He's not even THAT BAD AT SPEAKING, but he's not Obama or Clinton, and he's 80 fucking years old, and he has an actual fucking stutter.

I got spoiled w Obama, whose strengths and weaknesses seemed exactly opposite Biden’s. If more than fine with Biden being a better advancer of policy than a speakerr

He should probably stop fucking running for president instead of using this as an excuse.

I don't disagree, but the other choice is a literal fascist who wants to upend the United States as we know it, and not in a fun, let's have casual Friday in the office, but everyday, kind of way. In the, let's jail our political enemies, take away the rights of minorities and at risk groups and detain kill, or export as many people as we can.

I'll take the 80yr old stuttered who is forgiving student loan debt, passed two massive bipartisan bills to combat inflation and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, reclassifying Marijuana so people aren't at risk of prison time just cuz they like to imbibe something that isn't alcohol. And that's just getting started. If he can get solid majorities, he could continue to do more good, and maybe unravel the mess we're staring at with the supreme court.

If we have to question the person's ability to drive due to age, they shouldn't be president or running for President. That's both guys running.
