23. Sorry, but despite AOC's "apology", there is zero evidence that Lamb would have been better.

I have no idea why people justifiably disappointed in Fetterman think Lamb definitely would have been any better given his voting record in Congress was terrible (I mean voting with Trump 70% of the time?!?!?!?!?!?!?). The things he mentions in his response to AOC as being on the same side, are all things that Fetterman has supported 100% as Senator. Regardless, Lamb never had a chance to win that Primary. 75% of his votes came from the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia metropolitan areas despite those areaas making up only 50% of the population. Lamb had no appeal in the majority of the state outside those 2 largest metro reaas.

And no, I'm not a Fetterman fan at this point. I look forward to voting against his primary opponent if he runs again (I don't believe he will). But the idea that Lamb would be this Lamb progressive champion is just ridiculous.
