President Joe Biden spoke extensively for the first time on his decision to withdraw from the 2024 race and his plans for what will now be the final few mont...
It’s fun to expect things. And it’s weird to expect someone to be positive about everything when they were just accusing you of only being miserable about the election.
But yes, I am very positive about the election right now.
That was never my opinion. My opinion was that Biden (and a lot of others) believed that, and almost no one ran against him. So if people wanted someone else to run instead of Biden, it was too late. And they didn’t canvass for anyone else anyway, something they got mad about when I asked them who they canvassed for.
But I was wrong about it being too late because I honestly did not think Biden would do this.
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.

I think both are incredibly weird but you do you, boo
I take it this means you’ve reconsidered your previous opinion that Biden is the only viable candidate for the democrats

Pointedly asking people who their preferred candidate is to Biden doesn’t fit that narrative, though.

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?
