Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I prioritize a strong value based debate. I don't mind progressive debate strategies or spreading, but if it's unclear I won't flow it. I want good clash, clean extensions, and clear voters. Laying out a case for why you should win the round, backed by convincing evidence, should be the key to winning.
