No. You see, I did not say that and don't believe it.A simple personal attack was made on me by saying 'even Fetterman would have gotten the point by now', or words to that effect. I pointed out that the people Fetterman chooses to have near him--his team--probably do not ideologically oppose every single utterance he makes, no matter how banal the point.Rhea, I do not normally number you in the people who refuse to get the point.
Fetterman is not surrounded by Republicans. They are not part of his circle. His family is not Republicans, his friends are not Republicans, the people who worked on his campaign are not Republicans, his personal physician donated to his campaign.
I get your point. I’m refuting it.
You think Fetterman interacts only with his “team.”
No. I did not say it and don't believe it.You think he lives in a bubble and never has to face Republican questioning.
I can tell you that when I utter banal statements in real life, around people who do not necessarily agree with me but are not instantly prejudiced against any statement I make--like that listening to and understanding speech is an important ability for a Senator--I am not told to go fuck myself.And that means that he does not face as difficult an interrogation as you do here in this thread.
Well, yes, you interpreted it correctly. Which makes me wonder why you chose not to do so earlier.Is Fetterman surrounded by a team of people of opposing ideological persuasion and who are determined not to get the point?
I see that now you are considering us “your team” as contrasted to Fetterman’s “team” and how your team is against you while Fetterman’s is for him.
If Fetterman chose to go on a message board populated mainly by his ideological opponents, I am quite sure he would get roughly equivalent treatment to what I get--and that his dissent from whatever the prevailing ideology is would be regarded as him 'not getting the point'.So if you’re counting us as “your team” for the purpose of tring to refute my joke, then you need to count all the people who argue with Fetterman as being “his team” also.
I choose to come on to this board, knowing I am both vastly outnumbered and that people will make prejudicial leaps and inferences no matter what I say.Fetterman is not surrounded by Republicans. They are not part of his circle. His family is not Republicans, his friends are not Republicans, the people who worked on his campaign are not Republicans, his personal physician donated to his campaign.
I admit that I am charmed by being part of your circle. That your family is here, that I’m one of your friends, the equivalent of working on your campaign, indeed, to be numbered alongside your personal physician! It warms the cockles of my heart.
This thread is a case in point, but I don't always anticipate it. I could not have anticipated that blastula could utter something so monumentally daft, be corrected on it, and then a platoon of countrymen coming to the defence of his daft statement.
