lol, it’s nothing but moving goalposts with you, is it?
Your daughter’s life doesn’t mean enough to you to help me get an electable candidate through the primaries. When she asks you what you did to save her, you can say you argued with people on the internet. Sleep with that on your conscience.
I apologize for being too seriously ill to do anything about the primaries. And also for not being a member of the Democratic Party. What did you do for Dean Phillips? I already asked you and you won't say. Should I guess that you did essentially nothing?
I am not moving the goalposts at all. First of all, this is the very first comment I made in this thread:
https://lemmy.world/comment/8053546
Secondly, you blatantly asked me if I'd vote for any Democrat other than Biden:
The answer is yes, if they can beat Trump. I have no idea why you think answering your question is moving the goalposts. That seems like just as silly a lie as when you accused me of supporting genocide- the very thing I said people keep telling me I'm doing by voting for Biden to save my daughter's life in my very first post. Surprise, surprise.
You’re admitting you’ve done nothing, yet you have the audacity to ask me to quantify what I’ve done. I’m very politically active, but I’m not going to go into the details here. I don’t live on this site and don’t want to spend more time than I already have arguing with randos with weird agendas.
Yeah, weird how not being able to eat any solid food for months doesn't give you the energy to go door-to-door for more than about 15 minutes.
Believe it or not, cancer patients and people with immunodeficiency diseases don't have the energy to do much canvassing either.
But sure, run away after all the ridiculous lies. That's fine.
