Interesting thread and one question if Fetterman wins (only about a ~50% chance) is whether this *particular* issue is a good one for Fetterman or rather whether it's a smart strategy *in general* to have one or at most two core messages instead of a grabbag.

2/x he has taken one issue--the issue of Mehmet Oz' residency--and crushed him with it across every possible communications channel. From flyovers to trolling with Snooki, to more traditional communications, he has taken one particular point and hammered it.

There is a fine line between tweeting on vacation (fun!) and starting arguments on Twitter on vacation (sociopath shit) and I crossed the line.
Deleting everything except to say I think it’s great that a lot of Bernie and Warren fans like John Fetterman.

Everyone talks about Germany, but Italy actually used to have four reactors and denuclearized a generation ago.
Lots of renewables today but also tons of reliance on Russian natural gas — sure would be nice to have alternatives.

One of the weirdest things about using US subway systems is that their stations don’t usually have services or retail, like ATMs or bakeries or bookstores. Still takes me a while to get used to it

We blew our ability to lead in the development of and setting standards for the 5G technology… by not granting **ONE** Green Card.
Imagine all the technology we’re saying goodbye to by not retaining the foreign STEM talent trained at US universities.
