    An overwhelming majority of President Joe Biden's fellow Democrats in the Senate on Wednesday backed a statement reiterating U.S. support of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    The only two Democratic senators who did not sign onto the amendment were John Fetterman and Joe Manchin.
    Fetterman has long supported a two-state solution, but he believed the measure should include language stipulating the destruction of Hamas as a precondition to peace, an aide said.

    A sensible policy position to take. Hamas must not be in any way a part of any future Palestinian identity or state.

      That much should be obvious to our esteemed leaders. But then we abandoned Afghanistan to the Taliban, so….

                      Don’t know how he identifies, but based on the beard, beer belly, and hairy plumber’s cleavage, I will guess that you’re wrong.

                              On some long-running criticisms that are levied against Fetterman:

                              1. Fashion sense should not have been an important metric with which to judge an elected legislator anyway.

                              2. As for Fetterman's speech impairment, his campaign said it's going to be temporary and that his condition will improve. Time has proven that they told the truth on that matter. Move on, be glad that Pennsylvania has elected a good US Senator into the U.S. Congress.

                                You wear (Walmart) neckties.

                                Why?

                                Is it because you like wearing neckties, or the situation in which you find yourself would find it inappropriate to be without a necktie?

                                There's something to be said to accepting the norms of your institution and society.

                                "Told the truth" ≠ "Were right." They were hopeful that his speech would recover, and they were correct. To say that "they told the truth" is not quite accurate. If his speech had not improved, would you say that they lied? I wouldn't - I would say that they were wrong.

                                I'll withhold judgment. Though I agree with many of the positions he's taken in the last 4 months, I've not been following his legislative activity close enough to judge.

                                        https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2868364/fetterman-claims-democrats-criticizing-biden-helping-trump/

                                        Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have spoken out against President Joe Biden, arguing that those who are “might as well just get your MAGA hat.”

                                        The Pennsylvania senator’s comment comes as Biden is seeking reelection this November, with former President Donald Trump being his likely opponent. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, multiple Democratic lawmakers and strategists have spoken out against Biden, citing recent policy decisions the president has made and concerns about his electability.

                                        “I don’t understand why,” Fetterman said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that, whether you’re just chasing clout or you want to make it in the news or anything like that. But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat because you now are helping Trump with this.”
