This is not a post that I want to write, but I think its extremely important. I recently made a post about why Bloomberg is a horrible candidate, and I still think he would be totally unelectable. But in the face of possibly having Joe Biden as our nominee instead, I think this is a must-have discussion for Democrats.
Recently, I commented that Joe Biden might have dementia and my post was removed. Look, nobody likes to talk about that and its not something I would typically feel comfortable bringing up. But its not concern trolling. Its genuine concern. Even though I often disagree with him policy-wise, I think Joe Biden is a pretty decent person and politician. In the VP debates in 2008 and 2012, he was incredibly quick on his feet and very intelligent. In 2016, I sincerely think he would've beat Donald Trump. Not anymore. Here’s an article titled, “Donald Trump’s Son Accused Joe Biden of Having Dementia; Twitter Claims its Potus.” www.ibtimes.com/...
Here’s the thing. Donald Trump’s base doesn't care if Donald Trump has dementia. They’ll vote for him no matter what and they dont believe a word we say anyway. However, do you all remember the nonstop talk about Hillary’s emails? The issue barely mattered, and yet it covered the news cycle for the entire race. Imagine having a candidate with DEMENTIA. Imagine that being the narrative. Donald Trump and the Republicans have no shame at all. Donald Trump is already out there saying Joe Biden belongs in a nursing home. Imagine a nickname like “Dementia Joe”. That makes “Crooked Hillary” look like child’s play. If we nominate Joe, HE WILL LOSE. My grandmother had dementia and I often had to take care of her until she started hospice. I’ve already seen this. Joe’s incoherence and confusion is not his stutter and they're not gaffes. It’s dementia.
Look, even if you don't like Bernie, even if you hate his online supporters (including me), even if you’re concerned about his physical health (understandable), he seems to be in perfect health now and has a much better chance to beat Trump. He’s the only other candidate*. If electability is your only concern, for the love of God, please dont vote for Joe. Vote for Bernie.
You dont have to like this guy either, I imagine Kulinski wouldn't be popular on this site because he can come across as a dick sometimes. That’s beside the point. But watch this mashup of Joe Biden. It’s a 10 minute video, but the mashup starts at 1:52.
