Hindsight? I'm referring to polls that were widely available at the time.
His health decline was not sudden if you were paying attention. His aides were even trying to hide it.
And now you're trying to move the goalposts. We're not talking about all candidates, or voting trends, we're talking about how Biden was an obviously bad candidate. You can avoid the topic and keep your head in the sand, it ultimately doesn't matter anymore. What does matter is that we learn from that mistake moving forward. Have real primaries where the DNC doesn't put their thumb on the scale and instead lets three voters choose who they want to vote for. It's a very simple idea.
