I didn't point anything out. But I did hear about it before the show. And ultimately being on Chemda's side, I just want her to represent it better. I guess that might be asking too much of her. It's just frustrating because if the goal is to change minds, saying "no no why even bring that up?" is right around the point where a conservative thinker dismisses you entirely, just like you would to them for not acknowledging facts.
