Tired Of People Overblowing Minor Or Non-Existent Gaffes, Joe Biden Makes Major Gaffe By Making Up Military Story
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
That's what this thread is about. Why do you want evidence of his senility repressed? Surely the general electorate will make the right decision, since only a vocal minority can see the obvious problem with this video. I mean, it's just a gaffe. Obviously it doesn't effect his chances.
Huh. Common sense tells me that either misremembering or misrepresenting something so convincingly, to the point of saying "In my word as a Biden", is troubling when you're trying to win over voters.
Wait. So those things happened but in three different instances yet Biden just mashed them together?
Man that is funny.
Man that is funny.
How is anything supposed to be "ensured" if nobody first acknowledges that there's a serious problem?
this is a silly pathetic video that proves nothing and is just a desperate attempt to hurt Biden that will go nowhere. anyone can see this is just a gaffe, you pathetic echo chamber posters.
but it's also a dangerous video poisoning the electorate against Biden and if you share it you're basically a Trump supporter

Never said I wanted it repressed. As I said in my edit;
The cognitive dissonance about Joe being prone to gaffes is quite hilarious though. He's been no different throughout his entire political career, now we have a bunch of armchair doctors bullshitting their way around with false diagnoses commenting on his neurological state and throwing out disgusting accusations. Keep on keeping on. Looks real good.
How come Joe's error prone misrememberings and gaffes weren't a major issue when he was tapped for VP amongst the voting electorate?
The serious problem being that Joe Biden has been prone to these mental miscues going back decades?
What? To many they think Biden is too old to run, same as Sanders. This just reinforces that belief.
Y'see, the man's so electable that you'd basically have to be stupid to question his ability to appeal to the electorate, but by pointing out lapses in cognitive ability that he made in front of hundreds of people, you're pretty much damning the party to a repeat of 2016. Because you're the one eroding his electability. Not him. Nary ye mind that we haven't even hit the primary.
I'd like to call this line of thought Beltway Brainworms.
sure
well this time it can be because of his senility 🎉
"Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their concerns.
"We can lose a vice president," he said. "We can't lose many more of these kids. Not a joke."
I'm sorry I'm fucking dying here the whole story is just hilarious to me. It's truly Joe taking the risk under massive arm guard to award this young man for 15 minutes and fly the fuck away on a helicopter. He's like trump lite truly one of the greatest Americans to ever live, putting himself at risk lol.

Absolutely perfect thread title, I really have to try hard not to go at Biden defenders/ "what's the big deal" people
Wait is ERA unrepresentative or are they too influential and gonna blow it in the general for Joe
Also I've had family members with dementia and uh, this is exactly how it manifested. He's got it and so does Trump.
The key part is always acknowledging that his electibility is so fragile that a forum post on ResetEra.com could destroy it, because obviously only the Era echo chamber is talking about it, but then also insisting he'll be the nominee.
Every gaffe is more ammo for Trump. Trump is a bully.
I want you all to imagine a scenario and then just marinate on it for a bit. Biden and Trump are on that debate stage. Biden does a gaffe. Any gaffe. Trump latches on and relentlessly bullies him about it, right there on live TV. Seriously, all decorum is out the window nowadays. Trump would outright make fun of him for it. Biden wouldn't be able to defend himself because he's used to traditional rules, Trump would then control the floor.
Bernie is a bulldog. Warren has power and takes no shit. They're quick on their feet. Biden is not. And that really fucking matters when it comes to the debate stage. His polls and electability will absolutely vanish if he goes toe to toe with Trump.

also there's this weird thing going on where people have known like one person with a cognitive disorder and assume that since Biden isn't acting exactly like their end stage grandma, he must be fine.
they're just gaffes
they're just gaffes
This is a choice for voters to make, not the candidates. And I can see Biden is in bad shape, your shaming attempt ain't working.
What's Biden been up to the past 3 years? Maybe there wasn't much that stimulated and exercised his mental acuity. With the brain, if you don't use it, you could lose it. Plus his age and what must've been intense grief over losing his son: those are all risks for some cognitive softening.
Every vote matters. I'd hope you'd understand that.
As for the latter part of your post, so have I. And what Joe is displaying is not remotely comparable to what I've experienced.
Does it occur to you that dementia isn't a single condition and that Joe may indeed be displaying symptoms that are familiar to some of us?
Your assumptions here make you look like an intolerant asshole. Don't pretend to know me or others who are acutely aware of what dementia and other cognitive disorders entail and have had to suffer seeing loved ones go through it.
I'm aware. I also know that the hyperbole and overreaction to diagnose Joe when he's displayed the same traits for 30 years is ridiculously shortsighted. Particular symptoms of a disorder isn't enough evidence to claim someone has dementia.
But if you want to continue stanning for armchair doctors who are diagnosing Joe with scant evidence to go on, as any neurologist would tell you, go ahead.

Does anyone actually enjoy being around you in real life?
is this armchair psychoanalysis? from you of all people
Just an observation that's hard to escape. Don't flatter yourself.
An observation that's hard to escape, like a man with a history of multiple aneurysms completely fabricating a story in front of a crowd
How many more slip ups does the man have to make before he truly drops out of the race?
30 years? Why, that would put that almost exactly the time he had two brain surgeries!
I think you've cracked the code.

Cheers thanks for the permission.
Yeah I think he's not all there and is struggling, I don't know how long it's been this way, it certainly seems worse than the last time he ran in 2012, but as you point out it's been like this for 30 years since his multiple brain hemorrhages, and I think nominating him will be a disaster because Trump, the GOP and right wing media are going to go in hard on this.
If I don't like something I just move on.....mods seem fine with threads, just like they're fine with threads about the little things trump does. As a POC I'd like to see every little racist "gaffe" he has. And him being old means I wanna see every gaffe he makes. You can only fuck ups so much that it becomes a pattern.
Once everyone who isn't Bernie, Warren, and Harris drop out, the true battle will begin. Biden will have Bernie, Warren, and Harris all attacking him at different times. He is going to be tremendously overwhelmed. Speak nothing of his debates with Trump, which will be a bloodbath. Biden needs to step down. This is a war he can't win.
You can actually explain and justify all of this as errors, memory, poor staffing, workload and exhausted advisors.
A lot of it is media narrative driven by clicks and expectations.
But it's not good enough.
There's no need to compare him to Trump. Obviously he's still infinitely better.
But it's not good enough.
And we should stop hiring 76 year old men for anything pivotal.

Damn, I must be hella tired because I read that as Joe Buden at first.
Anyway, I just wish joe would just drop out already.
