Was This The Best Answer Of JD Vance's Town Hall?

Vance then brought up a narrative we've heard ad nauseam from the Harris-Walz campaign as well as Democrats in general, which is "threats to democracy," a term that Democrats claim applies to the Trump-Vance ticket.
"To me, the biggest threat to democracy is the rising tide of censorship, the idea that we should be trying to silence our fellow Americans rather than persuade them and talk to them," Vance said to applause. (…)
