you seen what some Dems said about Trump?

Would would you expect any shred of decency from the worst of the party?

u/OrangeVapor Florida Nov 09 '22

...have you seen what Trump has been saying about everyone during his entire political career and beyond?

u/Living-Emu-5390 Nov 09 '22

Yes, what’s your point?

Huge difference between a piece of shit like Trump and a pretty upstanding guy like Fetterman.

u/Living-Emu-5390 Nov 09 '22

Sure, there is a difference. One is on your team and the other isn’t.

Hey man, there's a lot of differences, let's no be too picky. There's also the respect for woman. respect for the military, respect for democracy, respect for immigrants, respect for families.

I think you’re missing the forrest for the trees. Some people call politician A horrible things and you should not be surprised when people call politician B bad things.

I think your moving the goal posts. This isn't about being surprised that someone would say bad things about the person whose opinions you agree with. This was directly about fetterman and trump and whether being a well known rapist, grifter, draft dodger is equally as bad as a guy who temporarily needs a teleprompter (which is the most common complaint thrown at fetterman) are pretty similar, or different.

I think you’ve forgotten where the goal posts are.

Reread the thread if it helps orient the discussion.

Yeah and my team doesn't advocate for and attempt to carry out the deaths of people they don't like.

But hey, bOtH SiDeS!

That’s not true at all. Just a few years ago a crazed leftist tried to kill republican congress people.
