PT26.S2.Q4 - politician P: my opponent claims that

Darklord

Hi,

I understand why C is right, but what I have trouble understanding is why D is wrong.

I mean, in terms of D, couldn't it be argued that Politician P is "appealing to wholly irrelevant issues" by talking about taxpayers' happiness to distract from the real issue of whether or not there is an obligation to raise taxes?

Any #help would be appreciated!
