    How does it not fit that narrative? If everyone canvassed for another candidate, there might have been a legitimate primary challenge. But almost all the people who complained about Biden didn’t do that. So asking who their preferred candidate was and asking them why they didn’t canvass for them seems apt to me.

      Ignoring that asking about canvassing isn’t all you did, expecting people to canvas to have an opinion on politics is so nonsensical it actually brings us full circle to the deliberately ridiculous original comment I left.

      How is expecting people to canvas before having an opinion any better than expecting people to donate? It reeks of elitism.

        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?
