That’s weird. I thought they said it was because he had a cold.
Why is every doom and gloom political post always from a less than 1 month old account? Suspicious that.
I recently switched to Lemmy from Reddit. You can find a much longer post history from me on Reddit. Same username.
I just saw one of OPs posts from 3 days ago. They were one of those people saying Biden was committing genocide.
So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism. The “genocide Joe” label wasn’t sticking so they changed to the new one.
Safe to block.
They were one of those people saying Biden was committing genocide.
Yes, I’ve been saying that for 9 months now. Because it’s true.
So they are just anti-Biden period and switched to a different criticism.
I don’t care about Biden being old. In fact, I think it’s sad that people care about his age more than they care about him committing genocide.
This post is about the Democrats being liars, not about Biden’s age.
There’s literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.
Even so, this ain’t Reddit. You need to go ahead and learn that right now.
You’re new here, and you’re posting stuff that opposes the only person standing between America and a rapid fall into violent authoritarianism. Welcome to Lemmy and don’t carry water for fascists if you want to have a good time.
Look, I’ll vote for Biden this fall, because really, voting blue is the only serious option. And I’d be all for Weekend At Bernie’s the entire 4 years of his second term; there is a chain of succession and he’ll have people around him that are competent. I’m not worried about that. Anything else is helping donnie.
But c’mon. Is Biden the only candidate that the Democratic Party really has? Can he actually win? After that performance?

My profile on Reddit says “I’m done with Reddit. You can find me on Lemmy.World. Same username.”
called you got old
even with elite healthcare your mental capacity still declines
no denying that fact or getting around it
Biden got old about a decade ago. The man’s 81 years old. The US was still cleaning up the rubble from Pearl Harbor when he was born
People are acting like the job is easy.
But reports are coming out Biden is always like this in the evening…
Which is why we call it Sundowning, and it’s a normal part of aging.
He’s signing up to be the president though, traveling the globe is part of that, and emergencies might happen after 8pm.
He’s just not able to handle it, which is fine. He’s 81 and I’m like 99% he’d be out oldest president.
The big problem is his refusal to admit this is happening, again, completely normal. But not acceptable for the leader of America
Which is why we call it Sundowning, and it’s a normal part of aging.
I’m not even pushing some crazy conspiracy theories but just clarifying that sundowning is NOT a normal part of aging. Sundowning is only a symptom of dementia that doesn’t affect healthy old folks.
It happens to everyone eventually.
Either you die, or you live long enough for this to be a concern.
Dementia is more prevalent at older ages. About 3% of adults ages 70 to 74 had dementia in 2019, compared with 22% of adults ages 85 to 89 and 33% of adults ages 90 and older.6

And in case you haven’t heard, being president tends to speed up the normal effects of aging due to stress.
Biden has spent 12 years in the White House, and half a century in federal politics.
Like, this ain’t a binary thing, it accumulates over time pretty much constantly.
And Biden is 100% showing signs that are 100% normal for his age.
I mean, this is the American healthcare system, do you think those numbers are actual rates or more people in their 70s and 80s can’t afford treatment anyways and go undiagnosed?
And sundowning is something that happens prior to a dementia diagnosis…
It’s literally one of the first warning signs that often goes ignored and rationalized for years or even a decade before diagnosis happens. Lots of times there’s never a diagnosis, because we just accept it as normal at that age.
“It was his stutter.”
“He had a cold.”
“He overprepared and got flustered.”
“A malicious actor used an Inator on him.”
“He was jet lagged”
I wonder what the next excuse is gonna be.
Joe is just old.
This is why people shouldn’t need to have to choose between two 80 year old candidates
The presidency requires a lot of travel. If your performance and capabilities are significantly affected by jet lag, you probably shouldn’t be the president of a large and powerful nation. I imagine Trump will be affected just as much by jet lag as well if he were elected.
