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?

Let's not forget that he's also the architect of student loan debt-peonage. The man is absolute garbage.

He's genuinely done a lot of good domestically. Very difficult to separate that from the absolute catastrophe in Gaza. I suspect that Harris might be slightly better on Israel/Palestine because she simply has not been in the ultra-zionist milieu of national politics for as long. I could be wrong

Like what, what good has he done for westerners (the people you clearly care about most)
