In honor of July 4th, let's debate whether Americans ought to be proud of their country. I think Americans are unjustified in feeling national pride. Who disagrees?

I content that Donald Trump, in his capacity as President of the United States, has harmed LGBTQ+ individuals more than he has helped them.

This is not a troll debate. I'm just a user with extreme opinions. I think invading Africa is a good idea. My opponent must argue against this thesis. This debate is not rated, so I don't risk losing and you don't have to either. If you are against the idea of this country invading Africa, accept the debate, unless your RM. I've debated him 3x and he is confusing.

Some have criticized space exploration as wasteful spending, noting that billions of humans still suffer from a lack of basic material well-being. How can we justify devoting time, money, ingenuity, and political capital to (for example) landing a probe on Mars when (for example) nearly a billion humans live below the global poverty line?

All else being equal, Joe Biden would have a better shot at winning against Trump in the general election than Bernie Sanders. Primarily looking for a Bernie supporter to debate with.

Animosity against President Donald Trump is a campaign killer, because it's focus is a negative attitude, offering no positive campaign messages to attract voters.

Democrats have insisted Trump's survival would not last beyond the primaries, the nomination, the election, nor six months, one year, or by midterms, and more. He's still here.

I hold that abortion should always be illegal except for in those rare cases when an abortion is the only way to save a mother's life.
