    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Sen. John Fetterman has a message for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party: get in line behind President Joe Biden.

    He continues to recover from an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke that happened during the 2022 campaign.

    Both Sanders and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York have also endorsed the incumbent president, despite their occasional criticisms from the left.

    “At the end of the day, like, do you think Donald Trump is going to be talking about issues and, you know, his white papers?”

    Fetterman also recalled a conversation with Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in which he said he would remain “neutral on all of that,” despite his previous suggestion that he would support Gallego, along with the fact that his top political strategist is now working for the Arizona congressman.

    Last week, during a similar briefing with reporters, Fetterman referred to the potential impeachment of President Biden as a “big circlejerk on the fringe right.”


    The original article contains 434 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      The fact that we can’t endorse him without comparing him to the dumpster fire on the opposite side is why we don’t like him. If “better than Trump” is all you’ve got going for you, we might as well vote for a pile of wet socks.

      He promised not to upset the capitalist apple cart, and he hasn’t. He’s not a progressive.

        Strong disagree. I’ve found Biden to far, far exceed my expectations for him. I’ve been very happy with his presidency, above and beyond the fact that he’s not Trump.

        That said, I’m curious which specific policies of his you disagree with. I have several, but I’d like to see yours.
