The “truth” is there.
Bernie’s and Cenk Yuger’s mental faculties have been suspended.

Along with rigid thinking and clearly irrational decisions such as hiring Philip Agnes, this seems to be more evidence that the cognitive functioning of BS may be in decline, sped by his heart attack.

I think those clips are all that are needed to make a clinical diagnosis, even if you’ve had no medical training. It’s irrefutable, and BS should take time out at home to consider his future, assuming he can get on the right plane.

All those examples in that twitter thread are so concerning...can he still stand?
And yes, I'm not serious but I hope the BS supporters also educate themselves about what dementia is and what it's not.

Too many Biden folks have been continually nasty about Sanders. I'm not supporting him but I notice and so do many others.

Do you think you're going to convince DU Sanders supporters to vote for Biden or are you trying to drive those longtime Democrats who happen to support the other candidate away from voting in 2020 at all? Think about it and can it with the meanness. It doesn't matter how they act. You're supposed to have the classy candidate. Try acting like it yourself.

Honestly, when I see Biden's face at the bottom of your snarky posts his smile starts to look like a sneer to me. And I'm voting for him on the 17th. Can you imagine how it looks to a fellow DUer who happens to prefer Sanders in the primary? Do you want them to vote for Biden in the General or stay home?

Biden isn’t in mental decline, Sanders isn’t in decline. Trump’s the one we should be hammering about mental issues.

Biden and Sanders are perfectly fine mentally. It has been a mad dash for both of them since last Tuesday, long days, limited sleep, anyone starts accidentally "misspeaking" in such circumstances. I know when I travel and get back home, I live out of my suitcase on the floor, until I can no longer find a pair of clean drawers, how mentally impaired is that? And I am way younger than either of those two. People just get psychologically tired after constantly moving around, those two have to speak at every stop.

because someone posted this tweet on DU?

And, as the article said, how many Democrats are going to rally behind someone who takes on NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and the Human Rights Campaign?
