Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

The traitor John Fetterman

 Yeah, ok, we know there will be those who will think exactly that - John Fetterman is a traitor. The next Joe Manchin. 

BUT............. what is YOUR take on Fetterman agreeing to go to Mar-A-Lago to meet with the big guy?

Apparently, some Leftist publications don't think much of it..............

John Fetterman Pathetically Brags About Planned Trump Mar-a-Lago Visit

Fetterman would be the first sitting Democratic senator to visit Donald Trump at his estate—and for some reason, he’s proud of it.https://newrepublic.com/post/190062/john-fetterman-plan-trump-mar-a-lago-visit

Other publications are taking a more nuanced look at Fetterman's plans...............

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has become a voice of bipartisanship, making moves that he tells Axios are "responsible and completely appropriate" — but that are putting him on an island, apart from other Democrats.

  • As the vast majority of Democrats on Capitol Hill fume over many of Donald Trump's Cabinet picks and his plans for a second term, Fetterman is showing a rare willingness to engage with parts of MAGA world.

Why it matters: It's easy to think Fetterman could be a new version of Democrat-turned-independent Joe Manchin, a West Virginian who occasionally has frustrated Democrats and the Biden administration with his legislative demands.

  • That would be wrong. Fetterman — the casually attired challenger of the Senate's suit-and-tie tradition — is a reliable Democratic vote who's emerging as an independent voice within his party simply by emphasizing the need to talk more with the other side.

WHAT YOU ALL SAY?
Traitor? Smart guy? Sell out? Maybe trying in his own humble way to influence Trump?
