General Discussion

Fetterman has a clear disability. Post-stroke, his brain is unable to fully process auditory input. That's why he uses his cell phone to close caption conversations. As Democrats/liberals/progressives, we are understanding of and show compassion toward people with disabilities.

I knew a person who had aphasia after a brain injury from a stroke, I believe. He began each interaction with a standard phrase saying he had aphasia so whoever he was speaking with understood. That is what Fetterman and Gisele need to learn to do, begin each interaction with anyone they don't know telling that person Fetterman has an audio processing disability, needs to translate words to text and needs his cell phone or other device and could they please speak clearly so the device can accurately translate. Something as simple as "I do not process spoken words well. Could you please speak clearly into my speech to text transcriber."
