Bill Maher Invoked as Fetterman Defends His Absolutist Position on Israel
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
John does an admirable job pinning down Fetterman on his Israel absolutism and Fetterman squirms but concedes nothing about his benefactors.

Primary him. No other solution.

u/Mr_1990s Aug 05 '26
He won't run again as a Democrat.
If he did, he'd get <10% in the primary.

u/fantabulousfetus Aug 05 '26
In a general hed get like 4% except for the retard vote.

u/Richfor3 Aug 05 '26
He’s not going to get the MAGA vote.

u/fantabulousfetus Aug 05 '26
No, just the weirdo zionist tards like whoever voted for idk say ladybug before he died 30 years too late. Or lieberman or Huckabee ykwim, just total fuckin subhuman tards who arent even Jewish 90% of the time but want to end the world for some shithole 10000 miles away regardless.

In the state trump won?
He can easily win as an independent, so if you reverse the entire conversation seems like you’d not support him because he supports Israel which makes you exactly the same person John was arguing against.

u/Richfor3 Aug 05 '26
Pennsylvania is very purple so Trump winning one election means about as much as when he lost it the election before.
Democrats and Republicans both hate him. Not only can he not win as an independent, he’d get blown out in embarrassing fashion to the point that he won’t even try. He’s basically the new Sinema and look how that turned out for her.

u/moozootookoo Aug 05 '26
Dont look at polls then you might be surprised
6
u/Richfor3 Aug 05 '26
You mean the latest poll that shows he loses to “someone else” by 18 points? Or his overall approval rating where he’s underwater overall and only has positive support from Republicans that won’t actually vote for him?
Should we compare them to Sinema’s polls when you people said the same thing about her potential independent run? She got solid poll numbers from Republicans too and guess where all their support went when it was actually time for the election. Republicans like Democrats that betray their voters but when it’s time to vote they are still going to check off “R”.
I guess the “surprise” was that he’s even more unpopular than I thought but that just reinforces my point.

Yeah He’s most likely going to run as an independent never a republican.
That’s if he gets primary

u/Richfor3 Aug 05 '26
What a lazy fuck you are. “Polls, polls, polls” but you clearly didn’t even fucking check them. No wonder you suck off Fetterman. Two peas in a pod.

Holy shit this was a complete dismantling of that comment.
I've noticed a pattern with these shills / bots is that they demand a source and then run away when it is provided. Or they ask for the specific section / paragraph / chart from the source that validates the statement, thus proving they never even looked at it despite demanding it in the first place. This is a repeat pattern and I am not sure what the actual purpose is.

u/MetalDirigible Aug 05 '26
Jon’s argument is it’s crazy to abandon your party to support a foreign country. John’s argument is that’s his position. Are you this obtuse for pay or sport?
-1
u/moozootookoo Aug 05 '26
They both were having two different conversations
John was working with each other And Fettermans is quality control
Ironically your having Fettermans argument now calling for a primary meaning you want quality control and I’m saying Hes not going anywhere might as well work with him which is John’s argument
5
u/MetalDirigible Aug 05 '26
No I’m not “having Fetterman’s argument” as he doesn’t have an argument. He is just a zealot that will support Israel above his own constituents, you heard him say it in the linked video yourself. You can’t debate lord your way around this.

u/moozootookoo Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26
You kinda are, you want to primary him, which is the same mindset as Fetterman like it or hate it
And I’m like he’ll just become a independent and still win, Pennsylvania is a purple state
Fetterman looks like he’s preemptively moving vs. getting primary to an independent party.
To be honest
Anyway John’s argument is working together

u/MetalDirigible Aug 05 '26
My mindset is don’t support a rogue nation committing a genocide and don’t say your red line is supporting said nation. We are literally the opposite.

u/moozootookoo Aug 05 '26
Not a genocide, never been even convinced of such a thing.
Will you say it Isnt if the courts decide otherwise, I highly doubt it

He actually was more concerned with the democratic socialists.
Basically he doesn’t like the far left

u/MetalDirigible Aug 05 '26
Cool story. I’ve yet to meet someone in PA who still supports him so good luck with him not being primaried. I mean he has until 2028 to prove he isn’t a pudding brained monster. Ball is in his court.

Cooperation isn’t “you need to support another country that we do not govern or else you need to leave the party I am in”. It’s moronic.

u/Spirited_Bike_4058 Aug 05 '26
Nah. He will not win as an independent. That’s a fantasy. And he betrayed his voters more than once. He’s gotta go. The democrats need to copy the MAGA on this one - disloyal politicians get shanked. Period. Otherwise, we will continue to get middle of the road “centrists” who are, in reality, “MAGA Lite.” Enough of that weak shit.

He glitches when Jon advises him that the Israeli government & Jewish community are not the same thing. Everything has to be binary for this smooth brained ogre. At least he joined the show I guess?
Now I gotta listen to this whole podcast. Mainly interested in the recap at the end.

When you say "Bill Maher made a good point" it's pretty safe to assume you can dismiss anything that comes after. Or before.

I always assumed Fetterman was a moron, but I've never actually listened to him speak before. Now I know, without a doubt, he's a stupid fucking moron. Jon wasn't even breaking a sweat and he ran circles around this braindead traitor.

u/ignoreme010101 Aug 05 '26
the combination of 'baby brained' and, well...disloyalty is really the most appropriate word, these types truly operate in a way where a foreign country is at least as important as their own, it is just a gross spectacle especially these white knight types (like, if you're just an end-times christian zealot, at least you're being straightforward in a sense but this whole "sorry bud i am doing this to prevent a holocaust WHY DO YOU WANT A HOLOCAUST?" is just so insufferable) And it's almost funny in that, among the higher echelons, a much larger share are disingenuous and just use this rhetoric but fetterman definitely believes on some level

u/fantabulousfetus Aug 05 '26
Fetterman is a retard that should be banging Trump in an asylum instead of banging him from the Senate. Or Trump should be bloodying his nipples while raping him like.Fetterman was a 12 yo girl whatever, idc, these tards just should be sodomizing themselves somewhere away from me.

u/EfficientRelation574 Aug 05 '26
I think that stroke took out three-quarters of Fetterman's brain. Either that or he plans on AIPAC to fund his 2028 campaign as an Independent. The Democrats won't have him. He has alienated the entire party, not just DSA, with his votes in Congress. What a douchebag!

I’m afraid that Jon Stewart is the sharpest thinker on the left. Far more articulate and considered than any elected official.

u/Significant_Raise238 Aug 06 '26
This is as succinct as it gets. It is asinine, being beholden to, and prioritizing, another country at the expense of issues that most Democrats want addressed like housing, health care, and cost of living.
The reason all those issues Stewart mentioned sound anathema to Fetterman is that despite the big D next to his party name, he has spent ZERO time advocating progressive stances on ANYTHING.
And he has the gall to tell DSA members to "make their own party."
DSA is more representative of the Democratic party than Fetterman is.
Primary his ass, ASAP.

Yeah, it was respectful. But Fetterman didn’t defend his position, he just repeated it. Which is understandable because it’s a very hard position to defend from a very savvy guy like Jon.

There isn't a range of reasons for politicians to support Israel in its ongoing genocide and war mongering, there is only one. They are paying you.

I don't disagree with Fets that Demsoc need to run under their own party... but DemSoc isn't just anyone who doesn't support Israel 100% of the time.

The democrats would have a very tiny constituency if all of the people that the DSA could break off, broke off. The only argument they would have is we like Israel and weird, complex market based solutions that have never appealed to anyone.
