I hate doing this. I hate repeatedly writing about the obvious and undeniable fact that an old man is exhibiting obvious and undeniable symptoms of incipient dementia. It isn’t fun, and it doesn’t feel good. But the alternative is lying down and allowing the Democratic party and its allied media to gaslight people into believing it’s not a thing, as they are doing currently.

The Caitlin Johnstone article this links to provides over 30 examples of Biden’s dementia.

I am conflicted about submitting this quicklink.

On the one hand, I don't want to help Trump by trashing Biden. On the other hand, if Biden's candidacy is doomed, this info needs to be be known sooner rather than later.

Aside from Biden's possible dementia, there's also the substantial problem of his history of bad votes.

On the other hand, even Bernie has electability problems, because of his (foolish) decision to call himself a democratic socialist when he's really just a social democrat. Paul Krugman, Noam Chomsky, Cornel West and others have pointed this out. That huuuuuuuuuuge mistake may doom his campaign too.

Bernie has the best policies and the best history of votes (though not perfect). I'm not convinced he can beat Trump, who has lots of money behind him (thanks to GOP tax cuts for the 1%), compliant courts, and the vast power of Fox News and right wing media behind him.

Watching Biden is like being in a cave with a flashlight whose batteries are dying.

trump will humiliate Biden unmercifully on the debate stage.

How can his wife let him go through with this?

It's actually cruel.

Reply to 911TRUTH:

A friend and I were discussing this very aspect last night. Assuming Jill loves Joe (and to my mind, it's questionable), how could she support such a sad display of her husband? Politics aside, that man is so visibly vulnerable. When he crumbles, it will be terrible.

I would ask the same question of Jane Sanders, minus the sadness. After Bernie's heart attack, did she encourage her husband to drop out and stay home for rest and cardiac conditioning? Possibly. I'm sure he's a determined and strong-willed man, but, sheesh! What's with these women?

Very true about Bernie's wife, too. But at least he's not a babbling idiot.

I think we underestimate how the "anyone-but-Sanders" movement needs to, and will, simply discount this. "He may not be up to the job, but we love and need him."

Remember Ronald Reagan?

Obviously the elites are pushing Biden so Trump can win.

Both women have a lot on the ball, Nels. As do you. I learn a lot here, and hope I sometimes contribute something of value, too.

I've been telling my friends for months the Dems want Trump to win. Well"? Hmm?

"Fascinating, eye-opening, and extraordinary, Rob Kall's Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution explores the emerging paradigm of our age -- bottom-up thinking -- connecting an enormous range of disciplines and topics from systems, chaos, and complexity theories to the evolving role of technology in our lives. Not merely a cogent exposition of contemporary thinking, however, Bottom Up extrapolates from abstract ideas to derive practical, everyday steps we can take to improve our chances of global survival, peace, and prosperity. Following Rob's lead, we can change habits as individuals to deepen our connection with others across the planet."
