Overall no if you mean agreeing with the whole vote.

I agree with why whiteflame voted against me when I was vs benjamin and that is about it.

White flame is probably the only person on the site besides me who almost never votes incorrectly. The one criteria he uses for judging which I think is wrong is in policy debates he considers problems that are increasing say of a rate of 2% a year to be more imminent threats than ones say that happen at a significantly larger number per year. I just think we should focus on solving the bigger current problem, not something that may be a bigger problem in the future..

@RationalMadman

I'm genuinely curious, has there ever been a vote casted against you which you agreed with?

@Barney

Thank you Barney for having a solid read of the debate. Thank you Barney for voting competently!

"Friday I've got a Five Finger Death Punch concert, and Saturday is comic con."

Quite the clique shift you experience on the daily.

I've got some paperwork to tackle tonight. But I might try to get a vote in tomorrow.

Friday I've got a Five Finger Death Punch concert, and Saturday is comic con.

It wasn’t unwinnable by any means, though I’ll note that when you present a critique that utilizes a plan that your opponent can permutate and incorporate into their own, you’re setting yourself up for trouble. You might think I’m just being “simple-minded”, but I think it’s pretty self-explanatory. As for tenses, over-reliance on what you viewed as a clear distinction between your positions is not what I would call “creative”.

@whiteflame

We must always appreciate that part of debating is knowing the audience. If I had known my audience to be simple-minded and incapable of grasping a creative critique which relies on future vs present scope of presidency replacement, I'd have dodged this debate as it is unwinnable for Con.

@RationalMadman

Hey, glad you appreciate the vote.

Shame this debate went to trash votes, shame other high.rankers are too chickenshit to lose rating so they pick easy battles 99% of the time.

@whiteflame

Should be is present tense, not future tense

Joke of a vote.

@Barney

Please vote, a lazy voter voted

@ComputerNerd

I will vote on this, please vote on my debate.

For such a controversial topic, I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.

tl;dr: bump.

@Ragnar

Do consider RM's suggestions if we are to have a reelection.

Not the best conclusion, but adequate.

That's a serious devil's advocate.

@RationalMadman

Definitely not expecting you to debate CON here. Good luck.

@Intelligence_06

I wonder what intelligence level you need to be to think somebody can't debate against what they believe.

@RationalMadman

You realized you are on CON? I thought you are for this opinion.
