Biden is definitely confused, but he doesn't have the spirit.
He keeps ranting about how he wishes republicans we're more like Nixon, Reagan, and HW Bush...
I know you don't have 50 years of Senate experience, but you understand they weren't great guys with integrity...
Right? You get that right?
Please tell me people under 70 don't think those three were fine now.
I know the Overton window keeps getting dragged right by neoliberals, but have they really convinced people those three had integrity and everything was fine back then?
They weren't calling Biden confused, they were calling the commenter confused.
Biden may be old but he is clearly perfectly capable of doing the job and will most likely be just as capable again.
Saying Biden is "perfectly capable"...
Have you watched him speak?
Like, he doesn't do it often, and for good reason, but the only way someone can say what you just said without intentionally lying, is if they're ignoring their eyes and ears and believing his staff that as soon as a camera isn't pointed at him, Biden suddenly becomes half his age.
If I link any recent video of Biden acting confused, you're going to claim it's a one time thing. No matter how many videos I link, you'll keep claiming it only happens in every video I link.
So how about this?
Why don't you help me and everyone else feel comfortable with Biden?
Link a single video of him as president speaking for more than 3 minutes without fucking something up?
He's the freaking US President, if you can't find a video 3 minutes long of him not getting confused, maybe that means he is confused all the time, the admin is hiding him, and all their claims of what he's like is bullshit.
Now keep in mind you're not just saying he's "good enough" at 81, you're saying he'll stay "perfectly capable" until 85.
I have, yeah. He has a speech impediment. He's had it his entire life. That's not confusion.
As someone with an actual speech impediment I've just started blocking people who say a childhood stutter can reappear 60 years later and cause you to mix up names and just go blank, but never actually stutter.
I just can't believe anyone used logic to get there.
I can't believe you've never mixed up names, gone blank, or had something re-appear in a high-stress moment of your life.
I cna't believe that you can watch him from 20 years ago, and not see exactly the same kind of verbal gaffes then that he has now. But I guess if you only see what you want to see, then that's on you.
