    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?

            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.
