It’s 100% a bad faith argument. We’re dealing with the mess that the party leadership created and these people are just posturing for why it’s our fault that party leaders continue to push such terrible candidates in the face of Trump. They did it in 2016, they did it again in 2020, and now once more in 2024. The blame lies squarely with them.
It is a bad faith argument when you’re only asking people to list potential candidates so you can nitpick them away and claim that “they could have run against Biden” when we all know that’s not how things work with an incumbent especially if that person needs party funding and support later down the road.
Edit: look at your comment here:
Don’t bother trying to reason with people who don’t lift a finger for anything socially or politically important for 3.5 years then just show up in the final inning for the general election to complain about how they aren’t represented at all and don’t like any candidates. They’re children going “it’s my money and I want it NOW!” with whatever nebulous political outcomes they want.
The people who’ve been sounding the alarm for 8 years after Clinton lost and Biden nearly lost are “children” to you. Meanwhile, you have complete faith in the party leadership who keeps fumbling the ball again and again by picking the absolute worst candidates to back. People can’t even win running against a guy like Trump.
This shows your true intentions and why your argument here is in bad faith. You have blind loyalty to whomever the party picks for you and are now throwing a tantrum because they decided your guy wasn’t going to cut it.

It’s not bad faith. We just disagree. Not everyone who disagrees with you is arguing in bad faith.
