I take back every bad thing I ever said about John Fetterman. He actually seems like one of the few DFL senators who seems like a reasonable human being.

It may be that massive strokes are beneficial to Democrats!
Maybe. In all seriousness though, Fetterman has become one of the more rational, old school, DFL legislators after a rough start. Of course, the response of the DFL is to kick him out of the party.
Indeed. If he wins reelection (assuming he runs), it will suggest a change in the party, at least in his state. If he loses to one of those with whom he doesn't truly resemble, then it means the party is worsening.
If he wins, I would hope that he does change party officially as he's much closer to the GOP than to the whacko extremes of the DFL. It could also suggest that his constituents have regained some degree of sanity and realize that cooperation and compromise are better than demonization.
I find it interesting that there seems to be an fairly active movement to get rid of him.
But, again, I'm not insanely committed to the extremes of my political philosophy. I fondly remember that old days when our legislators could firmly defend their positions when in session, while also remaining friendly when out of session. Not a value demonstrated much by the DFL right now.
I would submit that's due to the lower quality of Democrats than there were at one time. Two great examples of that phenomena were Reagan and Tip O'Neil, and Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
That may be True.
