34. I agree that AOC is a formidable debater.

The problem is that there would be two separate goals in the debate. AOC would be looking to win by talking about the facts in good faith. Greene would be looking to win the spectacle and part of it would be getting her message out to a larger audience. Simply engaging with her is already a loss.

This has nothing to do with AOC's skill or courage. Greene has no right to share a debate stage with ANYONE let alone someone of AOC's caliber.
