Biden at the Democratic convention was unrecognisable from his disastrous debate - eviltoast

Biden’s voice was strong and clear, and the crowd was far warmer to him as an outgoing president

    Then I posted about how he is mentally still there, but still shouldn’t be President. Now it turns out you agree! Awesome.

    No. You think he’s “still there” because trump is worse…

    By that logic even people with full blown dementia are “still there” because they’re better than trump.

    It’s a ridiculous bar to set for “still there”. And if our only bar is “better than trump” it essentially means there’s no bar.

    I conceded that if you’re only comparing Biden to other people in their 80s, he doesn’t seem bad either. But that’s because there really aren’t any 80 years who are “still there”. The few who are most capable still, are the ones quickest to admit they’re not the same as they were 40 or even 20 years ago

    Anyone that’s 80 and honestly believes age isn’t effecting them, is no longer “still there”.

    That’s just how the human brain works, which essentially is “not forever”.
