I noticed people turned the propeganda thing on tulius, but don't forget how Ulfric likes to throw around the label "true sons of Skyrim," which allows him to justify just about any murder, any warcrime - even those against his fellow nords - to his followers by simply claiming they weren't true sons of Skyrim because they disagreed with him.

Also worth mentioning is that the Thalmor would have a much better chance at conquering Cyrodiil not only because the Empire would have lost reinforcements from Skyrim, but also, no matter how many Legions the empire has, it wasn't enough to defeat the Thalmor the first time around, and If Ulfric wins that's still an entire legion the empire no longer has. Meanwhile the Thalmor would only lose spareable emissaries. Once Cyrodiil is taken, taking Skyrim seems much more possible.

Not to mention that if Ulfrick wins that everyone that isn't a nord in Skyrim would, at the very best, be deported. Skyrim would resemble 1930-40s America with "Nord only" plastered across everything, everyone else being allowed access to the most rambshable and overpriced of every basic necessity to life, hell, knowing Ulfrick there'd probably be abhorrent taxes just for not being a Nord.

But back to the negotiations, can I just mention what a brat Ulfric is during them? Like, the whole point is to say "everyone chill for a bit while I go and work on stopping the end of the world." then Ulfric - the one who would more readily understand whats going on, because it's his culture, as well as he studied the thu'um - goes "not unless I get my way" like, boy if you don't sit down with yo spoiled, privalged little ahs, actin like a fu'in 4 year old, fu'in Caiollu actin lil punk ahs bih, Imma let this dam dragon eat you, you keep this shih up.
