I only hope it is not, as stated in his very next sentence, "the knell of the Union."

What makes you say that regarding AOC?

Wow! If you're really that blind, no one can help you; if you're just pretending to be that blind, no one should bother.

Wow! Just asking for your perspective about what positions AOC has that make you think she is the death knell of the Union.

I assumed that since you had that position, you'd be able to explain to me why you think the progressives she represents are the death of the country.

I would be happy to explain it to you over beer -- and as you know, I've made that offer a couple of times. That's how real persuasion between opponents takes place: in conversation, not in opinion-grams.

I am not willing to type up a brief so that you can play both adversary and judge.

Fair enough - didn’t think it was too much of a request, but I definitely understand that the conversation would be better in person, as opposed to on this forum (honestly, that probably applies to 90% of the stuff in the Quad).
