I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Sometimes, I can’t easily lift a glass of water with one hand. This doesn’t make me a bad candidate for elected office — and I wish people in both major political parties, including some progressives, would stop acting like it does.

Trump is a bad President because he’s racist, bigoted, and cares more about his own self interest than the health and well being of this country. None of that has anything to do with his ability to drink water or walk down a ramp.
Ableism isn’t okay even when it’s targeting someone we don’t like.
Anyways, if you think my disability doesn’t prevent me from being able to lead, have some spare $, and feel like helping elect me to the PA State House, feel free to drop a donation here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/benhamforpa">https://secure.actblue.com/donate/be...
