    What? Canvass before having an opinion? It had been three years into Biden’s presidency when the election year started. People didn’t have an opinion of whether or not he should run or who else should be president by then?

    You’re right, I don’t expect them to canvass. They clearly are very politically unaware.

      You’re really doubling down at every opportunity?

      How is expecting people to canvas before having an opinion more justifiable than expecting them to donate before having one?

        Again- why did they not have an opinion after three years of Biden’s presidency?

          The point being that you went from not believing anybody else could do the job to believing in Harris because it turns out that if somebody isn’t campaigning then they don’t seem a viable candidate?

            Never said no one else could do the job. Why are you lying?

            I said no one did any major canvassing for anyone else. I said it to you again in this conversation. That’s a simple fact. I’m sorry you don’t like facts so much that you have to lie.

            Also, candidates don’t win primaries by magic. You have to get people to vote for them. That involves canvassing. Either you’re incredibly ignorant about the electoral process or you’re trolling. The lie makes me think the latter.

              If you pointedly and repeatedly demand which alternate candidate somebody canvassed for, then one of three things is true:

              • You don’t think an alternate candidate exists
              • You think somebody needs to canvas to hold an opinion
              • You think there is an alternate candidate, but are just being difficult for the sake of it

              Why bother pretending otherwise?

                This is a lie, I ask. I do not demand. After two lies, and that is the second, I don’t bother reading further. The rest of your comment was a waste of your time.

                  I’m trying to figure out if you’ve convinced yourself of this or if you’re just trying to avoid appearing wrong on the internet. Utterly fascinating.

                  For reference, demand would very obviously be a synonym of ask in this case.

                    And now you’re doubling down on your lie, so we’re done here.
