    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.

      This is upper elementary school strawmans. I aint seen people using 1s and !s to try and make someone sound dumb since early 4chan.

        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.

                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?

                “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.
