In reply to the discussion: Fetterman warns of rise of 'dirtbag left' amid victories by democratic socialists in New York [View all]Deminpenn
(17,629 posts)20. You would be just as frustrated, if not moreso, by Conor Lamb
Lamb is the epitome of centrist Democrat. I believe when he was first elected to the House, his first vote was for someone other than Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.
More recently Lamb has moved slightly more to the left, but that is more for political expedience than any conviction. I guess I should give him credit for being more aware of which way the political winds are blowing than Fetterman is.
Jmo, but I think Fetterman's comments are as much rooted in his unconditional support for Israel which the Mamdani-endorsed primary winners oppose as much as anything.
