Biden's Cognitive Abilities - How Do We Lay It to Rest?

[Sugarcoated]

12. Me: I admit he's not as sharp as he used to be

but he seems fine in his videos, no "dementia", obviously knows his shit.

In that last primary debate Biden did very well. I'd ask: What's wrong with the way Joe sounded at that debate? He's up there age wise, but just because a man is talking and thinking a bit slower doesn't mean he's in "cognitive decline". We should value wisdom, we're gonna need it.

Response to Trumpers: Pounding the "dementia" line of attack lowers expectations and that's to Biden's advantage. When he speaks on camera, sounds smart, knows his shit, maybe not as sharp, a little stutter here and there, searching for a word, etc. Going too hard on the "cognitive decline" line of attack actually lowers expectations, helps perceptions, lowers the bar to hurdle. Remember how that was the case with Dubya and it vexed and frustrated us that the bar was low for him. It was Democrats who actually lowered it.

Lastly I'd say: Supreme Court and the environment. There's a list of Biden's latest policies, some of Bernie's that he's taken on that I posted on FB. Most of my Bernie friends bit and were lightly engaged, asked questions. He's also going to surround himself with good people is another point.

Some won't get it and it's best to drop a "he's better than Trump," or "Think SC", "Imagine four more years of the antichrist", plant a seed, light touch. Most will come around to it in their own time and the ones that won't, nothing you say will change that.
