    @eldersea I'd never want to say that if you're disabled or have chronic health issues, you can't serve in government. Only that if your disabilities or chronic health issues *directly* impact your ability to govern, it is relevant to make mitigations for that impact available, and for voters to be able to demand that those mitigations are used.

    @eldersea E.g. if your health issues might render you entirely unable to serve (I say as someone with chronic exhaustion due to long COVID), then having a clear criteria as to when someone else can take over, and making sure voters know who that person would be? Yeah, that's a reasonable mitigation, I think!
