That could be true politically but not from what’s best for the country POV. If she believes she is the best thing for this country and truly loves her country, there is no reason not to debate this challenger and “simply” state all the great things you’ve done for your country. I would label that a good reason but…I love my country and place it way above any political party. IMO…so should “we” all.
There’s a very good reason: why provide that platform to a MAGA whackadoo?
Moreover, we all know that Forte would follow the Trump playbook, turning the "debate"¹ from a joke into a farce, by interrupting and yelling to stifle any hope for meaningful engagement. That’s the new way: all sound, no light.
Finally, the internet is real, and there is plenty of commentary available on AOC, both favorable and unfavorable. We don’t need this Kabuki to find that stuff.
¹debates at their very best are little more than intervaled exchanges of scripted talking points.
Each viewer would be privy to any question asked by either side and the response by who was asked? There are many, many, many things that those with their noses to the grindstone, are unaware of. This is a time where potentially…honesty can prevail and the truths may be revealed. Why wouldn’t everyone be for this…if…they place their country above their party?
I went over AOC’s policies with great interest. Considering the citizens of New York City are now suffering some of the devastating effects of unregulated and mass immigration of other country’s poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled, and criminal populations, and scarce public housing is now being filled with foreign nationals while New York’s citizens, including U.S. Military Veterans are going homeless, I was astonished to learn AOC expressed no intention to secure our border and end the current massive flood of foreigners into the United States which now, under AOC’s watch, is estimated to be about 4 MILLION since 2020 and growing by millions more as we speak. In fact, I was absolutely stunned to learn AOC plans to “abolish ICE” altogether, indicating a totally unregulated and open border!
Additionally, AOC promises to give the flood of foreign nationals’ free housing by making housing a “Human Right”, and give the millions upon millions of foreign nationals’ free healthcare under her “Medicare for All” plan.
So, I can understand why AOC will avoid debating Tina Flore who actually has a plan for putting New York Citizens first, and regulating immigration into the United States in a manner which promotes the general welfare of the United States and her citizens.

Why is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comfortable with filling New York City’s scarce public housing with illegal aliens when America’s needy Citizens, including U.S. Military Veterans, are going homeless?
I’m still wondering if Fox News will give Tina Forte the same amount of airtime as they gave to the Establishment’s Republican candidate, Desi Cuellar, who Tina beat in the Republican primary.
“Republican Desi Cuellar, an Army National Guardsman who’s running for Congress in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district, defended ICE and Border Patrol agents Monday on “Fox & Friends” after AOC started selling “Abolish ICE” merchandise.”
I thought Fox News channel was “fair and balanced”. If so, why not have Tina Forte on “Fox & Friends” as they did have the Republican Establishment candidate on?
