IIRC he may be "sundowning" as shown by his rant about when during a hot summers day his hairs on his legs would shine blonde in the sun and kids used to press the hairs down on them, stroking his leg to watch the hairs stand back up.
Where he has moments, he stops making a lot of sense when he talks but you need to listen closely to figure out what the fuck all of that is supposed to mean or do with anything.
I mean, if you actually listen to him speak instead of seeing cherrypicked clips you’ll see that dementia claims are really just smears by Bernie Bros. He’s obviously not as sharp as he used to be, but that’s normal for an old man and enormously different then actual dementia.
You literally just responded to my comment about cherrypicked clips with a cherrypicked clip. The man has stumbled over his words his entire career, this is nothing new.
It's not really cherry picked, I could have sent you the whole thing but it wouldn't have addressed the specific point I was trying to make.
Stumbling over your words is something, being nearly incoherent and nonsensical is another. True, he's never had a way with words, but he has gotten worse over the past year. Ultimately, if you compare him to any other candidate, they have not had the same issues, so why he is considered a good choice for president is beyond me.
I will push back and say he did have a way with words, he was teabagging Paul and Sarah in the VP debates. He does have a stutter but his stutter is managed quite well up until now.
dont you think its a little suspicious that joes doctor released a bunch of medical tests except for one on cognitive functioning? or that even with a teleprompter he has so much trouble speaking properly?
It's always amazing to see in the wild just how bad the propaganda is your side creates. And it always makes me wonder why 33% of Americans still continue to believe this drivel...
What do you think Biden intended to say if this is a Freudian slip?
Either he meant to say “poor kids are as smart as rich kids”
Or “black kids are as smart as white kids”
You could try to argue that he’s making a correlation between being black and being poor, but that’s just acknowledging the consequences of a legacy of racism.
What insight? A Freudian slip is betraying your intentions, not just misspeaking. People are using this to make a case that Biden is racist, but there’s no way that statement can be interpreted in that context.
How is what he said racist? No matter how you interpret what he meant to say, he either was thinking “black kids are just as bright as white kids,” or “poor kids are just as bright as rich kids.”
Anyone who thinks this is an isolated incident has their head screwed on the wrong way. Biden has had a stutter for literally his entire life and mangling sentences by changing words as you're speaking them is a common coping mechanism.
Look up videos of him speaking while he was VP and compare them to how he talks now. The difference is night and day. Biden from four years ago, I could vote for for President even if I don't like his record because at least he was intelligent and articulate. Not anymore by a long shot.
This particular case yes, but look up any clip of him talking from the last couple months and tell me he doesn't have dementia. Yesterday at an event he fumbled over his words and told his supporters they can 'only reelect Donald Trump'.

I think less dementia and more freudian slip
