    I’m not a fan of him, but there’s absolutely no evidence Biden has dementia. He’s got a speech impediment and you’re kinda a dick for calling that dementia.

    Dick.

      This. The dude may be old but he’s still pretty sharp and showing good health, all things considered.

      Right wing media loves to take any stutter or blank stare into the top story though. Despite that, I’m sure that there’s a hell of a lot more “senior moment” footage for their guy. It’s pretty telling when they’ve got not much more than schoolyard name calling and rumors to really sling at him though. Can’t fight on Biden on policy, and he’s practically made of teflon.

      The real sad part is that it works.

        Yes. Albeit, I never mentioned anything about speech. It’s a bit weird that they immediately jumped to that. I’m mostly mentioning the fact that his senior moments severely outweigh other presidents. I mean, come on. The guy is 81.

        I just don’t get how people are driven to pick the lesser of two evils when there’s much better options out there.

          Because spoiler candidates are responsible for the downfall of the earth.

          I hold Ralph Nader personally accountable for the state of the climate today. Bush 43 won Florida by a margin of fewer than 600 votes. Nader had 95,000.

          I was 15 in 2000. If I was 18, I probably would’ve voted for Nader, and felt like I was doing the right thing. At 38, I realize how naive that was.

      He has a card for meeting with ambassadors which literally says, in short form, “sit down. Say hello. Answer questions. Leave”.

      He forgot how to stand on a bike. Hell, he forgets how to walk up stairs sometimes. Even walking on the ground, he sometimes ignores secret service instructions. He’s 81. 81. And I’m getting flak for calling him out?

      I can get people defending Greg abbot for being disabled, because that’s not the point of his dilemma. This is different, because he is literally too old to be fit to serve.

      Edit: I also never said anything about speech, where were you getting that from?

        Everything you pointed out is extremely dishonest at best. You act like I haven’t seen the same footage. You’re a liar and you have an agenda. I wasn’t born yesterday. Good try, though.
