Don't know about Sanders but AOC hasn't exactly been singing Fetterman's praises lately. Yeah, they endorsed him in the 2022 primary but I wouldn't make that into much of a mark of shame.

Don't know about Sanders but AOC hasn't exactly been singing Fetterman's praises lately. Yeah, they endorsed him in the 2022 primary but I wouldn't make that into much of a mark of shame. Everyone thought he'd be in the more progressive camp. The people that preferred Lamb back then weren't doing so because they felt Fetterman's ideological appearance would prove to be a facade, but because they thought that ideology would be an electoral detriment and/or they disagreed with it as well.
AOC even made a public apology to Lamb over that primary.
No, like they might back a Progressive like Deluzio who now represents Lamb's district and split the anti-Fetterman vote.
The progressive media branded him as a Sinema which was not true. He had voted with Biden 100 percent of the time and espoused many liberal positions minus Medicare for All and the progressive version of Green New Deal (he supported BBB). Lamb was tailor made for representing a swing state like Pennsylvania.
In all fairness to AOC, she supported Fetterman because he was traditionally on the progressive wing like her. He was supported by Bernie for the Senate in the primary back in 2016 and supported Bernie for POTUS as well.
However, I think AOC’s wisely trying to stay away from Fetterman. He just keeps on melting down and is not practicing what he’s preaching.
Goodness, the whole 2022 Senate campaign made us all sympathetic for Fetterman. Now it’s like his mental health problems are making him to be a monster.
No, Fetterman wasn’t a monster before. He was saner and actually quite socially conscious. Frankly, being a Senator has only worsened his problems, not made it easier for him.

I think we'd want AOC to "interfere" ...

I don't think he was a monster before?
Re-edited for clarification.
