In a real debate the judges actually keep score based on logical arguments and good examples, typically what’s called matter, manner, and method. This was political theater or maybe a skills test, but not a debate. And pretty much always was for as long as I can remember.
Yeah but i mean if you think about it someone is wrong then. Which means there wouldnt be a reason to debate because you can just compare the two claims and choose the true one. And if what they are debating is subjective then there is no winner.
I still dont understand how you can win a debate…
In real debates, you logically disprove the other person while proving your own point

You convince the audience that your position is better and the path forward for whatever reasons. Doesn’t have to be correct/incorrect.
You also win by appearing presidential.
Because it’s America. And there are winners and losers. One can’t win without someone else losing. Capitalism teaches you this.
But for reals this is why right?
