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?

Question for you—I’ve heard from some political scientists that rank choice would be bad.. that’s how Israel keeps getting bibi and how hitler was elected.

Is there any truth to this?

I’m not clear on the exact type of system used to elect either, but Ranked choice voting didn’t cause Europes raging antisemitism or the Nazi’s seizing power after winning only as a minority government any more than it has caused Israel’s intention to ethnically cleanse the land of Palestine. As far as I know, again anyone correct me please, but I’m not sure that Israel uses RCV, they use proportional representation, but those terms aren’t mutually exclusive or inclusive. They can be used together.

It was direct election of the Israeli PM combined with Shimon Perez's mental retardation that made Mileikowsky take the prime ministership in 1996 despite Likud losing the Knesset to Labor.

Also the idea that RCV == Hitler is so risible I don't know how someone takes it seriously.
