Sure there was pivot, you asked for the dem numbers, I gave them, you then pivoted the number not being enough, then I pointed to your dismissal of across the isle voters, then you pivoted to the poll not mattering anyways because of a hypothetical of media attacks sinking them.
I could point out the same, that MM hasn't started campaign attacks on Abbot's abysmal handling of the electric grid or COVID, or his criminal AG, or treatment of immigrants, or his siding with Trump, but what's the point really?
As to your 2nd point, both Bernie and Michael Moore have expressed tolerance and a softer tone when dealing with Trumpers but I'd never accuse them of being one from those statements.
