No, it's not remotely shifting the goal posts. You explicitly said encumbants shouldn't be allowed to campaign on fixing issues if they're not already working to fix those issues.

What I wrote is a direct and obvious consequence of such a law/policy, the goal posts haven't moved a fucking mm.

And sure, some sort of promise or prevention for that would be great, but it's effectively impossible to codify it into law in a way that isn't easily exploitable, circumventable or just has worse consequences than the thing it prevents.
