  Drugs have consequences whether you accept it or not.

    They do, i know. Theyre not certain. The consequences depend on lots of factors. To disqualify someone because they used drugs without looking more into how it affected that specific person is fatalist bullshit.

      Oh yeah, I totally get that. It is obvious the RFK has brain damage which affects his ability to think clearly. This is specific to him doing hard drugs for decades.

  When oxygen to the brain is habitually suppressed, brain damage can occur. That’s not fatalist, it’s just reality.

  That doesn’t imply addiction is a moral failing. It’s a disease, and diseases can have permanent effects.

      You called it fatalistic bullshit to say RFK jr. has permanent brain damage…

        No no. I was calling the logic bullshit. The reasoning was bad, not the conclusion. Learn to interpret text.
