Reply to comment by StassiMae75 in Obama praises John Fetterman as someone with whom you can 'have a normal conversation,' says the Pennsylvania Democrat has 'some sense of how the rest of America lives' by BlankVerse
Are you trying to not be taken seriously? He was a mayor and then lieutenant governor of our commonwealth. Have you done those things?
I’m looking for reasons to vote for Oz over Fetterman, to be honest. But you and the looney tunes brigade yelling hyperbolic shit like “has contributed nothing to society” actually turns me away.
Would love to know what the hell you do for a living that makes you feel so high and mighty to say stuff like that.

Plus his years at Americorps, and as a GED teacher. Just because a job doesn't have pay doesn't mean it's not a job.

I honestly couldnt care less what u think about me. And never have I said Oz was a good candidate. I merely commented on what I thought about Obama's comments. Carry on 🙂

I’m saying that your response to me is pathetic.
You spout really negative crap about a guy’s character, but then shy away when someone calls you on it under the guise of “not caring.”
Doesn’t say much about you as a person, or at the bare minimum it doesn’t say much about how you act online.
If you’re gonna say something as consequential as Fetterman not having any contribution toward society, I had hoped you had actualreasons to believe such a thing. But apparently you’re just another person who doesn’t feel the least bit obligated to support what you say.

You just invented lies about Fetterman since you dont have actual criticisms. Sad af lol.

Why on earth would you look for reasons to justify voting for a carpet bagger, you sound like you know better
tyrael459 t1_isjm3eh wrote
I do have legitimate concerns about Fetterman’s health.
JoshuaIan t1_isjmcfq wrote
Oh, ok,a healthy carpet bagger is better then?
tyrael459 t1_isjoi9e wrote
I’m not sure.
Oz is a smart guy. You can’t argue that. And frankly, I don’t think he’s truly a conservative. I can see him being closer to the center, which is something I do want.
Although there is one massive thing I agree with Fetterman: Universal healthcare.

Yes, con men usually seem smart to marks, but that doesn't make them a good choice for anything

Listen, if you can’t admit Oz is a smart guy, I think you have some problems.
JoshuaIan t1_isk90oh wrote
Lol yeah like I said, con men always seem smart to marks, you're just telling everybody you're a mark.

He was a surgeon. Holy shit, can you act more partisan? Give the guy credit for what he did. He’s an absolute scumbag now, but he’s smart, and you look small for not being able to admit that.

He's one of the most famous and well known snake oil salesmen in the country. You're just telling on yourself that you fell for it by even advocating giving such a massive clown the benefit of doubt.
For example, people thought Donald Trump was smart too, because he conned them. Do you think Donald Trump is smart as well? The guy that stared into an eclipse? No, he's just really good at scamming dumb people. And a surgeon? Big fucking deal, Ben Carson was a surgeon and he's one of the dumbest assholes in public life. And meanwhile, as an engineer who spent about a decade supporting doctors, let me tell you, if you think somebody is smart just because they're a doctor??? Lmao. Bless your heart.
tyrael459 t1_islllet wrote
Yes, I do think people are smart if they become doctors. Yes, Ben Carson is a smart man, too.
But being smart doesn’t mean you’re not dumb. Or cruel. Or corrupt.
I know this is the internet, but I would recommend you put more effort into viewing the world and its people with nuance.
People aren’t the cardboard cutouts you make of them (me included). Oz was and is a smart man, smarter than you or me, I would wager. But that doesn’t preclude him from other negative characteristics.
I worry for our future when people only see in absolutes.
JoshuaIan t1_islq449 wrote
Tell somebody that has seen doctors do some of the dumbest shit imaginable that doctors are automatically smart just because they're a doctor, and then tell them they have no nuance
Surprisingly enough for somebody that thinks Oz is smart - without any sort of irony or self reflection!

You’re either not reading my posts or you’re intentionally being dense.
Of course doctors make mistakes. They make mistakes because they’re people, and people make mistakes and do “dumb shit,” as you put it. I’ve been dealing with doctors my entire life due to certain health issues. They are people just like all of us, but they are damn smart people when it comes to their fields of study, and they have my utmost respect.
Unless they turn to making insane money off vulnerable people with treatments they know don’t work, like Oz. That doesn’t make them any less smart, but it does make them cruel.

I honestly don't know if I would place Oz's medical acumen that high given that he used his show to push bogus cures that didn't work.
Fetterman's stroke only affects his auditory processing.
The question you might have to ask yourself is, would you vote for a deaf man who needs help hearing. As a blind person, I would.
