Not every Democrat in Congress agrees with everything that the party does. They go along because they have bigger things that they want to accomplish such as expanding healthcare or reversing income inequality. I think that what sent Fetterman over the edge was criticism of Israel over their actions in Gaza. There were reports that his aides were saying that he acted like that is all he cared about. The stroke may still have had something to do with it.
