Fair point - except it’s hyperbole, not disengenuity.

Biden at his dullest is sharper than Trump’s sharpest.

If Biden has dementia, then so does Trump. And that’s worse bc his followers are demented in spirit.

Unlike the dems.

Trumpets need to be bullied. They’re gonna let Trump dominate them if no one else does

Paradox of Tolerance, motherfucker.

To me, it looked like the problem was not his brain, it was between his brain and his mouth. His brain knew what it wanted to say, his mouth took the long road to get there. And when you only have a minute or two to make your point, every second counts.

I am not saying that to try and gloss over the problem. But I’ve watched older relatives succumb to Alzheimer’s and dementia over the years, and this is not it. It’s different. It’s still bad for any older person, though, much less a President.

You are correct, of course. And that’s why this movement to get him to step aside is gaining so much traction. The more I see key Democrats defending him in public, the more I think the private conversations are getting heated.

There is so much riding on this election that we can’t just call a mulligan and say “we laid an egg this time, we’ll try again in 2028”.

You forgot Putins love child

Cardiovascular disease is a bitch, eh?

Well like I’ve said in one of these threads, it really was the perfect storm for him. That was about as bad as he has looked and sounded in his almost 4 year term. I saw video of him at a campaign stop the next day and it was like night and day. He was still old, and still had a cold, but he looked more alive - for lack of a better word.

But I 100% agree that the party’s only choice shouldn’t be a rich white senior citizen. The minimum age requirement is 35, and we should be shooting for closer to that, rather than well past “retirement age”.

You claimed Biden “clearly has dementia” which either means you’re lying because you know he doesn’t, or you don’t know what dementia is. I’ve had plenty of moments like he had in this debate but even as a young neurotypical child, and most people have. Sometimes under pressure people lose their train of thought. Obviously we want a president that is not prone to that, but the other option is someone of basically the same age but is additionally a huge piece of shit
