You see what you just did? Now, you're playing "this source is better than your source" for no reason other than it upholds the narrative that you are already painting in here.
I'm not playing source-vs-source games, I'm stipulating that your source is correct and saying it still doesn't matter because the very premise of your argument is faulty. Trump's shyttyness on this issue has nothing to do with a Palestinian-American calling for people to vote for Harris being barred from speaking at the DNC. I know "...but Trump!" has been the default response whenever Biden or Harris fukks up, but it's irrelevant this time (and most other times) because
no one is advocating for Trump over Kamala.
I don't think anyone can look at the proposed speech and say "yeah, this isn't going to work." The content of the speech is fine but there's two things you are being very disingenuous about.
The first is that after what we've seen from these protests with all of the "Killer Kamala" stuff it absolutely plays a factor when deciding if the presenter will stay on script. For you to say "it shouldn't play a factor" is very disingenuous.
The Palestinian-American Democratic State Rep who was rejected from speaking was nowhere near the Killer Kamala protests! She has already endorsed Harris before the DNC! And the Harris campaign was given the choice to select literally any other Palestinian-American in existence to speak if they had a problem with her, and they still rejected the offer.
The second is that the election is 2 months away and it's a razor thin margin. The party has had to play everything PERFECT to even get to this point that they are at where they could possibly win it and taking a risk that damages the convention is quite the gamble at this stage. The media is looking for ANYTHING they can to put on Kamala and Walz.... they are desperately trying to get Trump back in office and we know this because there's pages and pages of evidence throughout this thread.
Right, all the more reason they should have nipped this burgeoning issue in the bud. If they just let Ruwa Romman give that speech on Day 2, this whole thing would have been zapped of energy. But they insanely chose to spit in the face of people who support Palestinian rights, the biggest protest movement the Dems are facing right now. And now it's a story catching fire. Choosing to reactivate the issue that hounded Biden at every campaign stop when you were given a mulligan by running a new candidate is complete political malpractice. But again, the very framing of your post belies your unsubstantiated belief that the spectre of upset Zionists is a far greater threat that the materialized demands of 700,000 disproportionately swing-state voters.
For you to sit here and say "what's the big deal?" when it absolutely is a risk is very disingenuous. Why does the speech have to be given publicly, Kamala and her team has been meeting with Palestinians in Chicago behind closed doors, I'm wondering why that does not suffice.
Would you ask such an indignant question of any other group? Is any other interest group expected to accept such meager scraps? Promises made when no one is around. Treated like a side piece on an issue as dire and direct as this. A disgrace.
