> Because who doesn't like to be right?

DailyDebates is a public forum with one civil debate topic per day. Because who doesn't like to be right?

Each calendar day (UTC) has a single debate topic. Signed-in members may post one top-level response to that topic, then reply, quote, and vote on arguments. Voting should judge the quality of the argument, not personal agreement. User-generated posts are the opinions of their authors, not official DailyDebates documentation.
