I’m just hearing MAGA talking points here.

So Oz says decisions about pregnancies are between a woman, her doctor, and her politicians???

GTFO

This election (here and across the country) is about abortion. Whether Fetterman is hunting for words or not, Oz wants a politician to decide a woman's pregnancy.

PA resident. My friend group is moderate Dem and everyone r is either voting for OZ or staying home. There is a lot of anger that Fetterman was even on the ticket. The debate was horrible for Fetterman.

You have fools for friends.

I am sorry. Look at Fetterman and what he stands for. This is not mainstream. He is also in no medical shape to serve. The bar has to be higher to be declared competent for this job.

We lived through 4 years of Trump. Didn’t hear you squawking about any bar then.

How do you know what I was squawking about over the past 4 years? This is an anonymous forum.

Sure you were similarly concerned about Trump. MAGAs are so transparent.

It was no where near as bad as these people on twitter are making it out to be
Yes he stumbled a little more than the average politician during a debate but all things considered having had a stroke not long ago he did really well

Nonetheless no I wouldn’t vote for him at this time. Having a stroke has physical and cognitive side effects. It is possible that with the passage of time both improve but it’s not a given. There is also quite a bit of follow up medical appts and monitoring. And once a person has a stroke they are far more likely to suffer another. He needs to put time and effort into healing and that is where his energy will eventually be needed. He can continue to push himself but he will likely burn out it worse suffer another stroke. I know someone who struggled with aphasia after a stroke. It took a few months to get back to a level where he didn’t have to struggle for the most common words and about a year out, he only struggled if he became very tired. It didn’t go away completely it just improved.

Agree that this didn't look as bad as it's being made out to be. And he'll (probably) continue to improve.

Not vote for him? Not voting for him is a vote for the other guy. So yes, I would vote for him at this time and in November.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The media has been truthful the whole time. He had a stroke. He has aphasia. He is not mentally diminished. All of that has been reported.

My father had and still has both after his stroke. He seemed mentally competent despite his speech but he was really quite impaired - could no longer read and comprehend what he was reading, could not work on the computer (and he had a doctorate in CS), etc.

Members of Congress get cancer and go out for months for treatment & recovery….including multiple bouts of cancer. Steve Scalise was shot and out of commission for months. Tons of members of congress have serious medical conditions that require ongoing care, including Senator McConnell.

Fetterman will be fine and improve with time. He will have doctors in both DC and PA helping with ongoing speech therapy.

This is truly a nothingburger. The guy isn’t a vegetable, he can think and write. Debate and speech is mostly dead in the Senate.

Why are you comparing cancer or physical disabilities to mental impairment? Of course we aren't going to kick someone out of the Senate for physical injuries or disabilities. The truth is nobody, except perhaps him, knows his full condition, and the extent of actual damage. He may recover further, or he many not.
