I'm losing my patience with people riding Biden for speaking issues now that him being a stutterer is more widely known. Most of you guys say dumb as fuck things every day and talking isn't a carefully choreographed gymnastics routine to you. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1204523380612972547 …

Is it off-limits to criticize someone who had a speech impediment for not being abe to string three coherent sentences together? I'd agree with you if people made fun of him for mangling words, but the verbal issues Biden is mocked for are cognitive. Fair ball.

You come to that conclusion with your years of neurological experience?

I don't have any neurological experience. If his stutter is what is affecting his ability to form coherent thoughts, then it should be disqualifying. But I don't think that's how stuttering works.

It forms your lexical choices, sometimes opting for ones that are easier to pull off in that moment than ones that are the perfect semantic fit.

Yeah, I totally get that. But does it make you manufacture memories, confuse different events, or claim things happened that are demonstrably false? That's the issue with Biden's memory, not that he has fractured syntax or weird phrasing or somethng.
