      “When he says” followed by a paraphrase of what he said, or followed by the underlying logic of what he said, is not a strawman.

        Sure. But youve given neither. Im not being cheeky with technicalities like “oh he used a synonym but he didnt use that exact word”. Nothing alluding to a demand, nothing alluding to the entire world, nothing alluding to a 2 year timeframe. Youve made all of it up.

            Oh its someone else now. Alright you gonna try explaining how the guy making specific criticisms of Bidens own actions was actually demanding the entire world change in 2 years? Throw in some stutters and 1s and !s to help sell it.

              It’s worse than that, he claimed that he was responsible for Republican policies that he tried to make better1111!!!1!1!1! Lol.

              Trump is soooooo much worse, which is the whole point.

                Man you havent been keeping track of what Bidens been up to, these arent republican policies this is Biden. Like not a single republican voted in favor of the bill that opened up more federal land for oil and gas drilling.

                Trump is worse, but you guys have lost your minds and tunnel vision past that same guy agreeing with you that trump is worse

                “Just because he clears the incredibly low bar of being better than trump, doesn’t mean he’s actually good.”

                Read shit, quote people, stop strawmanning.

      More repeat? Are we having fun yet? Not a strawman when it actually captures what he says, he wants the world to overhaul on a dime.

        Im noticing a severe lack of quotes of what they said to help support your claim.

          Oh the strawman accusation isn’t working out so you demand quotations now. Oh wait you didn’t say the specific word “demand” so I can’t say you just demanded, according to your logic. So again, it captured what he said. Fun times yet?

            No, quotes would be the easy way of proving youre not strawmanning. If they said what you claim they said that would be my immediate go to. But my brain is wired to address what people say, not strawmen

              Again, it captured what he said. Thus not a strawman. You even have other people pointing that out.

              Just like how you didn’t try to dispute me saying you demanded this or that, when you didn’t say the specific word “demand”. It captured what you said.

              If your brain is so hard coded that you can only see specific words and can’t see what captures what he said, then you have one hell of a hard coding. Frankly, that’s on you.

                If it captured what they said you could show what was being captured. Like here, you mentioned drilling, so heres what they actually said “Increased drilling permits” is this what youre capturing in saying theyre demanding the world to change in 2 years, or is that elsewhere in the comment?

                  I addressed each point as they came along, you can follow it crystal clear. You just figured it out, even though it was crystal clear back then and in all my comments since. So no I don’t have to go back and show you again. Look how much fun we’ve had back and forth when you either already knew, or could easily figure it out. So easy that, shocker, you saw what point of his I captured. So at this point I think you are discussing in bad faith and/or trolling.

                  So we can say it again since it was so easy you figured it out, yes it captured what they said. You even have other people pointing it out. Just like you didn’t dispute me saying you demanded this or that. Thus not a strawman. Are we having fun?

                    Man you really cant respond to what someone says can you? So back to this quote "Increased drilling permits”, which is not a demand, is not about the whole world, its a targeted criticism of a specific action Biden took.
