Why are you so sure he doesn’t have it?

Huh??

He needs to be “on” too often to trust to chance that he’s never going to do this again.

Like the 4 years in office haven’t been enough. Did the debate wipe your memory or what? That’s so cynical.

It had nothing to do with him speaking.

It had everything to do with him speaking. Remember this from not too long ago? Even if this “social media team” coopted it, it had been around and memed about before that. Just because his aides did the awkward fellow kids salute doesn’t mean they’re the ones behind it.

candidates need to be interactive and ready.

This candidate is already in office and doing presidential things every single day.

You haven’t had to have frequent contact with an elderly relative have you?

You don’t know me and you’re already talking down to me like I haven’t had that terrible life experience. I wouldn’t be so confident if I were you. Especially when you say things like “That sure looked consistent with early dementia.” Like, bruh, you either know dementia from serving at a mental health center enough to diagnose people by their gait and to scold people off about it, or you don’t.

Maybe if I bold it you’ll answer the question. Why are you sure he doesn’t have dementia? You said he definitively doesn’t have it.

That’s a “how dare you”, not a no. Anyone saying that an old person will be the same one year to the next hasn’t experienced that they very much can change over the span of a year. Like, that’s a crazy statement to make with regards to the aging of the elderly.

Oh, so you’re being nasty now. Ok. Because **obviously ** my confusion is about why you think it’s ok to be diagnosing people from your armchair and pretending that’s perfectly fine and not a completely unhinged thing to say as it shows your utter lack of tact and knowledge about the medical field. In short my “Huh??” means “Are you nuts?” Does that answer your question?

Like, that’s a crazy statement to make with regards to the aging of the elderly.

The only crazy statement I see is accusing Biden of dementia because you don’t like him. And you’re trying to bat on both sides. Like, to be so adamant that the disease progression is so fast-paced that it’s evident within a year, and yet there have been no definitive signs is trying to have your cake and eat it too. Try again when we have a diagnosis and it’s not you just spit-balling and trolling.

You’re literally diagnosing him! “He doesn’t have dementia” is a diagnosis! And yeah, you definitely don’t have experience with aging. People change. Not all of them change fast, but that’s not what you said. You said it’s just a year, he must be the same. And that’s just not how it works.

But I think you’re an ignorant troll, you think I’m a mean troll. I don’t think either of use has any hope of satisfying the other, so respond or not, it doesn’t matter.
