I've said it a million times: Fetterman ran as an unapologetic progressive who didn't take crap from anybody, and that succeeded so much more than the usual PA-Dem centrist mush.

Trump barely won and was clearly going to be a disaster quickly, and yet so many Dems embarrassed themselves trying to triangulate with Trump, and they look like either cowards or craven political operators (Schumer, Newsom, Fetterman, etc).

"Runabout Intruder" and "And the Children Shall Lead" would round out my bottom 2.

Yo, Fetterman, I think the government has already been getting shut down for the last month and a half; what are you talking about?

The government is already getting shut down and shuttered by an unelected billionaire and people are already getting hurt while you try to play cute and act like things are normal.

I also don't know how you can be the ranking member on Intelligence and still act like this is all normal.

I appreciate the comparison to Kelvin films. S31 backers have spoken in vague truisms ("need something different, need to appeal beyond base") without dealing with, you know, the movie.
