I'm the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks

My view of Biden’s mental state is colored by my own experience with my father’s dementia that was happening alongside Biden’s administration. What I saw in Biden, mirrored my father’s decline minus about 18 months.

We took the car keys away from my dad when he was measurably more mentally capable than Biden appeared to be in 2022. I worried every single day between when I recognized the signs and when he left office about the dangers of having someone in his state as the presumed most powerful person in the world. What I do know is that whoever was running the country for the last 3 years, it wasn't someone elected to do it.

Not voting is a vote. It’s applying my opinion that there was not a reasonable candidate worthy of my vote.

This is the exact same thing my father said before Biden stepped down, only instead it was my grandmother. Suddenly everyone’s an expert in mental decline and that was worrying for voters with Biden to stutter infrequently but with logical talking points. However it was acceptable for Trump to stand there and literally drool out of his mouth with nonsensical hate. That is a reason to not vote is unfounded medical hysteria and lies. Something you have no proof for other than your own bias and stigma on mental health as you have stated.

Joe Biden was running the country, he signed bills, gave speeches, and helped restore our economy. Because you chose to only read headlines and drink the “Joe is practically dead” kool-aid. That is how you led yourself to the lies and not voting.

Not voting is not a vote in a national election system. It is a vote for your own smugness. It is opting out of voting because you’re looking for a reason to stay neutral instead of a reason apply your opinion in a meaningful way.

That is what makes your opinion today meaningless because you voted for meaninglessness.

Got it. You disregard the opinions of people who have seen dementia first hand in favor of a DNC talking point. “Don’t trust your lying eyes! Biden is as sharp as a tack”.

I know what I saw, and I am sure your dad did too. I spent years as a caregiver to an Alzheimers patient, I may not be a “medical expert” but I am capable of recognizing similarities, especially when they are obvious and frankly common for dementia sufferers. I can also make judgements of who I vote for and not vote for based on my own observations. Whatever your opinion of my decision and my reasoning for it—-that is meaningless to me.

It's kind of humorous reading this and thinking about trump during the same campaign. He looks utterly confused and has no idea what he is talking about all the time, he was a doddering fool during his last administration, and this one he's not at the wheel at all.

So it's just funny to think that people looked at the mental capabilities of Harris and trump and decided... yep trump is the guy!!

I didn’t vote for him either. I don’t necessarily see dementia there, but there are quite a few personality traits that I find absolutely abhorrent.

You’re proving exactly my point is that you hold disdain for Biden being old but Trump who can’t talk either is given a free pass. Yes that discounts your nonvoting opinion to valueless because it is nonsensical. Regardless if Biden is early stage dementia or not.

You can “see” all the dementia signs you want. It doesn’t make it true and you should really seek out more material than the few times you’ve probably watched him speak. He really was a good leader that got thrown under the bus for a few bad performances. Right now you’re just carrying on how you’re not qualified to diagnose dementia but it doesn’t matter because you know what the media circus told you and that lines up with your baseless theory.

Oh yeah I wasn't accusing you of supporting him, just thought it was interesting how people treat him as if he hasn't lost his marbles. It's night and day to how he spoke ~15 years ago. His brain is mush.
