The first-term Pennsylvanian has battled with progressives on Israel, immigration and energy, adopting a more caustic political persona and alienating some supporters.
They assume all critiques of the DNC is fascist, Russian, Republican talking points. Instead of holding their party accountable they punch out at everyone trying to do the job they should be doing.
Hasn’t Fetterman been getting tons of criticism for being exactly that, being to the right of most leftists/liberals? Do you think that’s overblown and he’s still mostly on the side of the left?
I hope you can tell how clueless many of us feel having read your initial comments. You’re not doing a great job of communicating what you think and why. Granted, you don’t have to, and it’s a bit annoying how much patience is required, but if you don’t others will likely not care to ask you to explain. Anyway, just a thought as I’ve been realizing I need to get better at communicating - I’m probably overdoing it now ;)
But leftists and liberals are not the same. Liberals are already rightism-apologists (also see: “enlightened centrist”), and Fetterman has proven to be solidly to the right of even your garden variety liberals. Dude is Manchin sans the overt corruption.

Referring to “the left” could only come from someone right-of-them.

Yes.

You keep using that word… but it’s abundantly clear that you have no idea what it means.
You should probably start here:
