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

    His mind is sharp,

    For his age

    But even if Biden is the sharpest 80 year old on the planet, that doesn’t mean he’s competent to be president.

    Somewhere is the world’s smartest 4 year old, I wouldn’t want him flying a plane.

    Contrast this with Trump,

    Crazy thought:

    There’s more than one person in America not qualified to be president…

    Which is why Biden is no longer the presidential candidate. And trump can’t stop shitting himself in fear from running against anyone besides Biden or Hillary.

    I don’t say I should play QB in the NFL because I’m in better shape than trump is. Biden isn’t capable of being an effective president just because trump is less capable.

      You shouldn’t play in the NFL because you are too busy moving goalposts.

      You posted

      It’s fucking shameful people want to act like Biden is still mentally capable.

      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”.
