John Fetterman's twitter comments earlier are on point and a product of personal experience
His tweet has already appeared on the board, so I won't repeat it. Or give X a click.
Big John's debate with Oz was disastrous in terms of 'debate optics' while Oz scorched himself with his abortion answer.
As for Trump last night? He was his normal lying, bombastic self, conman extraordinaire. He never answered the questions, merely lied his face off.
In Fetterman's case, the polls had him losing and the frenzied criticisms were similar to those against President Biden right now: Is he fit and/or competent enough for the job? For Joe Biden it's all about his age, affect and verbal stumbles. For John Fetterman, of course, it was all about his stroke on the campaign trail, a stroke that could have taken his life and did, indeed, leave him with profound auditory and speech deficits. Despite his doctors' assurances, no one knew for sure if those disabilities would, in fact, improve.
And yet . . .
Fetterman and his team kept going and won. Because he was a far better choice than Dr. Oz and the stakes for a Senate majority were too damn high.
No one stopped working their hearts out for Big John even with the bad debate performance and/or the medical unknowables. Some insisted that he drop out tout suite and be replaced.
Sound familiar?
President Biden had a bad debate night. Agent Orange had a disastrous 4-year Administration with far worse to come if he and his lackeys were ever given the keys to the White House again. He proved what a train wreck and asshole he is last night with every lie, distortion and smarmy comment.
Think Project 2025, then shudder at the prospect of our government torn apart by madmen, the rule of law extinguished and our democratic institutions shattered beyond repair. Think Roberts Court, then recall the damage done, the total wreckage ahead if MAGA wins, if a convicted, vengeful felon is given power.
Make no mistake: the Barbarians are at the gate.
For me, the choice is clear, always has been. The current challenge to convince the undecideds and fence straddlers may be more difficult in the moment. But the task is not insurmountable.
The contrast between Dems and the MAGA movement is stark as is the comparison between President Biden and Agent Orange. We all need to stress this to our friends, family and community at large. Because . . .
The stakes are too damn high.
I'm reminded of something Hillary Clinton said about falling down:
It's not about the fall, she said, because we all fall down. It's about what we do afterwards. It's all about getting back up.
I'd add this, too: President Biden has spent 4 years working tirelessly for the American public, to repair the damage that Trump and his MAGA crew wrought with utter glee and stupidity. Now it's our turn to work, not simply for Joe Biden, but for our kids and grand babies, everyone we care about.
We're fighting for the future. Which requires ignoring the noise (our own included) and getting the hell back up.

If people think they're panicked now? Imagine Trump winning and bringing his black tide to Washington.
Anyone who wants to save our democracy better slap themselves into full coherence and determination, fast.
Woe is Me is a self-indulgent soul-killer.
Time to get up off the mat and fight like hell!
Btw, I'm talking to the nay-sayers, not you Cha. 
I've been stewing all day.
