      No, of course not, it’s just saying their argument is something that it isn’t. I swear there is a term for that.

      To be fair, I get it. Because I can’t hear your arguments as anything other than “I support genocide”.

        Stating what I take the arguments as, is absolutely not a strawman. At no point did I say “you are stating that you want Trump to win, why would you say that?”

        If you need me to define strawman arguments, I can. But it might be better if you just googled it instead.

        Of course you could always shove your head deeper in that hole if you like. Perhaps going “lalalalala” while doing so.

      It is. The Biden administration does not have a policy to, nor are they, committing genocide. No one is arguing that they should.

      That clearly fits the definition:

      an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument
