    The Fetterman campaign in Pennsylvania declined a September debate, while Katie Hobbs and Mark Kelly in Arizona are questioning debate format rules.

    Democrat candidates running in key U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races across the country are avoiding debates with their Republican opponents in the leadup to the 2022 midterm elections.

    On Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate John Fetterman announced that he would not be participating in a televised debate scheduled for Sept. 6 against his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz, citing his ongoing recovery from a stroke as part of his justification for the decision.

    “As I recover from this stroke and improve my auditory processing and speech, I look forward to continuing to meet with the people of Pennsylvania. They’ll always know where I stand,” he said in a statement.

    Since his stroke in May, Fetterman has had limited public appearances on the campaign trail, with the Pennsylvania Democrat producing incoherent ramblings during speeches to voters.

    In his statement, Fetterman also cited his hurt feelings over comments from the Oz campaign as his main reason for not participating in the debate. Earlier on Tuesday, the Oz team had put out a list of “concessions” for the debate to accommodate Fetterman, which included an offer to “‘pay for any additional medical personnel’ that Fetterman might need on standby” and “bathroom breaks and allowing him to have all of his notes on hand, along with an earpiece to obtain answers from his staff.”

    “Today’s statement from Dr. Oz’s team made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor. I chose not to participate in this farce,” Fetterman said. “My recovery may be a joke to Dr. Oz and his team, but it’s real for me.”

    “I will not be participating in a debate the first week of September, but look forward to having … a real conversation on this once Dr. Oz and his team are ready to take this seriously,” he added.

    Fetterman has yet to commit to any of the five moderated debates proposed by Oz earlier this month.

    The Oz campaign has since released a press release on the matter, with Communications Director Brittany Yanick saying that Fetterman’s campaign “is insulting the intelligence of Pennsylvania voters.”

    “We heard John Fetterman won’t debate Oz in the ‘first week of September’. Ok, so when will he debate?” Yanick said. “He won’t ever say – not even in his latest whiny statement.”


    The Fetterman campaign did not respond to The Federalist’s inquiry as to whether Fetterman believes Pennsylvania voters deserve to see him and Oz debating the issues most pertinent to the commonwealth on live television.

    Pennsylvania is hardly the only state where Democrat candidates are seemingly ducking their Republican opponents’ debate challenges. In Arizona, the state’s Democrat candidates for governor and U.S. Senate, Katie Hobbs and Mark Kelly, are both reportedly attempting to create an issue out of existing debate format rules to avoid debating their respective GOP opponents, Kari Lake and Blake Masters.

    According to Arizona Central reporter Stacey Barchenger, Hobbs was supposed to RSVP for the [Citizens Clean Elections Commission (AZCCEC)] & [Arizona PBS] gubernatorial debate” on Aug. 26, but “at 5:24 p.m., her campaign manager sent an email to AZCCEC asking for a meeting to discuss changes to the format” before fully committing.

    “Asking for changes, Hobbs’ campaign manager Nicole DeMont cited the primary debate among GOP candidates for #AZgov she said ‘turned Arizona into a national laughing stock, and Secretary Hobbs has too much respect for this state and its voters to participate in such an event,'” Barchenger reported in a tweet.

    “We would like to find a time to meet to discuss changes to the proposed format that will avoid another circus like the GOP primary debate and will lead to a substantive debate of ideas between the candidates,” DeMont reportedly added.



    In the state’s U.S. Senate race, Democrat candidate Mark Kelly has similarly been raising complaints over AZCCEC’s current debate format, with Kelly’s campaign manager reportedly saying in an email to the group that the campaign has “some concerns about the suggested format” after “seeing [the] recent Republican gubernatorial debate.”

    Debate organizers have given Hobbs and Kelly a Friday deadline to accept or decline the invitation to the October debate, according to local Arizona reporter Brahm Resnik, who also confirmed that both Lake and Masters have already agreed to participate.

    Fetterman is a stroke away from death. That dude talks as well as dumb Robinette yet he resembles crackhead Hunter more.

    how about just people who want to...

    ban abortions
    roll back gay marriage
    make it legal to discriminate against LGBT people
    give tax breaks to the rich
    deny or ignore climate change
    refuse any form of gun control
    want religion in the classroom
    want to privatize social security or roll back medicare/medicaid

    i think those are good enough metrics to be right wing

    when you get into muh white people being replaced and wanting to overturn elections, thats when you get into magafascist territory

    "not sure" how a conservative is different from a liberal

    so whats a true liberal in your eyes? policy positions, etc. or who would be an example?
    anyone who can think reasonably without being a sissy and getting their feelings hurt or involved in every damn issue. we have to go back a couple decades to find a real liberal. they don't exist in today's world.
    so what policy positions would a true liberal hold on the major issues?
    - uphold law and order
    - let people govern their own bodies
    - less government involvement(even though i think yall want more gov intervention)
    - handouts for those with the capacity to work
    - prop up our communities
    -etc...

    the list could go on and on. as well, you far leftys probably hold some of the same ideals close that i agree with except i believe yall go to the extremes of issues and then plop them feels on top of them. yall muddy the waters.
    cool. so how would a true conservative differ from a true liberal on these issues?
    not sure. i'd say yall have quite a few issues that seem the same on paper but yall can't come to a compromise.

    what are some flaws of conservatism?

    i dno by heres why liberals suck!



    What is wrong with modern conservatism? Be specific.
    lol be specific. why you trolls always so demanding? power complex much?

    as for your question... just because i haven't sat here and actually downed this guy or that guy in the conservative party doesn't mean i like or relate to that party. as i have said before, real liberalism died decades ago and the manifestation of liberalism today is more repressive. from free speech to the 2nd amendment, liberals want to silence it all. sad but true. that's the liberal ideology i can't stand and usually it's hipsters, young 20 yr olds with no life experience, old crotchety hippys that are now biz people, professors, etc... a scourge on our society!
    When asked to describe flaws of conservatism, totally nonpartisan koriwhat turns that into a long winded rant about liberalism. I'm shocked

    I'd smash your face in bro but like all the others you're a ing pussy too.

    i dno

    Bro my views have always been out there yet you think putting words in my mouth is the truth when it's just your "truth" because you're a lawyer and this proves just that. Again, show me how much of a conservative I am which you have yet to do up to this point. Where's your paralegal at when you clearly need her/him most rn?

    As far as liberals go, you're not one buddy. You're a blatant piece of leftist and you know it. Don't act coy by trying to pretend you don't know the difference.
