30. I completely agree that her lies are destructive.

However, I also think the more attention we pay to these lying liars, the more their lies are propagated. It is a vicious circle. Also, calling them names and debasing them isn't going to help either. Doing that seems petty and Trump-like (and I did it too by calling her irrelevant).

Jen Psaki is great example of how to be masterful at handling people like this. Whatever they say, disagree with the basic premise of their statement, then point out what is really happening and how the Dems are better/different from the rethugliqanons. I wish I had used her method in my original post here.
