First of all pretty Palestine is not on the ballot it never was and never will be, that "issue" is so far down on peoples list. The main problem with Biden was his perceived cognitive ability. This was always just republican propaganda because Trump is as senile if not more than Biden and it never mentioned. That is obvious to anyone who doesn't get news through headlines and soundbites.
Secondly polling slightly behind Trump doesn't mean he was going to lose. How many times have polls accurately reflected anything. Biden polled lower than Trump in 2020 and still won. Haris still polls -14 vs Trump in some polls.
Hasans political takes are not based in reality he doesn't have to correct his world view because it will never be implemented and can therefore never be proven wrong. He can forever hide behind the true communism has never been tried meme.
The biggest applause during the DNC was for the mention of Palestine. Your arguments are entirely unfounded and have no base in reality. Biden was not losing to Trump in every poll in 2020 and he certainly wasn't turning blue states into battleground states.
Oh yeah, they got the biggest applause did they? Are you pulling a trump and measuring every applause.
The DNC crowd cheered for everything. I watched and I heard what was said about Palestine it was not worthy of applause. If people supported Palestine they wouldn't have been cheering because dems basically said " get fucked we are still selling weapons to isreal and protecting them but don't worry we are close to a ceasefire for real this time"
I saw the reactions from pro Palestinians people and they were pissed. So to think a loud applause ment support for Palestine is dumb. These people don't actually care about Palestine it's only virtue signaling to them it's not on the ballot.
Lastly, I never said he was losing in every poll and I agree that Kamala has turned out to be a stronger candidate. I just don't think the choice was as easy and risk free and you make it out to be. Polling is constantly up and down, kamal is polling really well but it might still be a close election.
