There’s a lot of misinformation being spread about everything going on in Gaza. It’s wise to not believe anything without proof.

You’re ignoring the optics of not negotiating. This is politics. How you present yourself impacts voters’ opinions.
No one is gaslighting or making strawman arguments or any other psych buzzwords over here.
You have a good one too. I’m glad the internet allows us to have these conversations because I think it is important to have discorse with people of opposing views.
The idea is to negotiate in good faith to show that is our stance and not give in to bad faith negotiations.
If we don’t negotiate at all then there’s no way forward.
The GOP as a party supports fascism yes. But individual members of Congress are on a spectrum and can be influenced to vote in our best interests.
That’s why there are almost always some members that aren’t voting along their party lines. It’s happened like this since the inception of our government.
That’s why diplomacy is important.
Just look at how democrats won concessions from the house on the spending bill recently and made republicans look stupid in the process.
That happened because of diplomacy. Your approach would’ve resulted in a government shutdown instead.
So again, you’re saying he shouldn’t negotiate with republicans which will result in nothing getting done.
How is what I said a strawman?
If politicians don’t negotiate across the aisle when majorities in Congress are slim then nothing will get done.
Did you or did you not imply that Fetterman shouldn’t negotiate?
How is that a strawman?
I did. They are used to prove how misinformation is spread by people who link articles as proof. They make the point that these articles can’t be trusted without proof.
