The last words my WWII veteran grandfather told me before he passed away were, "it's ok to elect a fascist as long as the other guy is slightly older." (lemmy.world)

What health issues? I mean I know he's old, but what exactly are you seeing that suggests he's not capable of running his administration?

He's been misspeaking and making gaffes since long before I voted for him in 2020, so that's not new, nor a sign of things getting worse, it's just getting more attention than it did before.

On the other hand, we've seen how he is as President, and he's done a very good job. Obviously I'd prefer someone more progressive and who will stand up more to Israel, but his track record has been commendable and productive. I have no reason to expect any worse now.

I think this is a good point that was missed. You know what was really shocking when Biden was elected - we heard nothing about him. No stupid comments every day, no stupid decisions, no sharpie or nukes on hurricanes, or upside down bibles. Just President doing president things - we heard more ex president than president.

Was he perfect - no. But fuck was it a refreshing change.

Yeah it feels like people are eating up right wing lies tbh.

Like he's definitely old, but there aren't any signs of serious cognitive decline.

I've witnessed up close the ends all 4 of my grandparents and 2 great grandparents. You can absolutely tell when someone's mind is going. It is not subtle.

My nan went in her early 90s and up until the last couple years she was completely with it.
