Phenenas

Hello there! You can call me Zach. Thanks for taking a gander at my profile. I'm a 24-year-old guy from Louisiana, and I love debating on any subject. I'll go ahead and use this section to describe myself. If there's anything you'd like to debate on, feel free to challenge or message me at any time!

Education:
I have a BA in History. I love all the humanities, but history is probably my favorite subject.

Religion:
I'm fascinated by all the different faiths of the world. However, I'm an atheist, and I'm quite happy the way I am. You can try to convert me if you wish, but prepare to be debated!

Political Views:
I usually feel comfortable labelling myself a liberal. I'm pretty left-leaning, but have been feeling more independent lately, mostly because of the whole Wokeness thing. Proud American and proud Joe Biden voter.

Opinions:
Pro-universal healthcare, anti-death penalty, pro-immigration, anti-Trump, pro-choice, anti-school choice, pro-social safety net, anti-affirmative action, pro-free speech, anti-fascism, pro-incrementalism, anti-Game of Thrones season 8
