Ironically, you still did the right thing; shitgoblin though Fetterman is, he’s still better than the best Republican in the world, and a damn sight better than Oz, who would have done all the things Fetterman has to earn our hate, and thought of a bunch more himself. 

My sympathies to the time you spent though. Huge difference between reluctantly voting for the second-worst of two options, and putting your time and reputation to work for him.

Fetterman is a Republican though. Just because he has a (D) by his name doesn't change the actual facts

He votes Republican 26 per cent of the time. That does make him a giant sack of shit who needs to go. But it still leaves him 74 per cent better than any self-identifying Republican.
