is there like a study or something? like I agree that it makes a lot of sense in more ways than one, but after a quick look I could only find evidence in relation to ruptured ones

Joe Biden forgets President Barack Obama's name during Press Conference.

I was expecting this clicking on it but idk it seems kinda bad actually
Fuck this shit. I've called my kids the wrong name ever since I had my second kid at 36.
We have 3 kids. I cycle through their names, including the dog's, until I hit the right one.
This would happen to my mom in her 30s. People of all ages have brain farts.
Exactly! It'd be hard to find anyone with multiple siblings that haven't had this happen to them.
Imagine this deserving a thread.
Some people are just desperate to make everything into an issue.
ERA threads referencing Biden and his "mental capacity diminishing" are starting to echo that of a Fox News comment section on President Obama being the antichrist and Muslim in their ridiculousness.

Lmao I have done this so many times. Don't own any dogs but I have 3 kids too and sometimes it's like I'm flipping through a rolodex in my brain.
The majority of Dem primary voters in the US are barely paying attention to the race right now, and that's the group most positive towards Biden. You dont see a ton of seismic changes in polling till after November elections.
Signalboosting right wing shit is actively unhelpful as that shit is designed solely to tear down any future nominee, whoever they may be.
if Biden can be easily taken down by clips of his own speeches, maybe he's not the most electible after all
I learned in HR presentations to not discriminate based off age
For a site that really wants to Trunp to lose, yall like tearing down his opponents

If Biden can be taken down by clips like this, it says a lot more about voters than it does him.
Where do people get this sort of fealty to powerful, privileged, mediocre people and institutions from?
Biden and Trump are sort of similar in that they both lack the intellectual capacity and oratory skills of more naturally eloquent politicians. The difference imho is that Trump hides it by talking at a 8 yr old level and in vague generalities, but Biden simply tries anyway and fails continuously.

"It was president my boss" doesn't make a lot of gramatical sense to me.
did he forget Obama's name or did he catch himself reflexively calling him "President Obama" and decide to go with "my boss" instead
not that it's particularly unusual to refer to someone by their former position, but I could easily see that being the case anyway

We should start making threads with vague medical accusations every time Bernie steps over his own words, too.
Has no one here ever went blank for a second? I'm no fan of his but this seems a bit ridiculous.
Part of the reason why we can't be electing old people to run for president. That includes Trump.
Man that would be amazing for the health of this forum.
A primary is about shutting the fuck up and going with who the news thinks is the best to beat Trump and that's a forgetful, former segregationist, Obama is a "clean" African American candidate, creepy toucher Joe Biden. You shouldn't question him on anything because that makes Trump win
The video is so low quality i cant even tell if his lips were moving and just maybe the mic cut out?
Yeah, not so bad forgetting the first Black Presidents name, who you worked with for 8 years and constantly remind people of your connection to in your pursuit to win the presidency. Totally cool.
Oh the nonsense hasn't even begun yet. Wait till we get to the actual election.
For those arguing that this was because he was told to say Obama less and so he was scrambling for a replacement, surely the whole point of not bringing up Obama is to not bring him up at all and not just stopping saying his name?
I'm not saying this is dementia or anything, probably is just him fucking up on the spot but that defensive doesn't sound very logical.
Also while on its own it isnt a big deal, the constant attention it is getting is a real issue. How is he gonna fare when he is forced to do more events or longer responses when the Dem candidate field narrows?
We have already seen him have to finish his responses in debates as soon as he can to avoid scrutiny or fear of putting his foot in his mouth.
Even if he wasn't a horrible candidate, which he is, constantly fucking up the most basic things when he already has this cloud of doubt around him isn't good surely?

Occam's razor, people
He's been having two months of insane gaffes including "poor kids are just as smart as white kids" yet somehow this is unbelievable?
What does he have to say to make you say "oh ok, his brain is definitely refried beans.", I'm genuinely curious.
Can we criticize Biden for things he actually should be criticized for??? Wasting time on this shit solves nothing.
This thread is peak "bitch eating crackers" jesus christ.
I hope Biden crashes and burns, but this obsession with even Biden's awkward phrasing is honestly doing more harm to the perception of this forum than making Biden look bad.

All the Dem Obama groupies who hate speaking ill of the man and when others do it should realize Biden ain't it now.
Sure. Criticize policy, bigotry, ignorance, and foolishness. Idgaf about Biden """forgetting""" Obama's name.
It's a bit much for sure. Lot of folks here lack self-awareness and don't realize how petty they're being. It's a bad look overall imo.
I'll add that Bernie isn't fucking up basic stuff like this at all, and he's mentally still as sharp as a tack.
My dad mixes my brother and I up all the time. Especially over the phone.
who here among us hasn't had a parent tell a completely fictional story presented as fact? it's just part of growing up.
We really gotta stop picking through everything Joe says ... or doesn't say. Dude's already a shit candidate, no need to beat the dead horse.
Uhh...?
I'm sure a lot of us probably have. I was never sure if the stories my grandparents told were legit or not, even long before they were old. Often they'd be contradicted by my mom or just straight up probably didn't happen. The stories my grandma told of how my parents met weren't even close to accurate.
The last Bernie thread doesn't have a single person doing that. I don't even see a negative comment.
Then there are these Biden threads that are all Bernie boys hooting and hollering.
It's shit like this that lead to Trump winning the election in 2016. Instead of people focusing on the things that matter like policies and political history of who was running we had shit pieces like this. I don't have any issue with people criticizing Biden or any of the Dems running but please criticize them for the right things not these stupid "gaffes". We can't afford to tear each other down for stupid reasons because it gives ammo to the GOP to use later in the general election. This bullshit helps no one else but Trump. While Dems are tearing each other apart he has extremely high support from his base and the GOP who will follow him off a cliff if need be. People need to understand what is at stake here. The stakes are too high for this level of bullshit politics.
I think Biden v. Trump in 2016 would've been close but ended with Biden winning. I think Biden v. Trump in 2020 gives us more Trump.
He just doesn't seem to be anywhere near as sharp as he used to be. Obvious right wingers and liberal fans of other candidates will search for slip ups and things of that nature, but there just seem to be a ton of them.

I mean I sometimes briefly forget the names of people not in my immediate family too. Though this is a bit different, the principle remains.
lol this is absolutely nothing. Dem base loves to blow their own shit up by bickering about the smallest things like this. Republicans won't even need to do anything. We'll slaughter ourselves by the time of the 2020 election I'm sure.
Biden said "my boss" instead of Obama and we have a huge problem. Trump is a walking case of the most insanely severe racism, sexism, pathological lying, narcissism and dementia possible all rolled up into one turd of a human.... and it's Biden we have the problem with.
Lets get this guys! 2020!
