Would you say it was ableism to not trust someone with Alzheimer's too? It's a disability after all. Should someone with Alzheimer's be considered an important political ally?
Who has Alzheimers?
You do understand the concept of a hypothetical question, don't you? How about you answer it?
You do? Is it a serious hypothetical? Like... you get to judge and say Diane Feinstein is fine while rolling her around in a wheelchair and speaking for her? Or that Biden is fine too... perfectly capable of being President until January even though he's had multiple brain surgeries and literally couldn't finish a sentence in a debate with Trump? Oh, but this guy that ran his own independent campaign and got almost 10%... he said he had a worm in his brain. That is too much for me... definitely unfit!
Rather than make assumptions about me and who I wish to remain in office, how about you answer my question?
I did answer it. RFK Jr. is perfectly capable of being an ally for Democrats, way more so than many of the same representatives that Democrats have relied on.
That has nothing to do with what I asked you about trusting someone with Alzheimer's to be a political ally. I think you are refusing to answer the question because the obvious answer undermines your ableism point.
