Weird.. why did the Biden campaign enlist Robert De Niro to help with events? Does that mean Biden was antivax, and that Kamala said she loves an antivaxer during the first day of the DNC convention?

Also... leaving a dead bear that someone hit with their vehicle in a park is messed up, but sending weapons to a country that has killed 30k+ women & children is normal?

Last, you do realize brain worms is like a serious medical condition? Like... should Democrats now platform on being disabled or a paraplegic disbars them from being an ally?

Is Robert DeNiro an antivaxxer?

And are you actually accusing Democrats of ableism because they don't trust a guy who had WORMS IN HIS BRAIN to be in politics?

Yes Robert DeNiro was alongside RFK Jr at his vaccine safety press event offering money to show it was safe to inject mercury utilized in many vaccines at the time.

And yes it is ableism. Why does it matter that he had worms? Biden has had multiple brain surgeries due to aneurisms.

Would you say it was ableism to not trust someone with Alzheimer's too? It's a disability after all. Should someone with Alzheimer's be considered an important political ally?

Who has Alzheimers?

You do understand the concept of a hypothetical question, don't you? How about you answer it?

You do? Is it a serious hypothetical? Like... you get to judge and say Diane Feinstein is fine while rolling her around in a wheelchair and speaking for her? Or that Biden is fine too... perfectly capable of being President until January even though he's had multiple brain surgeries and literally couldn't finish a sentence in a debate with Trump? Oh, but this guy that ran his own independent campaign and got almost 10%... he said he had a worm in his brain. That is too much for me... definitely unfit!

Rather than make assumptions about me and who I wish to remain in office, how about you answer my question?

I did answer it. RFK Jr. is perfectly capable of being an ally for Democrats, way more so than many of the same representatives that Democrats have relied on.

That has nothing to do with what I asked you about trusting someone with Alzheimer's to be a political ally. I think you are refusing to answer the question because the obvious answer undermines your ableism point.

Look, there's a reason why people who use wheelchairs aren't running track events. Disability is a spectrum, but let's not pretend that it doesn't actually prevent people from doing things.

Like Dianne Feinstein or Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Did that stop Democrats from supporting them?

You mean all the Democrats that were praising them for their decades-long careers and all the good work they'd done, but also calling for them to step down once it was clear they were no longer up to the task?

They wheeled Feinstein around in a wheel chair to "vote" till her dying breath. RBG stayed until Republicans could appoint a Republican justice. They didn't do shit stop gaslighting people.
