Some guy in a young democrats group called me out for being stupid in 2005 when I held the position that lobbying was bullshit.

“Well how do you get your needs met and points heard?”

“Because it’s their fucking job and if I have bribe them to do it, the whole system needs to be shut down”

“You just don’t even understand what you don’t understand”

“I think I understand enough to call it out as bullshit”
