1/n Everyone! I want y'all to imagine, in some day not too far off, you have a good Democratic POTUS candidate: a sensible, logical, not-too-classist (i.e. the exception), woman who looks to be very possibly good for the entire USA.
2/n Only one problem: she has bipolar syndrome. So rare, that isn't at all. No worries! She's exceptionally well-stabilized on meds, zero cognitive or emotional problems, & it looks she'd make an exceptionally good POTUS *for the whole of the country* (i.e. not just East Coast)
3/n Under your current social AND political systems in the USA, she's, well, she's BUGGERED, isn't she? Her only chance is if she and her doc keep the prescriptions for the meds for her bipolar syndrome *totally top-top-secret* from Day Zero to *forever*.
4/n The issue here isn't the 25th Amendment; under this example, she's exceptionally well-balanced as a person, well-stabilized on meds too, zero problems, no worries. Totally fit as a POTUS.
The issue here is ..... prejudices, opportunism, and myths.

5/n If her meds usage was leaked, factions against her in her own party, & many in the opposing party, would all be SCREAMING:
a/ she's bonkers! [totally untrue].
b/ she might go crazy! [so can anyone at all, you moron].
c/ The MEDS! They're crazy stuff!! [*barf*. You moron].
