    This poster is almost certainly a white, college educated lib in the northeast. But they love their AAVE, don't they?

    Not to mention: it's clearly not a stutter.

      It's gotten to the point that when I see AAVE online, my first thought isn't "This person is black" but "This person worships Pelosi"

        It's not even natural AAVE, or it doesn't seem that way to me. They took a few superficial features of it that are easy to tack on the beginning or end of a sentence and just used that.

          Are you just talking about the words "Yall" and "ain't"? Cause where I live (Oklahoma ) pretty much everyone uses both those words all the time

      "Y'all" by itself -- which is all I see here -- isn't AAVE. Most people from the south or a rural area of any state use "y'all."

    "Y'all," there was a recent West Wing Thing that talked about stuff like this - if these people where honest they'd say "well yes he's old and losing it but Trump is a monster so vote for Joe." But instead they all insist on gaslighting us by saying that Biden is actually an amazing progressive who's brain is in fact entirely intact and he just sometimes stutters. I've known plenty of people with stutters but somehow none of them have accidentally stuttered "come on man, just let the cops shoot those dirty anarchists in the you know, you know the thing."

    George VI had a stutter (and a ridiculous accent). People get that.

    Biden forgets his paragraph topic mid sentence.

    That doesn't make him not a person worthy of compassion, but it is a negative on his ability to run the executive branch of a state. As is...literally everything he's ever done.

      Disabled people are really deep in libs' rhetorical pockets, to throw at someone when they're running out of other explanations for why giving Healthcare to everyone is bad.

    That's what you get for still using tumblr (I say this as someone who is still using tumblr btw)

      No its a good word that fills a niche English needs filled . I would do the opposite, make it so widespread that libs no longer feel like they're signaling "I have a black friend" by using it.

        Have mercy I just don't like talking and naturally say stuff like "Y'all'll" instead of "you all will" etc

    But it is ok to misgender Lindsay Graham and diagnose trump over the internet apparently.

    Liberals love using people as props and then throwing them under the bus

      "Trump and Putin touched penises" is a purely political statement intended to illustrate the weakness of the GOP foreign policy platform.
