Reason:

LOL WUT?

Pro opens the debate by going off on a completely off-topic rant about the "drivel" from the comments section. Dragging the comments section into the debate is bad enough on it's own, but the fact that his rant never even mentioned the actual topic of the debate further makes this strategy maddeningly illogical.

Con's rebuttal was simple, efficient and ultimately correct; Bernie Sanders self-identifies as a democratic socialist on his own website.

This was never refused by Pro, who forfeited the remainder of the debate without further comment. Arguments and conduct to Con.
