A Query For The President. I am a puppet. This is not a confession. It is a matter of public record, and therefore one of the few honest things one may say in politics. By supporting puppets, you support all Felt activities. Not some Felt activities. Not the softer, more digestible portions of Felt-adjacent civic participation. All of them. Their errands. Their clocks. Their doors. Their disappearances. Their accounting irregularities. Their regrettably theatrical relationship with causality. One cannot endorse the puppet and then pretend ignorance of the hand. One cannot applaud the little dance and disavow the strings. One cannot smile for the photograph beside the harmless little effigy, and then act surprised when it was standing in front of something larger. So I ask, plainly. Do you stand by such a doctrine? And, in the interest of fairness, the same question is extended to his opposition. Do you condemn puppetkind, and thereby condemn the Felt? Or do you, too, understand that neutrality is only another string, pulled by someone with cleaner gloves?
iF YOU RECEIVED FUNDING OR, oR A PART OF SOME, sUPERPAC TYPE NONSENSE, i THINK YOU HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT, wHEN MAKING CAMPAIGN ADS, lIKE THIS, }:/
Such an excellent and coherent point. Let's see what the sitting President of Earth C, known meddler of foreign affairs, has to say on the situation.
I have not attained any funding from FeltPAC, CuePAC, DocScratchPAC, or any other associated political ad campaign funds.

Strawman + false dilemma + doorman + ecological + fallacy of division + kettle logic + cherry picking + red herring. “By supporting puppets, you support all Felt activities” is an incorrect statement, and is a blatant fallacy. Hope this helps.
An impressive inventory of fallacies. Regrettably, you have mistaken the presence of named fallacies for the successful escape from a premise. This is a common error among those who believe rhetoric is a broom, rather than a room with only one door. Allow me to clarify. “By supporting puppets, you support all Felt activities” is not a syllogism. It is an accusation. Accusations are permitted to be impolite. Let us accept your objection in full. Supporting puppets does not, in itself, support all Felt activities. Very good. Then state, for the record, which Felt activities your puppet support does not endorse. The doors? The clocks? The disappearances? The laundering of causality through harmless pageantry? The dignified little men in green suits doing exactly what they were always going to do, because someone more respectable declined to look closely? You have not disproven the doctrine, Mr. President. Hope this helps.
My support of puppets is entirely separate than my thoughts on Felt matters. You have just given a great example of a false dichotomy.
