If she is really an idiot and holding up the class by saying all kinds of stupid shit, don't be afraid put her in her place. Just be sure that the rest of the class will be on your side. Just don't be to serious about it, say it half jokingly. Make fun of her for being an idiot. Girls will love it.
Do it when you're sure she is wrong and the rest of the class will agree with you.
This.
99% of the time in debates in front of a crowd, no one gives a fuck about who is right and who is wrong. Truth is irrelevant. It's about who is "winning." It's just like how you can watch a presidential debate on mute and still pick the winner. It's all just a dick waving competition of who's more socially savvy. You win by being the "cool" one.
You can easily get on the wrong side of this, by thinking that people actually care to know the truth. They don't. If you want to win status points, you're best just making amused cynical remarks attacking your opponent. Insinuating that your opponent cares too much or tries too hard is an old standby.
