Biden clearly has declined mentally compared to even four years ago. This shouldn’t be up for debate. And yes, it is likely a product of his extremely advanced age. It makes sense that his team wanted him to do the debate. They told themselves he’d overcome his limitations in the moment. He didn’t.

The idea that his mental decline isn't relevant because it's due to old age is very weird to me.

Eh, do you really have the training to say this? Biden’s “lapses” are/were mixing up words and losing a train of thought (before returning) when trying to cram 3 or 4 points in a 60 second answer. Hes not talking for minutes at a time *completely* confused and talking in circles like Trump.

Yet literally the following morning he had a rally in NC and was doing quite well (with a minor cough). Idk maybe it says something about him having been ran down the night before maybe too much prep and presidential stuff and not enough rest.

He did quite well at the state of the union only a few months ago so I don’t think it was unrealistic to think he could have done much better than he actually did.

Historians of the future, assuming there are any, will hopefully have access to memos and internal conversations explaining how this happened. Lack of an audience. Cold medicine perhaps. But by far the biggest factor was that he is old as fuck, and is declining mentally.

Your ability to diagnose mental decline greatly outstrips your expertise in making that diagnosis. Real experts in cognitive ability and aging know better. www.publicnotice.co/p/biden-deba...
