I may get depressed too if I suddenly went from doing nothing but hanging out in gym shorts and a hoodie with others taking care of every need my whole life to having to get formally dressed and show up for a real job everyday.

Everyone is talking about the recent study how kids can't handle the pressure of a 9-5 and get depressed.

“I may get depressed too if I suddenly went from doing nothing...”

Let’s be honest with ourselves. If you had a massive stroke at the moment you were on the cusp of winning a Senate seat and the stroke greatly affected your ability to speak and understand people around you, wouldn’t that likely lead to depression? Especially if you realize that you aren’t getting any better.

Not being inside Fetterman’s head, I don’t know his disability is affecting his very ability to think, since we think in words.

My comment has nothing to do with the man’s politics or how/why he won his seat. Should he resign? Of course. Any votes he might make will likely make things worse for the country rather than better, but the fact is, whoever replaces him will vote the same way.
