Important to note that they are feigning an overly broad and overly general interpretation of “sit at the table with.” That phrase clearly denotes political compromise and coalition building, not just “anything except punching, including gently showing them the error of their ways.” This North wind and Sun act is just a cover for their real aim of actual coalition-building with Nazi’s, if not outright support.
It is just laughable that these people whinging loudly about losing an “avenue of diplomacy and change” also consistently refuse to condemn the actions of actual fascists, so this complaint would be all hypothetical if it weren’t instead just a bald-faced lie.
