strategies. We should rate them on policy. Fetterman's economic policies are in line with AOC and Bernie Sanders. Fetterman is in a swing state. If he gets primaried, it would probably be by a moderate Democrat. Whoever wins that battle would be weakened because of it meaning the Republican would be more likely to win. Is this worth losing a Senate seat?
