Description
Is unwavering loyalty to a political party rational, or should voters evaluate every issue and candidate independently?
Welcome to Match 13 of the Word War Debate Contender Qualifier Bracket, where rising debaters are competing on their Road to Nashville for the opportunity to earn a place on the live stage at Word War Debate II.
In this matchup, Kung Fu Joe and @KEWLV1C Vic debate the resolution:
“Political party allegiance is illogical.”
From political identity and party loyalty to independent thinking, elections, public policy, and civic engagement, both competitors present their strongest arguments in a fast-paced, evidence-driven debate where ideas—not personalities—take center stage.
This debate is moderated by @RyanCMullally the inaugural Word War Debate Champion, who captured the first championship title at Word War I in Atlantic City.
Every match in the Contender Series is judged on the strength of the arguments, evidence, persuasion, and presentation. Only the winners advance, bringing them one step closer to earning a spot on the Word War Debate II live stage in Nashville, Tennessee.
Voting is open for 48 hours after each debate is released. Cast your vote and help decide who advances to the next round of the Word War Debate Contender Qualifier Bracket.
