    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.
