Dasha Burns and everyone backing her up is saying “disabled people and anyone who needs any kind of accommodation are not fit to run for office.” Fuck that and fuck her.

Not his biggest fan but wish him the best recovery and hope he does what’s right for PA when he wins.

If the guy can comprehend via reading I don’t see the big deal.

If he can understand reading he is mentally fine. Speech recognition and enunciation are the hardest parts of stroke recovery. My FIL had 3 strokes over a decade and is alive and well. It took a few months after the first one for his speech to be coherent but he was able to communicate by writing just fine. It's a real shame anyone would use a medical emergency that he survived against some one.

> If he can understand reading he is mentally fine.

Thanks doc, but I'm gonna need a second opinion.

Dr. Ooze is clearly not the one to go to for that 2nd opinion. Violates every tenet of the Hippocratic Oath.

Maybe you can ask your dog for a second opinion? Oh wait they were illegally euthanized for unethical research that was destroyed as unusable.

Thanks Dog, but I'm gonna need a third opinion.

But can he understand reading?

He seemed to know his diet pills weren’t quite as advertised, so it seems he can read, but so can Fetterman

>He seemed to know his diet pills weren’t quite as advertised, so it seems he can read, but so can Fetterman

Indeed.
Personally, I'm glad that both major candidates for PA governor this year are reportedly capable of reading.

And while that's absolutely fantastic. Really, great job everyone on voting this year!
But I'm just thinking we could go a bit further and maybe have some additional standards outside of literacy.

Ok, let’s talk about a doctor hawking miracle diet pills on tv and how that qualifies them to be my senator.

I wouldn't think it did.

But in this thread it seems that there a NO qualifications to become a senator beyond basic literacy.

Fetterman should get a second opinion on that gigantic lump on the back of his neck as well.

That thing is big enough to have its own Senator.

I'm not a fan of him AT ALL but I wish him well and a speedy recovery.

You think that someone who can read at 100% comprehension isn’t mentally capable?

He’s essentially speech-impaired and hearing-impaired. End of list.

To say he’s unfit for office is straight up gross ass ableist bullshit.

>You think that someone who can read at 100% comprehension isn’t mentally capable?

Mentally capable of what?

Being a narrator? Yeah I think they're capable of it.

Governing a state? I dunno, I guess I need more than basic literacy out of a person for that.

Dr. Oz is a sleeze bag grifting con man but do go on.

I’m not even going to argue with a person that thinks hearing and speech impaired people don’t have a place in government. How privileged you are.

> I’m not even going to argue with a person that thinks hearing and speech impaired people don’t have a place in government. How privileged you are.

Good call. I wouldn't either.

Only his doctor could be a certain as you are. Are you his doctor?

That goes both ways.

so basically every congressman and senator who uses a cane, a hearing aide, glasses, wheelchair, etc is completely and utterly unfit for office.

He was also convicted of animal cruelty of over 1000 animals on research that was deemed to be unusable.

That’s Oz in a nutshell. Vile bastard.

It honestly sickens me to see him have any support in this state. I encountered my first pro-Oz supporters yesterday and it shook me to my core that people genuinely support him.

I have neighbors who have his AND Mastriano signs up. Trump cretins who learned NOTHING. I do not even acknowledge their existence. Beyond stupid. WAY beyond stupid.

Greg Abbott and Madison Cawthorn are in wheelchairs but Fetterman's stroke apparently makes him unfit. Also don't Republican voters read at a 6th grade level? They wouldn't even be able to understand closed captioning
