Fetterman impresses me more than Lamb. Emile May 2022 #7

There's nothing inherently wrong with Conor Lamb peggysue2 May 2022 #14

Thus, the "ideal candidate" doesn't have real juice or excite the electorate? aocommunalpunch May 2022 #16

On paper, I think Conor Lamb is the ideal candidate peggysue2 May 2022 #30

The problem for Lamb is all the candidates like him that came before and were kind of forced Demsrule86 May 2022 #52

Fetterman will instantaneously become the most progressive voice in the Senate. StrictlyRockers May 2022 #12

More than Sanders? More than Warren and Markey? I doubt that. Celerity May 2022 #18

Ok "one of" StrictlyRockers May 2022 #21

Well, the one main thing (and I am a strong Fetterman supporter, just search DU to see this) Celerity May 2022 #22

And we are in total agreement. StrictlyRockers May 2022 #23

I do not look at it as an argument over 'nothing'. I simply disagreed with the statement Celerity May 2022 #27

Well I agree - Sanders and probably Warren and Markey more liberal mvd May 2022 #70

Yes, I think Fetterman will make a great Senator, with far less concern that he will go all Manchin Celerity May 2022 #71

He can't be against fracking now...but he wants to move away with it with renewable energy Demsrule86 May 2022 #41

I think supporting unions is progressive. blue neen May 2022 #26

I don't see marijuana legalization as a significantly "progressive" issue. brooklynite May 2022 #31

Really? How many Senate Republicans are supporting legalizing pot? blue neen May 2022 #35

At this point, I have every expectation that Fetterman will win the Primary... brooklynite May 2022 #38

That we can agree on that...PA is a big opportunity...you just don't like Fetterman which is fine. Demsrule86 May 2022 #55

I see pot as a progressive issue...it is legal in Ohio and has helped my husband with pain Demsrule86 May 2022 #54
