Is it really goalpost moving for 'she never won' to be elaborated on, into 'she gave up before the voting even began because she was that unpopular'?

Yes.

You see, in the first instance the goalposts were at "she never won".

Then the goalposts were moved.

Now the goalposts are at "she gave up before the voting even began".

The crux of "she never won" was to argue that she was not popular. Pointing out that not only did she not win, she gave up while in 6th place before the official voting even started, only serves to magnify the original argument. It's not a goalpost move.

It's not a goalpost move.

Sure, bud.
