Ok, so this is what it looks like when the government starts moving against free speech. This is what free speech refers to, our ability to freely criticize our leaders, to their faces if we like. It is not "I get to voice every toxic opinion that pops into my head whether or not you like it."
No one is perfect, if we can't criticize our leaders, no progress can be made.

Yes. I know he has some good points. But instead of trying to silence criticism, he could try addressing the issues raised, or to encourage Biden to.
@BrentSullivan @tippitiwichet Yup. I'm with you. And I hope that after the stupid election, Mr. Fetterman grabs balls again and does demand some criticisms be addressed.
@BrentSullivan Yes, exactly. We need to pressure this out of existence, hopefully a change in how we vote will force hopefuls to address real issues, not play distraction tennis. I saw some areas were actually testing ranked voting, that's exciting.
@tippitiwichet
I like ranked choice voting as a way out of the trap
@tippitiwichet Part of what frustrates me is that I'm pretty sure Biden would rather John Fetterman fell off the Earth into outer space. He's unlikely to want to be associated with a populist with a biker beard and a hoodie, who doesn't like corporations and is actually pro-union, and who didn't rely on the big money donors and superpacs the Democratic party likes to depend on.
Biden isn't going to take advice from him.
Fetterman's defending a guy who likely wouldn't have his back in return.
@tippitiwichet
He's just reinforcing the box our two party system puts us all in.
We've been living under "lesser evilism" for a few decades and it chafes
