This is totally not concerning your post but still related... There’s a narrative that has been formed around Joe that he’s becoming senile and mentally unfit to become president all based on his speech patterns and his “forgetfulness” when he speaks. As someone with a stutter, and someone who knows Joe still has his, this fucking sucks. There’s been many moments in his campaign and debates where it’s so painfully obvious that he’s blocking or trying to cover a stutter, and political pundits, on both sides, just go along with that senile narrative. Just goes to show how, no matter how successful you are, one with a stutter will truly never get away from things like this. It’s expected but still disappointing. Bernie2020!
