Ben Shapiro offers Ocasio-Cortez $10k to debate him; she ducks out

[1bad65]

Im blown away that you're defending her not debating him because hes not in office. Her being in politics opens her up to any debate.

Dont be surprised.

Hes what's called a political superfan.

Anyone on the team supports is always right, anyone not on the team is always wrong.

It is shocking to see at first, but once you see it enough it's just par for the course.

He's by far not the only Team D superfan here, so get used to nonsense arguments like his.

Hes donating the funds to charity.

I think the bigger point is, she wont debate anyone for free let alone 10k.

Maybe. Still, I don't see Ben Shapiro going anywhere to defend his ideas; some of which, mind you, are pretty ridiculous.

I saw him go onto Joe Rogan's platform (and that's pretty much a centrist/libertarian kind of space), but you rarely see Shapiro head anywhere that isn't already friendly turf.

A bit hypocritical, from what I can tell.

cause she knows she'd get schooled intellectually. saying that, no doubt she'd start the name calling like all liberals do and the lefties would say 'she won'

[Scipio2009]

It's time for the Democrat party to embrace the Sickle and Hammer.

Why? So they can end up like Republicans/conservatives, who have wrapped their arms around the nativists and Birch Society?

No thanks

You're not keeping up then.

Shapiro is one of those people who goes to liberal colleges to debate, though some have actually banned him rather than engage him in debate.

And fyi, the Internet is chock full of videos of Shapiro debating liberals, sometimes in hostile environments.

I'd suggest you study the subject matter a bit more before commenting.

Huh? You have to run for office to have a debate?
Having a debate with someone running for office will produce results. It will help or hurt their cause.

If you think what you're doing is right then debate why and the voters will decide based on that debate.

Im blown away that you're defending her not debating him because hes not in office. Her being in politics opens her up to any debate.

In the end, she wouldnt debate anyone in or out of office. Heck she wont even do media that doesnt support her or Dems.

Why debate someone who isnt doing anything for the people? Waste of time. Now if hes running for office, by all means debate. Btw, I think she would be in over her head too. But this debate makes as much sense as Floyd fighting McGregor.

[Scipio2009]

It shouldn't take a dime to get someone, especially a politician, to debate their beliefs.

Lmao at you defending this blatant, pathetic ducking.

What clout does Ben Shapiro have to tell anyone, even a politician, to jump?

My experience with the man is basically limited to his appearance on JRE, and a couple minutes of his shameless Black Panther review, but he's not Charlie Rose, or Charlie Sykes, or Erick Erickson, or Krauthamer, or a host of other voices.

Heck, as crazy as it might seem at first blush, he's not even Joe Rogan or a Glen Beck.

What politician, at any level, has gone to Shapiro to share their thoughts on anything? Nevermind the winner of a Democratic primary election

[Vasyl’s dad]

Entering a popularity contest proves nothing.

Debates do prove which beliefs hold up to facts and scrutiny and which do not.

Hence her avoiding debate like the plague.

Heres a fact. Debates do nothing to solve any of the problems.
