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?

While I agree I also think you can’t nearly separate the two. Under Biden’s watch the US internally and externally is recognized as aiding a genocide. It’s hard to say if Dems would have turned on him so quickly if he wasn’t already orchestrating mass atrocities.

I think to the extent that's true, it's in regards to the Gaza genocide hurting his electoral chances. This may have played a factor. Thanks.

It's true in the way that an incubator causes an egg to hatch. I can't put a rock in the incubator and expect to get a chick out on the other side; clearly it's a combination of the external effect of the incubator working together with the internal structure of the egg.

So it's not Gaza per se, it's Gaza, plus Democrats' dependence on Muslim' votes in the Upper Midwest, plus Democrats' dependence on Jewish votes elsewhere, plus Biden's abysmal showing in the debate.

Do you have any articles that detail democrap elites wanting Biden to step aside because they're concerned he's too unpopular due to Gaza policy? I haven't seen it.

Since when has the Democrat Party been transparent to the proletariat?

It's kind of obvious, though, that different Democrats will have to court Zionists and their victims if they're to win in their districts. It's further obvious that the contradiction in material interests will set up factions within the Democrat Party. And finally it's obvious that it's so beyond Biden's abilities to run a campaign that papers over the contradiction until November 6th that it produced a factional conflict within the party that led to an open rebellion. The Democrats aren't going to change course on Israel, but they are going to have Harris run a campaign that tries to distract from its atrocities in Gaza.
