Honestly, the introduction of this boiling down to the lesser evil of Dem vs. Rep seemed close enough to a strawman for me that I found it good enough for a quick quip.
My point is that they’ve already started setting up distractions from the typical arguments - conforming it to a false binary that moves the spotlight away from structural systems - before those arguments have even begun. Let me know if you know a term that would better apply.
They’re setting up the old strawman before any debate has even started!
That’s not a strawman, strawman is making shit up then arguing against it as if the other person said it.
