RESOLUTION:
THBT: On balance, the crimes committed during the George Floyd protests were worse than the crimes committed during the January 6th Capitol protests.
BURDEN OF PROOF:
BoP is shared equally. Pro argues that the crimes committed during the George Floyd protests were worse. Con argues that the crimes committed during the January 6th Capitol protests were worse.
DEFINITIONS:
The George Floyd protests were “protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd.”
The Jan 6th Capitol protests were “an event in which supporters of Donald Trump entered the Capitol Building.”
Worse means “more harmful as a whole.”
RULES:
1. All specifications presented in the description are binding to both participants.
Pro was swiftly able to show a much greater magnitude of damage. Con countered with intended harm but refused to support said intent, and had no real defense when pro raised the intent of many of the riots to destroy government buildings.
A better tactic for con would have been to focus on the net benefit of the BLM riots, to outweigh their harm.
Neat thing!

>Reason for Mod Action:
Arguments must always be reviewed even if left a tie (in which case less detail is required, but some reason for said tie based on the debate content must still be comprehensible within the vote).
Arguments go to the side that, within the context of the debate rounds, successfully affirms (vote pro) or negates (vote con) the resolution. Ties are possible, particularly with pre-agreed competing claims, but in most cases failing to affirm the resolution means pro loses by default.
Weighing entails analyzing the relative strength of one argument or set of arguments and their impacts against another argument or set of arguments. Weighing requires analyzing and situating arguments and counterarguments within the context of the debate as a whole.
Conduct is an optional award as a penalty for excessive abuse committed by the other side, such as extreme unsportsmanlike or outright toxic behavior which distracted from the topical debate.

Well okay. If you dont want to take my advice, then dont.
I did read your debate and you stated a bunch of opinions as facts. For example, "January 6th was an attempt to overthrow democracy and fair elections."
"BLM riots were motivated by a just cause. They wanted to put an end to police brutality. Such riots did not at any point intend to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorship, nor is there any proof of that"
"On one side, we have BLM, who were fighting against oppression, motivated by unjust killing, seeking to end police brutality.
On the other side, we have Jan 6, people who were motivated by delusions and lies about Trump winning despite that Trump lost by huge difference, who were fighting against democracy, seeking to overthrow elections and establish dictatorship in USA." Don't be a sore looser.
When voting, you have to compare arguments of both sides.
Simply list main arguments used by each side, compare what negates what and then choose winner.
Your vote needs to give impression that you read the debate and took all main arguments and rebuttals into consideration and weighted them.
I see that you vote a lot, so just need to work a bit on making those votes proper votes.
If you keep voting like that, they might remove your voting ability along with your votes.
