I've wondered since Biden threw his hat in the ring...

[Tink41]

I was truly curious what the Republicans would dig up to smear him. And when people in my circles started parroting the "dementia" diagnosis, I couldn't quite figure out, how Biden was trusted and "elected" 2x as Vice President. I mean he was our Vice President for 8 years!!
What more could there be? How could you be OK with him for 8yrs then suddenly he's no good? Obviously the guy was more than vetted, more experience etc. I can't wrap my head around it. My only saving grace is "they" couldn't come up with anything more than
memory loss, and something his son, who is fully grown lives his own life, may have done fairly recently. Honestly if someone came knocking on my door to address something my grown child had done, and they expected me to account for it?? Short of murder, not my
problem!

1. he developed dementia the minute he announced he was running for president, see.

of course, they weren't ok with him being vice president, it's just that they were way more not ok with obama being president.

3. No No

I meant, Democrats that I know, questioned his worth as a candidate. Like, what? It was only 4 short years ago. Hello!!??

7. haven't heard democrats complaining, except maybe to rehash the primary.

in terms of the general, we're comparing biden to a certifiable lunatic, so any vague suspicion of mental decline is nothing compared to the nutcase donnie is.

2. No offense at all intended, but I think you're making a common mistake: you are trying

to MAKE SENSE out of the words and actions of Trump and his cultists.

Unlike most of us, they do not feel any shame when they tell transparent lies or insist that absurdities are perfectly reasonable.

If something is likely to help Trump or hurt his opposition, they consider it "fair" and "right".

4. None taken

These are actually Democrats I'm referring to questioning if they "could" vote for Biden

5. Anyone who's paying attentions suspects The Spanish Inquisition* and The Ratfucking

reTHUGS. We have more to do than just get out and vote.

6. They chose dementia as the smear because they could manipulate

the videos where he stuttered and framed the narrative to support that lie. Then repeat that lie ad nauseum until the kool-aid drinkers were drunk on it.....

8. I see how you worked those into your statement there.

9. I was a day one contributor to Joe and got to meet him at some fundraisers

I never understood the dementia attacks. Joe is a very nice man in person. I was taking a selfie with him and he took my iphone from me and did a better job than I could do.

I believe that many of these dementia attacks were disquised attacks on Joe's stutter.

10. I was a Warren/Bernie fan

Having said that I have/had complete faith in Biden. There is no part of me that would vote any other way. My livelihood requires it.
I was just confused as to how this goes from A-OK Vice President to someone Democrats couldn't support. Bewildering
