A strawman argument is when they misrepresent something you're saying, not when you think they're wrong about how electoral politics work.

Yes, they took my argument and created a false third choice that was never part of the argument. Then said to choose that.

That's misrepresenting what I said to have that third choice.

Regardless we're getting very pedantic here and I'm not really disagreeing with you if that matters to you.
