I don't understand why the date is 3 days away. Who is debating who? Is this based on a Reddit thing?

This dilemma may be worthy of a political debate:

"/s/TheHolocaust: Facts about the Holocaust" is another new sub, created just before this one. It looks like it's promoting the official story.

Is it worth starting another /s/TheHolocaust_Skepticism (has been in my que, now in my top 15 or 20) or should we post the arguments in their sub? I don't want to shit on their parade but I also won't be silent and raise questions. Separating the two concepts has pros and cons, as does politely confronting them.

Either they will repeat propaganda, have refined arguments to help me learn more nuanced things and require more refined answers, or maybe even I'll change or question some things, or maybe I/we will change their ideas - or both.

For future posts, maybe you want to have a "2019-04-19 Debate" post as well as a "2019-04-19 Commentary" post for random stuff like this comment or other semi-related commentary and free speech outside of the debate wrestling-ring. Just a thought.

I hope this comment is worthy of consideration. Because it's out of place and I don't want to rain on this sub or your post, feel free to save it, delete it, hide it, ignore it, whatever.

Not really a reddit thing, not seen anything like this there. Maybe Neutral politics is close? This is supposed to a bit of a controlled venue for debate. I'm putting up a topic in the hopes of keeping some kind of focus- god knows our politics need some sort of focus right now. I'm hoping for learning and debate. If we can't even talk, how can we solve any problems?

You've got some good ideas though. I'll put up a commentary post, and perhaps a suggestions one as well. Thanks for commenting!

Another idea for a debate:

How can real-progressives get an honest chance in the corporate-Democratic party?

I can come up with dozens more.

FYI: 19th is also Movie Night, Fridays!
