His speech impediment is bullshit. Where was it when he was Obama's VP? Where was it in the Senate?

Still with him. He only had to talk like 10 times a year then though so it wasn't as noticeable

I grew up with a stutter. I still have it if I don't watch the pace of my speech. My uncle is the same way, but a more severe case. This is not someone with a stutter:

What it is, is someone who is not dealing with senility.

You sent a highlight of him talking in the past and want to compare it to him talking now like it's a fair fight?

Look. We know he's old. Nobody is arguing against that. Is his stuttering worse now with his age, yes. Unfortunately. But his gaffs while speaking are not going to distract me too much from what he's actually doing

My point is that you can't conceal his obvious senility by calling it a stutter. Yes, Trump needs to be prevented from gaining power, and were Biden to win a second term, the next four years would be better for the universe than if Trump were to win.

Regardless, it is looking exceedingly unlikely that Biden will be President on Jan 21, 2025, so he should step aside for someone who has a realistic prayer of actually being President on January 21.
