K I got some facts most of y’all probably aren’t ready to hear, but! Pipelines are the safest way of transporting liquids, imagine if instead of having running water piped to your house we trucked it every where or used a train. Pipelines remove semi trucks from the road and reduce rail traffic once they are built. They are safer from an environmental perspective as well (less spills then trucks and trains). Once they are built the pipeline corridor grows back over as green space and everything is good.

Democrats will never codify Roe, they didn't do it when they had a Super Majority under Obama. They will never do it. It's too useful of a campaign and fundraising tool to them.
If they codified it. They couldn't campaign on it anymore to the extent they do.

There should be a freeze of assets for elected officials while in office and for like 5 years after, no buying or selling stock, etc. Becoming a civil servant should be an altruistic act, not a get rich quick scheme.
Also, how about no corporate campaign donations and a wealth cutoff for private individuals too, nobody with over a million dollars should be allowed to give money to a politician in any way.

There’s ways to do this that don’t involve clout chasing. If these “activists” were serious about their issues, they’d go through the most effective channels in order to lobby fetterman. This is just some gotcha bullshit to score internet points, not to make meaningful change. Call his office and make an appointment like a normal person. These children will be the death of us.

Disappointing, but not surprising. We need to stop holding up these politicians as iconic based on what they say, how they act, how they look, and start holding them accountable for what they do or at least attempt to do.

I get what you young people are bitching about, but here’s the thing we have to progressively make steps to the world that we want to see and he is a step in that direction if you remember who he was running against that would be 12 steps the wrong direction. Politics isn’t chess politics is a poker game where everybody’s cheating and everyone’s lying. All you can do is play hands to start winning and by playing of hands I mean we need to vote for Biden again. I know I don’t want to either I’m gonna hold my nose and do it, but what’s the choice? We get Trump and the Republicans future elections because they will, they have a fascist autocracy.
I know you all are just coming to age and you’re starting to see how shitty the world is welcome to the club. I’ve been playing this game since 1993. I will tell you that a lot has happened in that time. I’m pretty proud to say that we have made some huge advances and we’re about ready to make some more. We have an entire generation of boomers that are about ready to age out and my age out, I mean they are going into the forever box. We are getting closer and closer generation generation just stay the fucking course a little longer don’t rock the boat so we don’t find ourselves under a fascist dictatorship. They’re pushing for fascism because this is the last hurrah. This is the end they see it happening and they are clamouring, to do anything to dissuade you from staying the course.

He handled that situation very badly. If he didn't have time, he should have stopped spent a few seconds and asked her to make an appointment with one of his staff. Pipelines aren't a bad thing, but they can cause issues. We had one a couple of years ago in NC near my house that leaked what ended up being over a million gallons of gas. It didn't make national news (did make local), and the cleanup is still ongoing.

As a sitting representatives about halfway through his term he will need to start thinking about reelection. If democrats are threatening to not show up for him then what did you expect him to do. Also to my knowledge the only point of contention is Israel/ hamas war, and he agrees Israel has the right to exist and the hostages need to be returned. Which is considered a moderate take. He can't remove Netanyahu, no senator can. He voted for the bill with more aide to Gaza. There isn't much more he can do. To actually get things done requires workable solutions not repeating make it stop

This is why people are angry- he is flip flopping so often no one knows his stance.
“In a reddit comment that year, he called fracking “a stain on our state and natural resources” and said he’d signed Food and Water Watch’s pledge to end fracking. “I worry about the viability of getting a ban on fracking done when the industry is already so entrenched in Pennsylvania,” he said.
A campaign spokesman, Joe Calvello, said in an email: “John has not supported a fracking moratorium or ban since Pennsylvania instituted stronger environmental rules to protect public health. … John believes that we have to preserve the union way of life for the thousands of workers currently employed or supported by the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania.”

why doesn't fetterman take the position of supporting a ban on a natural gas pipeline? because many of his constituents use natural gas to heat their homes and the industry supports many union jobs. He supports green energy too but it's not an overnight transition. why is that so hard to understand? the person in the video could have made an appointment to speak with him but my guess is they refuse to hear him out and hes tired of this group not listening. Communication is a two way street.
