1

Both cases, argued properly

No strawmen. Each side gets its three strongest points, with the numbers to back them.

2

A verdict, with reasons

We pick a side every time. You're allowed to think we're wrong. That's the point.

3

Your take, counted

Cast your vote and watch the floor move. Change your mind later; we'll let you.
