Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have been warming up to and embracing socialism while dismissing capitalism, describing them as “morons.”
When asked about a Gallup poll that found that 42 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of capitalism, while 66 percent of Democrats “view socialism favorably,” Fetterman shared how when he was in Croatia, he told people that “some people” in the Democrat Party “are talking about socialism,” and asked people about their thoughts.
Fetterman continued to explain how one guy expressed that socialism is “the worst thing ever” and warned that people would “never want to live” in a country with socialism.
“Senator, there’s a Gallup poll that was released that 42 percent of Democratic voters view capitalism favorably, while 66 percent of Democratic voters view socialism favorably. Do you think that’s a messaging issue for Democrats?” a reporter asked.

But I will still vote with you. End of story.
He sometimes talks a good game but I don’t follow his voting record. Hes not wrong that they are morons, I’d add America haters.
Since he follows along with them, that makes him a bigger one.
A brain damaged Democrat thinks more clearly than their mainstream.
It’s not a messaging problem. It’s an education problem. Two+ generations of students were lied to.
Also, no one in college today was alive for 9/11/2001.
EC
Misleading title.
Technically, Fetterman didn’t call the Democrats ‘morons’, the Croation he was quoting did.
Now, Senator Fetterman, will you start being sane in your votes? Or will you vote straight down with Dems?
"You people are morons. You are acting out in the open, calling yourselves Socialists and asking for wealth confiscation and redistribution of everything WAY TOO EARLY.
We Rats have been stealthy Communists, and VERY successful ones, for SO LONG and now you are going to blow it by revealing your true intentions.
You morons!
We’ll have a hard time beating him in ‘28. Won’t happen.
Fetterman will be a senator for life in Pennsylvania if he wants to be!
He speaks enough sense to old timey Democrats, and the republican party of PA are just imbecilic dolts who can’t get out of their own way in statewide races.
Filthedelphia is a juggerknot!
And if it weren’t for Trump, and the Biden disaster this past election would NOT have be dominated statewide by the repubican team. They owe that to Trump.
I endorse this statement!
Fetterman is merely asking for DEMS to return to offering voters an alternative but maintaining the Capitalist, Free-Market economic system.
He was just being more succinct!! ;)
Almost unthinkable that Fetterman is the one voice of moderation in the democrat party. he’s all talk though, just like Trey Gowdy was when he was a congressman.
66 percent of Democratic voters view socialism favorably.
They understand what the party was founded on it never changed.
A free ride offer hooks the suckers every time.
They may indeed be morons, but Fetterman errs in taking what they say at face value.
Q. Why is Fetterman a Democrat.
A. So he can get elected in PA.
FRegards, c
Big IQ problem with PA people. Big.
Also they have this lame, 'woe is me; look at what that rich guy did to me' sort of pinheaded take on the world.
So they are steeped in being Rats.
They may be a lost cause.
Communism/Ratism is a religion for them.
