And yet:

John Fetterman wants Democrats to stop wasting time and eliminate the filibuster (CNN, September 10, arguing for a $15 minimum wage, voting rights, and safeguarding access to abortion)

John Fetterman, Speaking to Texas Democrats, Calls Voter Fraud a Fiction (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 24, 2021)

There are many other times he has spoken up about voter rights.

This Sasha person was tweeting about a Forbes article where Mr. Fetterman spoke up about legal weed.

It turns out you can advocate for more than one thing at a time.

This is not a message that’ll sell in red districts.

Pa Dem statewide election wins are defined in how red the red districts go in an election. “Legal weed” is not going to flip red voters in rural PA.

If this man wins the nomination it’s a guaranteed republican win.

Freaking South Dakota passed legal weed in a referendum by an overwhelming margin. The only reason it isn’t implemented is because Kristi Noem is using the same strategy that Nebraska’s GOP did when it passed legal weed: Find a sheriff to sue to overturn the referendum, financed with state tax money, arguing the referendum covers more than one subject (possession, purchase, transport, growing all considered separate subjects)
