LOL, Buzzfeed did an article asking "Can Fetterman shitpost his way to the Senate"?

Could John Fetterman Shitpost His Way to the Senate?

The Pennsylvania Democrat’s social media feeds have become increasingly peppered with homemade memes aimed at his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

In late June, John Fetterman posted a photo of an edited Hawaii driver's license, in which the state was blurred out to read "Pennsylvania," and the picture was replaced with Dr. Mehmet Oz's face next to the name "McLovin." He captioned the photo with only one word—"giggle"—and an emoji of a face laughing with a hand over its mouth.

The meme, a reference to the raunchy 2007 film Superbad, in which a teenager gets a fake Hawaii ID to buy drinks under the name "McLovin," was a dig at his Republican opponent's residency and the latest in a series of posts seemingly aimed at Fetterman's younger, more online base.

it actually works well here because there's no complex arguments or ideological mess to cut through, Fetterman is just making the case-especially to voters in Western PA-that Oz isn't really anything like you and doesn't understand you at all. A simple statement where nothing is lost through the mockery.

Agreed. His TV ads are pretty traditional though, red meat stuff. It's smart, he's covering his angles

The best part is Fetterman actually responded to this article saying he's sure gonna try.

John is a good dude; hoping he brings his presence to the Senate floor so bad.

Seeing Snooki again reminds me of that Tila Tequila figure. I heard she went off the deep end though

Fetterman is the guy that I have one of the best 26 second conversations with at Sheetz. Absolutely perfect candidate for PA and has national appeal.

I'm sticking around here long enough to help make sure Fetterman secures his seat.

Fetdawg as I call him seems like a great guy. Seems like the guy who would be eating a hoagie off the trash can at Wawa at 4PM who goes "yooo bud" to everyone who walks in.

That's why I voted for him.

He needs to watch his hoagie intake. Man has all sorts of heart issues and I really hope he's taking his health seriously.

yeah, i know he isn't perfect but Fetterman is the exact example of the type of pol the Dems should be pursuing and developing. Just an authentic person that is hyperlocal and interested in delivering for all his constituents, basically. You compare him to his opponent and there's no question who the real Pennsylvanian is there.

He'll probably win this race and the sky is the limit as far as I'm concerned.

Consistently ceding the online space to all these nazi chuds because the Dem leadership is ancient is insanely disappointing considering they're a minority. Ppl like him and AOC that have good beliefs/policies but can actually shitpost and meme correctly is definitely a positive campaign attribute these days

Not Wawa, Sheetz! You want to give him another stroke?

Yeah, he had a stroke earlier in the summer

I can only hope Democrats will have their first ever shitposter presidential nominee (albeit one with a social consisence) before too long. Republicans really stole a march on that one.
