The big difference is that with Connor the voters would know what they were getting and that his positions would be. Fetterman got the job running on certain issues and changed once he got the seat. I Don’t want to get into why he did what he did but the stroke might have played a role but he might have always been this way. If Connor was voting this way we would have to blame the voters since they knew what it was. With Fetterman doing what he’s doing people that donated to his campaign and voted for him have a right to feel betrayed because he didn’t run on the issues that he’s now vouching for.
