My husband refers to Fetterman as Shorts of Anarchy and if I refer to him as anything else has to be reminded who I'm talking about.

business school changes people and universities for the worse. someone going for an mba fancies themselves as your superior. it’s a poor show of class solidarity and sound judgment. all business schools should be closed immediately IMO.

As someone who was at his Pittsburgh DSA endorsement hearing for Lt Governor in 2017 you will find the opposite to be the case (the hearing was recorded, but it's one of those OPSEC things that I would have to work on editing it to protect comrades identities) Anyway it was pretty much a shitshow because Fetterman for all his good social media presence is a very style over substance politician.

The big things are that as Mayor of Braddock he tried to gentrify it and profit from it by using his wife's non-profit as a way to attract businesses to set up shop in buildings the non-profit owned with promises that these businesses would offer training to like teens living in Braddock.

Said he was opposed to fracking, but did nothing as US Steel tried putting a fracking pad on the site of the Edgar Thompson Steel Building which was like 2 miles away from Braddock (thankfully the company they hired was so incompetent that in 2020 the plans finally fell through)

At our endorsement meeting he called abortion rights an “in the weeds” issue (When asked why he support/doesn't disavow anti-choice candidates)

In his campaign for lt. gov he used a petition to shutdown berks as a petition/listbuilding tactic, and now he is lt. gov and has neither gotten wolf to do this nor stirred poo poo about it.

There's this:
https://archive.triblive.com/news/braddock-mayor-says-hes-justified-in-pulling-shotgun-after-hearing-noise-like-gunshots/

He wrote an op-ed in the Post Gazette against trying to tax UPMC (the hellish "non-profit" Healthcare that owns 14% of Alleghany County) when they were closing Braddock Hospital. Supported Bernie in 2016 to help build his clout but wouldn't endorse him in 2020. Endorsed Paul Costa over Summer Lee (who we endorsed at that endorsement meeting).

Also he came from a well off family and basically built this working class look to build a persona that would get him elected and media; obviously it worked.

Finally, when we didn't endorse him (he tanked really bad at the hearing and did poo poo like when the other person asking for Lt Gov spoke to us he decided to stand directly behind her the entire time and this woman was like 5 5) shortly afterwards our free food pantry door was smashed and we were told we couldn't host it at this free store in Braddock we had it at; well that free store was owned by Fetterman's wife's Non-profit. Then we found that nowhere in Braddock would host it :thunk: (It's now near our HQ where the only vandalism that happened to it was from dipshit Maoists)

Anyway this is a really long post saying if you think Fetterman is the PA Bernie there are plenty of comrades in Pittsburgh that will point out a lot of bad flags with him. His only real selling point is he is better than Toomey (which isn't hard) and he wants legal weed. I think he's a jagoff, but he will probably win because people don't give a poo poo because he's good with social media in saying the right things that appeal to progressives and a lot of the bad stuff is fairly local to Pittsburgh.

I can't speak specifically for the Braddock borough poo poo because I don't live there and I don't hear about it and I have my own issues with the Pittsburgh DSA I'm not going to air here

but he can't do poo poo about land US Steel has owned for two centuries, and while he's from a well off family that doesn't mean a loving thing, what matters is what he does with that money.

Summer Lee hasn't spoken out against him afaik and she would have good reason to do so if he was treating Braddock like his personal playground.

Basically show me working class Pittsburghers bitching about Fetterman, I don't give a gently caress what the DSA has to say about him since most of them suffer from the same affluenza they accuse him of.

I dunno about the other stuff, but abortion rights is a pretty bedrock feminist/socialist issue and a candidate being willing to support pro life candidates is really hosed up and hard to rally around
