Saul is completely ineffectual, and every single leftist has been him at one time or another. I definitely have. We all have.

The big debate is whether Saul's mistake is 1) that he doesn't walk out of the room immediately or 2) that he doesn't use better rhetoric

I think either would be better than what he does.

There's a reason why it comes as a big relief when Abigail Cockbane shows up. Cockbane is a bit villainous herself be she doesn't take shit.

If Cockbane debated Fritz nothing productive would happen but at least she wouldn't be bullied. She'd interrupt, accuse, get real ugly.

But what she does is leave immediately. She won't even consider walking into the room with Fritz. And that works out better for her TBH

So if there's a "lesson" I guess it's that we have to work on not being Saul. Maybe that means walking out of rooms like that.

Or maybe it means developing anti-Fritz rhetorical strategies. But I honestly don't yet know what those are.

I can't say I've ever seen someone in debate with a Pepe-grinning fascist come out on top. But if it could be done it'd be worth doing.
