Fetterman voice of sanity among Democrats
...
Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is standing out like a sore thumb among his Democratic colleagues as the threat of a government shutdown looms large. While the party grapples with its priorities, Fetterman’s plea is simple: let’s keep the government running, even if it means putting some fights on hold. His perspective feels like a breath of fresh air in a polarized Capitol Hill, where compromise seems like a distant memory.
Fetterman’s not shy about his worries. On CNN’s State of the Union, he laid it out plain: “Hey, I would love to restore a lot of those healthcare things, that is the right outcome, but that is a dangerous practice if you are going to shut the government down for one of our policies.”
...
Fetterman is right. Democrats should be open to compromise. There is a reason why that party is now polling in the thirties. They need to be working on an agenda that a majority of Americans support.
