      Having some fun, but they are not strawmans. Expecting/demanding that literally the entire world and everything in it turns on a dime is what this guy wants.

          Not strawmans, again he is literally demanding the entire world change end over end in 2 years. Are you/we going to play repeat now? Sounds like fun.

            Every part of that is a strawman. There are zero demands in the post, no references to the entire world or 2 years, in fact his specific accusations you are intentionally strawmanning away from span his very lengthy career as a politician. Do you know what a strawman is, are you aware you almost exclusively address arguments with a strawman? Its ingrained into how you type even

              Nope not a strawman, that’s what he demands when he says the world hasn’t changed in 2 years wrt drilling. The time frame is 2 years, as explained before. See repeat, you say yes, I say no.

                    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.

                  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.
