So I guess this is where we are:

Whatever voters ultimately decide at the polls, Fetterman’s performance marks something of a milestone for the disability community, which remains underrepresented at every level of elected office.
Because lets put mentally defective* people in critical roles and roles that require quick thought, action, and responsibility. There are simply certain jobs that require either physical superiority, mental acuity, or both. Saying that "anyone can do anything" will lead to disaster, or even death.
* I know that term sounds cruel, but it's accurate. It's not a knock on people who have physical or mental disabilities. It's a statement of fact that certain jobs require certain minimum abilities, and going all Harrison Bergeron is going to be extremely detrimental to society. There are plenty of other jobs that disabled people can and should be encouraged to do - even critical jobs - that don't put others at risk. For that matter, we have a number of elected officials with physical disabilities (which don't affect what a politician does), so you can't say the disabled aren't represented.
