Part of our culture’s ongoing stigmatization of disability stems from our profound lack of understanding about the variability—and spectrum—of physical and mental challenges. Day after day, we stigmatize disabled Americans, but we also jeer at our fellow citizens who even present as disabled in some minor way. Liberals once ruthlessly mocked the halting manner in which Donald Trump descended a ramp. Because Trump did not walk normally, in their view, something was of course wrong with him—further evidence he was unfit to be president. Conservatives, for their part, continue to attack Joe Biden because he manages a stutter and does not speak “normally.” Fetterman, who has dealt with auditory-processing issues and has exhibited muddled speech since his stroke, is likewise the subject of troubled stares, jokes, and questions about his fitness to serve in the U.S. Senate.

Imagine what mental gymnastics this mongoloid had to endure to actually push this.

They want to install literal retards as your rulers, and they will destroy you for objecting to it.

"Evidence" never entered into it. If you see someone walking in a way they never walk in other situations it's pretty obvious they're doing it for a reason, such as the surface they're walking on potentially being slick.

Conservatives, for their part, continue to attack Joe Biden because he manages a stutter and does not speak “normally.”

This not only downplays the extent of Biden's issues, it fails to take into account the fact that he didn't speak this way before. It's one thing if a president is just a poor orator, and quite another to observe a decline over time.

Fetterman, who has dealt with auditory-processing issues and has exhibited muddled speech since his stroke, is likewise the subject of [...] questions about his fitness to serve in the U.S. Senate.

Every candidate for Senator is the subject of questions about their fitness to serve in the Senate. That's how it fucking works. The idea of not doing so is simply ludicrous.

Dr. Oz must win this Senate race!

Oz will stab the voters in the back. Fetterman will stab the voters wherever his handlers point him.

I am not supporting Oz because I think he will be a good senator.

He is needed to get at least 51 R Senators to take the Senate.

Biden appointed circuit judges need to be stopped and Oz winning helps in that.

Oz is vastly better than Fetterman for this one reason.

Only reason why I hope Oz wins is that this trend of electing a literal vegetable to office needs to end.

Both are just as corrupt. But 1 sends a worse precedent in my mind.
