Start a debate

A good motion is a neutral policy question that both sides can argue in good faith.

US Vantage is still setting up its database. You cannot post a debate just yet — please check back soon.

Pick a handle first — use the handle box at the top of the page. No account, no email. Your handle is how other debaters will know you.

Motion

Ask a question, don't state a conclusion. Example: “Should the federal minimum wage be raised?” Avoid loaded words — write it so someone on either side would call it fair.

Neutral context

One or two sentences of background facts that both sides would accept. No arguments here — those belong in the For and Against columns.
