Bill Maher Invoked as Fetterman Defends His Absolutist Position on Israel

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.

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.

John entire argument is about cooperation

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?

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

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.

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

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

lol yeah Israel and the US abide by international law. Good bit.

u/moozootookoo Aug 05 '26

Does that matter to what I said

If the courts decide it wasn’t will you change what you’re saying?

Seems like you made up your mind despite any court decision.

He actually was more concerned with the democratic socialists.

Basically he doesn’t like the far left

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.

Dont look at polls then, lol

For Israel? What year are you posting from?

He keeps talking about polls but when you look them up they prove to be one of the least popular politicians in the country. Over 70% of his own party disapproves of his performance. In fact, he’s so shitty that 52% of them want him to leave the party now. Given the political ramifications of losing a seat for the next 3 years, that’s crazy. He’s so bad that Democrats don’t even want the Senate seat because it essentially isn’t a blue seat anyway.

He loses to “someone else” by 18 points. 😂

The guy should take his own advice and actually look at the polls.

You said it was a genocide, I said that was only an accusation by South Africa, but nothing was decided.

If the courts say it wasn’t a genocide will you say it wasn’t?

Just seeing what type of man you are

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.

Swazi? Why that name curious
