      Doesn’t matter, I know that if someone uses the word “slams” in a headline, it’s not worth reading

      When your opponent has the right argument, the only way to combat them is to pick apart the most inconsequential tidbits and extrapolate/misrepresent them.

        It wasn’t the right argument is the issue. Like only the last thing he ever said was directly saying CPC.

        Like if thats what we wanted to find out we clearly got the wrong person to ask it.

      The US doesn’t recognize Singapore as sovereign? Membership in the CPC is conditional on being a Chinese citizen.

    He’s not ignorant, he’s a demagogue performing for his ignorant base.
