Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah, the racist Frankenstein's monster has worshippers everywhere. One of the things I didn't like about Reddit was the fawning worship of that ballbag.
He held a black jogger at gunpoint because he fit the description. And no I don't care that the jogger forgave him. Fuck that guy.
Source?
Otherwise you sound like a troll or a lunatic.
The jogger thing is true, but a bit of context and then the follow up stories really make the whole thing not worth even addressing
Shows how much they have to scrape the barrel to get at him.
Not OP, but some context here https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/john-fetterman-black-jogger-2013-shotgun-20220425.html
Thank you, this is interesting.
Looks like he was pursuing him in a truck with his shotgun. That said, it appears disputed whether he pointed the shotgun at him, whether he left his truck, and it appearently was in 2013 which by now is 10y ago.
Still, thanks for the source. Always take the good the bad and the boring with every politician.
For the record, are you a way far left liberal with no common sense, or just another run-of-the-mill conservative troll feigning concern over racism?
The guy seems like he’d even care about your well being, I don’t understand the hate.
By what standards? He hasn't done a single thing during his time in office that I genuinely support. Hardly what I'd call caring about me
Human decency seems a good place to start.
When you care about what happens to all human beings instead of what someone does for you, you’ll understand.
He's a politician. What he does for me is pretty damn important
So as long as you got yours, everyone else can get bent?
Americaaaaa, fuck yeah!
When you accuse some of racism and then proceed to judge them based on how they look it makes you look no better. Maybe be a good way to have conversation is to not make yourself look like an ass.
How is it racist? Wouldn't it be racist if he didn't fit the description? I don't really have context on what happened, but from what you said there's nothing seemingly racist about it.
You should probably look up the story first before jumping in with your "he did nothing wrong" opinion. And your lookism is equal to racism idiocy was just piled on top of that.
As mayor, he heard what he thought was gunshots, and pursued who he thought did it until the police were able to intervene. He was wrong in hindsight, but what long-term harm came of it, other than it being a scary situation?
Yawn... try harder.
