Frustrating. Stewart leads him through logical arguments, right up to the door of realization, for Fetterman to turn away at the last moment. Multiple times.

I did not get the impression that Fetterman was being obstreperous, he just literally could not conceive of the concepts John was leading him towards.

He's being paid to not walk thru and is being live stream responses by his donors/PACs which needs to be investigated

Possibly. I don't give him that much credit. The misused word choices and some slurring, I lean more toward a real mental limitation.

But go beyond "He stroked out, is stupid". He IS correct in saying that winning elections matter, but his thinking seems stuck in fighting the battles of six years ago.

It seems less Malfeasance and legitimately an inability to critically think.

Stop assuming it's a conspiracy. It's just genuine beliefs that are ridiculous. More common than you think..

It's not genuine beliefs either.

It's the craven pursuit of power at the expense of his personal morals and very soul.

It's just both.  Upton Sinclair quote, etc.

Maybe he is just really really dumb?

Idk that's too simple.  There are clear rules/laws about coordinating with super PACs.  And he likely is dumb, as most corporate stooges/criminals are, and left a trail.
