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)

Biden's recent flubs have spooked everyonethat much.

A lot of people have a short memory. Biden's verbal gaffes were well-known during his time as Obama's VP, not even mentioning before that. If anything, he's gotten better at speaking.

People should be paying attention to his actions and accomplishments as President. We have the last four years to look at, and while his handling of Israel leaves a lot to be desired, he's made great strides in the areas of workers rights, climate, student loans, and inflation.

Calling his latest gaffes anything new is just buying into propaganda. I have yet to see any legitimate criticism over his health or ability to run an administration.

There's gaffes and then there's stumble mumbling your way through an entire debate.

It doesn't matter if it's all propoganda, if enough people bought it then we gotta move fast to patch the hole before the whole damn ship sinks.

I think that's an exaggeration. 85% of the time what he said was correct and made sense. He got flustered a few times and babbled. I ideally want a president that doesn't do that very often, but I HATE the idea that if you misspeak then you're incompetent. I can DO things much better than I can describe them.

Yes, most likely you can, doesn't change that not being able to describe them well is going to make others question if you're the right choice to be in charge.

Yeah, it's ableist bullshit, no, calling that out on everyone who's worrying is not gonna help.
