“In a world growing increasingly banal and familiar, what seems enigmatic instantly draws attention. Never make it too clear what you are doing or about to do. Do not show all your cards. An air of mystery heightens your presence; it also creates anticipation -- everyone will be watching you to see what happens next. Use mystery to beguile, seduce, even frighten.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

If you wanted a 2 round debate, why couldn't you just have asked me to change it before you accepted it?

(Check RM's questions for some context)

Weird.... I clicked on this debate and watched the countdown from 10 seconds.

2. The company decides the options, the consumers merely pick one.

The motion states that consumers should be allowed to vote for one or more option. Therefore, any arguments stating: "The consumers might put the company in financial/political trouble." are invalid and should be considered such by voters.

Assuming that the biggest consumers actually want to help with the company. There are consumers that just want to exploit the company to achieve their own deeds, and those should not.
