Nowhere did I defend any of their crap takes, i simply felt AOC’s comment came off more about their athletic performance than their bullshit. I’m all for attacking the bullshit, but don’t want to give the opposition an opening to be dismissive of our arguments because we were unfair in our own attacks.

I acknowledge that’s a fine line to walk here, and that it’s a matter of perspective that I felt AOC may have crossed it, but if I did then others are likely to have, too. As such, I’d rather minimize any opportunities for our arguments to be diminished as bad faith themselves.
