The president said his Republican rival “snapped” after his 2020 election loss and would now pose a greater threat to the U.S. in a second term.

“Something snapped in this guy—for real—when he lost in 2020,” Biden said. “He can’t accept the fact that he lost, it’s literally driving him crazy.”

    How is that a straw man?

    I just don’t think we should give credit to someone for advising someone else do the right thing, when they don’t themselves.

    I swear to God that used to be a popular opinion.

    We used to all look down on people that acted like that, being a hypocrite never made anyone better, it usually made them worst. And highlighted when they had (very recently and publicly) went against their own advice.

        Who is my “opponent” here?

        I replied to an article about Biden’s words, with his actions from very recently not matching up?

        That seems relevant to the article, and I have no idea how it would be a strawman, or why instead of saying the argument was a strawman, you called me one.
