I’m not a member of any political party, I fight to stay off electoral roles, it’s cost me money, and may affect future job opportunities negatively, and it’s very rare that anyone deals with the points you make, it’s always some conveniently incorrect summary they then proceed to answer on.

I wonder if you are already seeking converts though? your clear contempt for Republican lore results in a moral condemnation not so much an appeal to reason.

It is published and that is all you need to do. You neither have to defend it nor promote it. And quite often what they will debate is something else.
