i think the charitable reading is that NJR doesn't think that fetterman's racist schlub routine is scalable and or motivating/leading a progressive movement, and he's certainly being proven right on that.

    I definitely agree that his visual presentation would be a liability in most other states. But looking put together is not incompatible with the dirtbag shitposting strategy his campaign pulled off well.

    It's also worth noting that Fetterman won against a quack TV doctor totally lacking in both charisma and signature policies. If we're thinking how reproducable his strategy is, the opponent matters.

    On top of all that it was also the most obvious case of a rich asshole "moving" somewhere just to get elected since Hillary in New York state.

    Maybe Romneys an exception but, ya know, Mormons.
