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 trust Jill Stein's intentions anyways when she only shows up in politics for a presidential run

Yea me neither. I’d never vote for her when she is third party. The electoral college makes it impossible for a third party candidate to really win anyway.
