Debate US politics and Trump 2.0, live and 1v1 on camera

Debate American politics live with someone who disagrees: elections, policy, and the Trump administration.

American politics splits families and timelines alike. From elections and the economy to immigration and the courts, almost every policy turns into a fight over values.

What each side argues

Support

  • A strong border and tougher enforcement
  • Tax cuts and deregulation grow the economy
  • An America-first approach to trade and foreign policy

Oppose

  • Policies concentrate power and strain institutions
  • The wealthy benefit while services get cut
  • Rhetoric deepens division and erodes norms

These are common positions, not the full picture. The best arguments come out live, when someone has to defend them in real time.

How it works

  1. Check your camera and mic. Debaters go on camera; viewers don't have to.
  2. Pick the US Politics topic and get matched with someone taking the opposing side (Support vs Oppose).
  3. Debate live in a public room. The audience chats and a challenge timer rotates new debaters in so everyone gets a turn.
  4. The crowd can flag a debater off or vote to extend the clock.
