she was boasting about how she walked into crowley's office and tried to force him into a debate though - a private debate that wouldnt have meant anything to the voters and would only have served her own ego.


She's no doubt a populist that is using social media to her advantage, but it's still a strawman argument that doesn't have any relation to what is or is not a fair comparison.

if she was confident in having the superior arguments, she wouldnt worry about Shapiro's bad intentions. she would just accept and intellectually smash him. but in reality, she knows damn well that it would be her who'd get smashed.


Debates are not about who is right or who has the better arguments.

If that was the case Kent Hovind would have never "won" a single debate.

well, walking into someone's office and 'asking' for a debate is quite a bold and offensive move. the verb "force" that I used might be overselling it a bit, but "asking" is just as much underselling it.

like... think of customer services in shops. if someone could have called but instead decides to show up in person anyway, this usually means that they are 1. pissed and 2. trying to force things.
or think of specialist doctors - if someone tries to get an appointment, but gets shot down and then shows up in the doctor's office anyway, without an appointment, they are doing what? exactly, they are trying to force things.

To be fair, most people in Congress would probably get smashed by Shapiro in a debate.

From what I've seen, his arguments are pretty shoddy on economics. Evidence in favour of policies like flat taxes are weak and unsubstantiated, and it wouldn't take an expert debater to exploit that. The argument that single payer effectively puts a gun to a doctor's head is another funny one.

it's his ability to debate not necessarily if the ideas are true
