    A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. Wikipedia

      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.
