There are those who are bashing Fetterman?

[imanamerican63]

Well, let see how GOBers had missteps in their past?

The top ten in reverse order?

#10- Bush #2, he could put a sentence together at all?
#9- Rick Perry, debate stubble of the agencies he wanted to cut!
#8- Dan Quayle, couldn’t spell potatoes!
#7- Marco Rubio, sweating and trying to drink water was an issues!
#6- Sarah Palin, well there is so many!
#5- Again Marco Rubio, stood like a statue when Val Demmings shredded his dignity!
#4- Trump, studering his way thru an interview!
#3- Trump, staring down Hilary in their debate!
#2- Hershel Walker, being used by Trump and the GOBers and pulling out a prop at their debate!
#1- all the GOBers, because they clam up when asked about fixing the issues they caused!

1. Kicking for visibility

2. All valid observations

but don't gaslight those who saw what they saw: a recent stroke victim mid-recovery who struggled mightily with articulating his thoughts.

I have more respect for those who point out his improving condition and the amount of remaining recovery time he would have before assuming office than those who say, "He did great, and you're a liar (or worse) if you don't agree."

See my sig.

3. What purpose does this serve?

This is what Magats want us talking about.

4. Your list doesn't matter.

It may make his existing supporters feel better, but undecided voters in Pennsylvania won't be thinking of any of those others.

5. Not to overlook DeSantis' stunned silence

Refusing to answer a simple question fron Crist as to whether or not he would serve a full term as governor if re-elected.

6. True!

7. Why Fetterman's Senate campaign is a teaching moment greater than this election

John Fetterman could have skipped this debate due to his medical condition but showed up and got some good lines in. Many senators have had strokes and it is wrong to attack John Fetterman for his medical condition

When Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, was trailing his opponent in polls and fundraising a few weeks ago, he resorted to a desperate tactic to get the upper hand in an ever-tightening race: leveraging ableism against a person with disabilities.......

If having a stammer or a hearing impairment disqualifies someone from running or holding office, are we living up to the promise of democracy and government by the people? President Joe Biden’s stutter has been the subject of ridicule and has been used to discredit him, but don’t we want children with speech challenges to grow up knowing they can aim for any job, even the presidency?

Disabled Americans have the right to be represented, and most importantly, to work, and that includes working for the U.S. government. An employer wouldn’t be allowed to refuse to hire a person because they have a hearing or speech difference, so why is it acceptable when it comes to holding office?

People with disabilities are one of the most underrepresented populations in local and federal government. You don’t have to look far to understand why, when demeaning and discriminating them based on their disability is the accepted status quo. News outlets shouldn’t be endorsing the idea that someone who has a speech or hearing impairment is less fit to serve. They should be questioning that logic. Replace disability with any other identity and the prejudice is clear.......

There are many reasons besides Oz's blatant ableism that make this tight race even tighter, with both campaigns ratcheting up the attack ads as Election Day approaches. But we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that disabled Americans shouldn’t be scorned from running for office, they should be encouraged to. Strong candidates don’t need to rely on ableism to win. If Oz wants a fair fight, he can stick to attacking his opponents’ policies rather than his disabilities.
