caitlinjohnstone | It’s very bizarre and dissonant how there are currently two separate
and non-overlapping lines of criticism going on against the campaign of establishment-anointed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. There are the perfectly accurate criticisms regarding the right-wing, militaristic
policy positions of the politician Joe Biden used to be, and then there
are the equally accurate criticisms of Biden’s handlers and Democratic
Party leadership for wheeling out the dementia-addled husk of a man he
currently is to run for the world’s most powerful elected office.
These
two debates do not interweave, because they are not relevant to one
another. It doesn’t matter what political positions a dementia victim
once had; what matters is taking care of him and keeping him away from
hazards, like sharp objects and nuclear launch codes. It’s impossible to
know what actual political convictions still remain held within a mind
that can no longer lucidly string thoughts together anyway.
I hate
doing this. I hate repeatedly writing about the obvious and undeniable
fact that an old man is exhibiting obvious and undeniable symptoms of
incipient dementia. It isn’t fun, and it doesn’t feel good. But the
alternative is laying down and allowing the Democratic party and its
allied media to gaslight people into believing it’s not a thing, as they
are doing currently.
