Fetterman was recovering from a stroke…. I don’t think comparing Biden’s performance to a recovering stroke victims is a very powerful positive message.

If Biden was recovering from a stroke y’all wouldn’t be nearly as understanding. Hell you somehow acted better when Bernie had his heart attack

At what age does a candidate’s physical or mental ailments become a liability rather than a part of who they are?

Would anyone be as critical of a 45 year old candidate with cerebral palsy / some other condition and their ability to govern if they acted the exact same way Biden did? Come the fuck on now.

I know I’ll probably get downvoted for this comment
