The far-left is eating their own again, and this time Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is on the menu. The Working Families Party has launched a scathing campaign targeting Fetterman for a 2028 primary challenge, complete with a dedicated website PrimaryFetterman.com, after the Democrat dared to break ranks with progressive orthodoxy.

The bitter betrayal accusations stem from Fetterman's recent pivot toward more moderate positions that actually align with his blue-collar Pennsylvania constituents – a move that has sent his former progressive backers into absolute meltdown mode.

Progressive Purity Tests Strike Again

What's driving this leftist rage? Fetterman has committed the unforgivable sin of thinking for himself instead of parroting every talking point from the progressive playbook. His support for Israel, skepticism of certain progressive policies, and willingness to work across the aisle have made him a heretic in the eyes of the radical left.

The Working Families Party's dramatic overreaction perfectly illustrates the toxic purity culture that has consumed the Democratic Party. If you don't march in lockstep with every far-left position, you're branded a sellout and marked for political destruction.

"He sold us out," progressive activists are crying, apparently shocked that a senator might prioritize his state's interests over their radical agenda.

This civil war within the Democratic ranks should be music to the ears of every patriot watching the left implode. While President Trump is busy making America great again, Democrats are busy destroying each other over ideological purity tests.

The Real Winner? Pennsylvania Voters

Here's the irony: Fetterman's move toward the center actually makes him more representative of working-class Pennsylvanians who sent him to Washington. But the progressive elite can't stand the thought of their puppets developing independent thought.

This progressive purge attempt shows just how out of touch the radical left has become with everyday Americans. When even supporting our ally Israel becomes grounds for a primary challenge, you know the Democratic Party has lost its way completely.

Will Pennsylvania Democrats choose common sense over progressive extremism in 2028? The civil war is just getting started.

It's never too early to start the circular firing squad apparently!

Finally! Fetterman was never progressive enough for the radical left. This primary fight is going to tear the Democrats apart and I'm here for it.

Same! Pass the popcorn - watching them eat their own is always entertaining.

This doesn't surprise me at all. The progressive wing has been moving further and further left, and even someone like Fetterman isn't radical enough for them anymore. What does this say about where the Democratic party is heading?

My liberal coworkers were just praising Fetterman last year, now they're talking about finding someone 'more aligned with progressive values.' The purity tests never end with these people. This infighting is exactly what we need heading into 2028.

I predicted this would happen after Fetterman started taking more moderate positions on some issues. The progressive groups don't tolerate any deviation from their agenda - it's their way or the highway.
