Stop Gaslighting, Joe Biden Is Still Joe Biden and He’s Not Ok

The comeback of Joe Biden not only looks real at this point, it appears inevitable. Unlike the prior surge by Bernie Sanders, Biden will now be coddled, protected, and propelled into the rest of the primary season. There will be no coordinated endorsements, party machinations, nor softball media coverage to rescue Sanders from his rough night. I won’t speak definitively, but it looks like Biden has seized the race, and with his win in TX, I don’t see the path forward for the once front running communist.

With that said, this isn’t a time for celebration and I was bothered by the amount of jubilation from some on the right last night. It’s getting to the point where it feels like gaslighting. Proclamations that Biden is a “moderate” or that we just avoided disaster because the country won’t be able to soundly reject socialism in November were abundant. The truth is, while Sanders being booted to the side has many positives, we are still headed for a crucial election in 2020.

Further, it bothers me that it only took a week for some on the right to decide to defect again. Just a week ago many Trump-skeptical conservatives were calling for unity among Republicans and demanding we all join forces to stop Sanders. That was a fair request, but you know what else is a fair request? That they don’t fall back into abstaining and complacency the moment their political priorities are met. Yet, that’s exactly what looks to be happening. What’s the point of having allies who only want to ally when they get exactly what they want?

Joe Biden is not a “moderate,” and nothing about him is going to change just because he’s retaken the lead in the Democratic primary. The mental decline? It’s still happening and it will only get worse. Here’s Biden just a day ago.


This is really sad. Joe’s family needs to tell him to pull out of the race. He’s clearly suffering from dementia (although I’m not a doctor but have witnessed this terrible disease). It’d be horrible to watch a loved one do this in the public eye.

 And less you think his Super Tuesday victories have cleared his mind, nope. He could not even get into his speech last night without confusing his wife and sister. Yes, confusing his wife and sister.

If you oppose Trump because you feel like he’s not up to the job, there’s absolutely no excuse for getting excited about Biden and feeling like we’ve saved the country because he’s the other choice now. This is a man who can barely remember where he’s at on any given day, and that’s not an exaggeration. He slurs his words constantly (no, it’s not a “stutter”) and mixes up issues, not from ignorance, but from an ability to process what he’s trying to say. And while people will say “but Trump!” in response, anyone with eyes can see the difference. Trump is a fast talking word salad at times, but there’s a difference between not being a good orator (or just being plain unknowledgeable about a subject as Trump sometimes is) and confusing your sister and wife or forgetting what day it is, both things Biden did in the last day. The physical decline is real and it’s being presented to us in flashing lights.

But forget Biden’s appearances of having the early stages of dementia. Let’s talk policy as well. Yes, the former Vice President manages to be less liberal than Bernie Sanders on healthcare, though he still wants a limitless public option, something conservatives used to assure everyone was a clear and present danger. Yet, on just about every other policy, Biden manages to mirror Sanders or even surpass him to his left.


Just wait until voters really get a close look at Biden, the myth that he is a "moderate/centrist Democrat" will evaporate instantly

-Praised Green New Deal
-More extreme on guns than Bernie
-Wrong on nearly all foreign policy
-No restrictions on abortion?
-Wants to raise taxes


Dem primary has been a repetition of walking up to the precipice, looking into the void, and deciding not to jump. Biden, Warren, Bernie, and now back to Biden. By tomorrow afternoon everyone's going to remember why they abandoned Biden the first time.
 
 
Ok... I really don’t like the dementia jokes about Biden, because it’s sad. But...honestly? This isn’t a joke anymore. When do people in the media start having a serious conversation about Biden’s mental state?
