JDHillFan Posted February 6 Posted February 6 This could have gone in the dem self reflection thread but hoping some of those that need to read this will click on it. John Fetterman explains why Democrat party brand is toxic, and is not sure the Democrats can 'win white men back': Tara Palmeri: "Why is the Democratic Party viewed as toxic by so many? Even people inside the party acknowledge that." John Fetterman: "I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, hey, I know better than you, or you're dopes, or you're a bro or you're ignorant, how can you be this dumb? They're they're fascists. How can you vote for that? And, you know, when you're in a state like Pennsylvania, like, I know, and I love people that voted for Trump, and they're not fascist. If you go to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of a proposition, then you're going to lose the you're going to lose the argument." Palmeri: "How do Democrats win back white men like yourself?" Fetterman: "I don't know, and truthfully, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest. Men are to blame or their, their masculinity is toxic. Or if you unless you're able to conform to our very strict kinds of definition of what we think is appropriate. Well, then I'm just I'm going to find an alternative. And they, they've done that." The party that calls Americans stupid cannot figure out why the American public will not vote for them. 2 2 1

Two more staffers quit John Fetterman's office as the senator carves his own lane with Trump NBC News ^ | February 19, 2025 | Allan Smith Two of Sen. John Fetterman’s longest-serving staff members are leaving his team as the senator takes a more open approach to President Donald Trump than many of his Democratic colleagues are. Charlie Hills, Fetterman’s communications director, and Tré Easton, his legislative director, are set to soon depart the Pennsylvania Democrat’s office. Both men worked on Fetterman’s 2022 campaign and have been with him during his two-year Senate career. “Working for John afforded me the opportunity to build a diligent policy team from scratch,” Easton said in a statement to NBC News. “Together we created a legislative body of work that I think is a blueprint for how Democrats should be governing when they have power. I’ll forever be grateful.” The departures come one month after Carrie Adams left as Fetterman's communications director. She had garnered attention when she was quoted in a Free Press article disagreeing with the senator on Israel and the war in Gaza. That followed Fetterman losing three of his top communications staffers last March, before his chief-of-staff, Adam Jentleson, stepped down.
