I’m curious exactly how to go about this one. Should it be taken to go after democratic values? considering the parties play such a huge roll in them and that they weren’t necessarily intended to exist, could that be undemocratic?

I think that you should point out which ones the the primaries and contrary to. For example I’m saying that the current system sometimes leaves people without a vote which it does, and that goes against the democratic value of equality, and everyone getting a vote.

With all due respect,
what’s so great about it?

I really can’t seem to understand how this can really be debated. *help*

this topic seems entirely opinionated my guess is that the judges would be pretty biased

any neg ideas…?

For neg, what is the main argument that i should be gathering evidence for?

I think this topic could leave room for a lot of different sides, but I’m looking up Democratic values from every angle and then comparing it to the way that the primaries run…
