Discussion Dementia is Disqualifying, but Not Genocide

It's really disturbing to me that dementia is disqualifying for Joe Biden, but him doing a genocide is not. That shows how Palestinians are viewed in America by the political class.

If only Hitler had dementia, maybe we could've gotten rid of him sooner, since the Holocaust wouldn't have been a problem for him with his domestic constituency.

What do others think?

It’s just.. unsurprising. Pretty sure any US president (yes even if Jill Stein somehow managed to win) would not discontinue the genocide.

I don’t fully understand how us politics work but I know it’s not only up to the president here and I know there are ripple effect consequences for the US if the US stops supporting Israel, which is why politicians don’t do it

I don't care about the ripple effects. What? Losing money from bribers (donors). Oh well. I understand how US politics work and the president only needs to pick up the phone and make one call and this shit is all over!

Did I say I do? I don’t either. But politicians do because that’s how they stay in power. System needs an overhaul. That’s all I’m saying

I don't care if he stays in power. I care about him ending the genocide, which he could with one phone call. If you agree then I apologize for misunderstanding. Cheers.

Biden is no longer running for re-election. Are you serious about advocating for palestinians? Tell me about this phone call, how does that work?

I agree with you.
