FAQ: Aren’t you afraid this will help Trump?
This is a primary where Democrats are trying to get their voice heard by the man who claims to lead our party. We are well-aware that Trump is not our friend. There is a long time between now and November for Biden to change his policies and earn support from Democratic voters.
it’s a meme, not a strawman. it’s not even an argument.
if you throw a stone into a pack of dogs
It presents some imaginary person countering the notion of criticizing Biden over Genocide with outrageous claims and deflection. That’s what a strawman is, when you build an opposition to your stance who doesn’t really exist.
this is such a funny comment bc every one of the phrases in the last panel is from comments (often now deleted) on this very platform. one of them is even from this comment section (though they eventually came around and i don’t know that they stand by it anymore)
the stance exists. i don’t claim it’s yours, but if you want to deny it exists that’s a problem you should maybe self reflect on.
who are they arguing with? what’s the argument they are misrepresenting?
this isn’t a strawman. no argument was happening before op posted their satirical cartoon.
The stance is “I agree and we should ask joe biden to stop funding a genocide” and the imaginary leftist strawman is “ur spreading fascist fud russian bot stop playing their game conservative astroturfing”
In reality, the actual response you will receive from a leftist is “YES” and depending on their mood you’ll also get an additional several paragraphs of nuanced educated political discussion.
naw it’s not leftists saying the “strawman” it’s white liberal capitalists.
a straw man is a misrepresentation of someone’s argument. who is the someone whose argument is being misrepresented?
Leftists who will vote for Biden.
I haven’t seen that happen. I feel like you’re making that up. I feel like you’re just mad about a meme that hits too close to home.
You’re accusing me of strawmanning a strawman so you can strawman while they strawman you?
I don’t know what you’re saying. I’m just pretty confident that leftist don’t vote for Democrats.
