Hardcore troubadour 12,630 Posted October 26, 2022 I do find it weird that the democrats in Pennsylvania were so unworried about the seat that they let this guy go on after a while.

TheNewGirl 1,028 Posted October 26, 2022 I watched something about Fetterman recently and how he has to have special computer programs developed to interpret things for him; he can't type or something like that. Or hearing words don't always work as well as reading them, due to how he processes information after his stroke. That said, he might just not be fit to be an elected official. I know that sounds terrible. My mom had a stroke last year and she can't really read anymore, just because her brain doesn't interpret words the same. I think asking someone to represent the people - they should be able to do that without my worrying about how he interprets something. Will he need someone to read everything to him and explain it? I don't know, and it sounds really unfair to say that he shouldn't even run. And he's not in my state, so I don't even have a vote here. But I guess I would just feel more comfortable voting for someone who has good cognitive abilities; and Fetterman just doesn't. Unfortunately, his opponent is a big tool bag as well.

IGotWorms 3,310 Posted October 26, 2022 I did not like him as a candidate anyway. Hate the baggy shorts, hooded sweatshirt and tattoos thing. Are you actually a slob? Shouldn’t be a US Senator then. And if it’s just pandering, well that’s taking it way too damn far. I know they don’t tend to be the brightest in PA but even they should be offended by that. Then with the stroke, I’m conflicted. I think it’s appropriate he gets accommodation and I believe it’s reasonable to expect he will recover in time. But obviously some people were going to have an issue with it, and you can talk about disability rights and such, but there’s enough there to give cover and even to lend itself to some legitimate concerns on the part of voters. I do think he probably should’ve dropped out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the stroke caused damage to the actual brain matter, his recovery won't be back to "what he was." It really depends on what kind of stroke, where, and the type of rehab he did in the VERY early days after it happened. If he's having issues with cognition, reading, and comprehension; these likely won't change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 496 Posted October 26, 2022 https://www.yahoo.com/news/view-rallies-around-fetterman-accuses-162841547.html Quote The hosts of The View kicked off Wednesday’s broadcast by circling the wagons around John Fetterman following Tuesday night’s “painful” Senate debate performance which saw the Pennsylvania Democrat noticeably struggling with auditory processing issues following his stroke. Besides roundly defending the Senate hopeful’s uncomfortably conflicting statements on fracking, the panelists also accused GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz of bullying his opponent throughout the debate. “It was really strange to me that he chose to bully a stroke victim,” co-host Sunny Hostin declared at one point.

I can't really say when the mail in voting jawn started, but I've never received a ballot in the mail. It probably doesn't help that I am a registered Independent, and live in a very conservative (borderline racist) section of the city, but I've never heard of any neighbor getting sent ballots either. Doesn't really matter. Everybody in the area just goes to vote in person. They might erase our votes, but at least we will theoretically make them work harder to do so.
