There's literally no reason to believe you are the same person. We we believed that, it would be an excellent way to exploit us.

Which is why we call it Sundowning, and it’s a normal part of aging.

This is why people shouldn't need to have to choose between two 80 year old candidates
The presidency requires a lot of travel. If your performance and capabilities are significantly affected by jet lag, you probably shouldn't be the president of a large and powerful nation. I imagine Trump will be affected just as much by jet lag as well if he were elected.
His age is a problem to the point where some people are worried about voting for him. And the Democrats have to include that fact in their calculus as they make decisions and move forward - or they will lose.
The problem with Biden is that he's going to lose to Trump. Voters' major concern about Biden was his age, and he completely validated those concerns last week. His polls are bad and getting worse, and we can't wait and see if they get better; we don't have that much time to waste. We need to replace him.
A contested convention is risky, but it's our best shot right now. It would dominate the news cycle for at least two weeks and create energy and excitement in the base. As long as we come out with someone generally inoffensive, we have a good shot of winning. My pick would be Gavin Newsom; I don't particularly like him, but he's polling on Biden without even campaigning.
It is now very unlikely that Biden will win the election. Acknowledging that isn't the problem, and ignoring it and hoping it goes away isn't the solution. We need to accept it and find a solution.

It took days for them to come up with the “jet lag” explanation (though they instantly said it was a cold), and he hasn’t travelled internationally for two weeks. Come on, they’re lying.
For many people, I think the shock of Biden’s debate performance was less about the shock of Biden being feeble and more about the shock of realizing that the Democrats have been lying about his feebleness for so long

Incoherent debate performance heightens age fearsPanic and confusion as Democrats weigh Biden's futureOn 15 June, he appeared at a fundraiser alongside former President Barack Obama after an overnight trip from Italy.
His spokesman, Andrew Bates, said the president began "working well before" 11:00, after his exercise routine, during his time at Camp David.His age has been a long-simmering issue this election, with voters in multiple polls saying they think he is too old to be effective.Mr Biden is currently the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for the White House.
