I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

Biden just said he doesn't believe he's behind in the race. That's his plan to pull ahead. Just say "fake polls."

Trump is a compulsive liar, harasser, career criminal, Russian Asset, racist convicted felon. He is a sociopath who caused the deaths of over 1 million Americans. He is committed to decimating the field you work in. never had any cognition. Nor do his supporters. I’m never Trump. You do you.

Even if you’re correct, what matters in an election are people’s perceptions. The massive swathes of voters who are convinced Biden is unfit for the job aren’t going to be convinced by anything other than a non-geriatric candidate.

I used to think that as well... until the debate. These were not physical ailments. He literally did not know what question was asked nor what he was answering.

Neither is a plausible candidate for the Presidency. The US can survive Biden because he will defer to the bureacrats who actually run the country, same as Ronald Reagan did. The US can not survive the grifter Trump.

Some of the panicking comes across as middle-aged guys who haven't necessarily come to terms with their own mortality

That's not a distinction. Trump never had reality testing and cognitive decline can look like a lot of things.

Also pretty much ALL the comparative analysis I’m seeing is focusing exclusively on superficial appearances and how loud people talk. NOTHING about actual words and actions. You know, the things that MATTER. This is shallow and dumb and I’ve stopped taking anyone seriously if that’s their focus.

My 93 yo grandma is far better at expressing thoughts than Biden, and a good woman, and also should not be running for president at one of the most critical times in our nation’s history

I would have 100% agreed with you before the debate. Watching the debate….well, if you’ve lost a loved one to dementia, it felt uncomfortably familiar - like the decline has started. Hopefully this is just typical age related decline. A full neuropsych eval would tell the story.

Would be great to have a candidate who attacks Trump on his fitness for office without being credibly doubted themselves.
