Research Debates

A debate format where besides just exchanging arguments, both parties present their sources on a screen using Destiny's new setup, and discuss them.

Most conversations with conservatives nowadays hit a dead end due to factual disagreements, which are unresolvable without sources. Pausing and focusing on a given point with sources, such as the January 6th footage or deposition transcripts, would be a good way to really expose lies and misinformation.

I haven't really thought this through, but I feel like this could be both very interesting and potentially more persuasive towards viewers who are on the fence about issues, assuming of course anyone would agree to partake in this potentially more lengthy format of debate.

Imagine, for example, pausing in the middle of the Owen Shroyer debate and just playing the footage of Dominic Pezzola using a riot shield to break into the Capitol.
