Fetterman was recovering from a stroke…. I don’t think comparing Biden’s performance to a recovering stroke victims is a very powerful positive message.

Yes, and you can continue to improve from stroke related symptoms, age does not get better.

No but a cough drop and a glass of water helps you get better after a cold and dry mouth

That’s BS. Biden’s voice isn’t something temporary from illness. It’s been like that for months now. Maybe the coughing is from a cold, but he really struggles to project his voice.

That doesn't sound like struggling to me.
