This topic is based on a false dichotomy.
You can improve with time.
The only really thing you need to understand is how to formulate an argument.
Simple have a claim supported by evidence with an explanation.
Example:
IsaiahDUde543 is losing. The evidence is here https://www.debateart.com/debates/804. Looking at the votes Ramshutu has 20 and IsaiahDude543 has 12.
Make sure the evidence you use is proper. With mine I am able to link it to this debate but with others there is many opinion pieces that don't really present facts in their article. My advice is avoid opinion pieces as evidence and use sites like Quartz, PewResearch and most .org sites. They are either credible sources or actually provide links to their claims.
Lol. To be fair, I could have awarded con the conduct point due to the plagiarism, but I'm being a bit lenient with my voting given this is his first debate and taking his age into consideration.
lol i was joking
I want to say that you should vote for him because I wasn’t prepared for it at all. But I’m only 11 so I think I did okay

>Reported Vote: Virtuoso // Mod action: Not Removed
>Points Awarded: 1 point to Pro for conduct, 3 points to Con for arguments
>Reason for Mod Action: Conceded debates are not moderated unless the voter votes for the conceding debate. Since the balance of points in this vote is going to the non-conceding party, this vote is not eligible for moderation.
************************************************************************
In a debate such as this, I don't think it's 100% necessary, but bsh1 can certainly make that determination since it's my vote. If he deems that it is necessary, I will revote if he removes it.
Virtuoso did not explain the conduct point according to the site rules. You didn't compare each other's conduct to each other or explain how it was unnecessary. Please take a look at his vote.
Great minds think alike
lol we wrote the same thing
Nice to see young people interested in debate, we have a lot of resources on debating in general in the debateart.com forum here:

As there is a large mix of people on this site, including science and theology experts, it’s probably better to issue specific challenges to someone you know; otherwise you may have people like me snapping up your debates :)
Your probably right. This is my first
You got this. I don't see how he could win.
