That’s honestly kind of insulting to say that, and it shows a lack of awareness on your own part. You’re making one hell of an assumption that people aren’t informed and that they’re making a diagnosis without putting any thought behind it.
I’m not out of line in thinking that people can’t diagnose Joe Biden of being mentally unfit. People couldn’t definitively diagnose Trump with narcissistic personality disorder, and he didn’t have a known disorder that could interfere in a diagnosis. Biden has a well documented stutter, making it hard for any observer to parse his communication disorder from cognitive impairment.
People who are informed would recognize this, and even those willing to diagnose politicians from TV appearances would need solid examples of abnormal behavior that could only be explained by cognitive impairment. I don’t take armchair diagnosis seriously because I have some expertise in psychology. People want a reason to have someone other than Biden, so they assume mental disability can be determined by the public. I don’t think we can with the info available. Gut feelings will just reinforce your biases.

I’m aware of that condition, I’ve heard/seen it before. Still, I’ve also seen other things.
You’re assuming they are mutually exclusive, that if you have a stutter, you can’t have mental cognizance problems, and that’s not true at all.
As I mentioned before, if he took a legal mental capacity test and passed it then that would alleviate my personal worries, but I don’t see that happening, at least I haven’t heard them speak of it.
