1AR: spend more time on the disad and counterplan, less time on case because it was dropped. Good job doing impact calculus! ||
 * 1AC: work on timing yourself before the round so you know how much you can get through. You had to stop like midway through an advantage - you could read a shorter version or even a different one.

7/11--Sarah Aff v. Dua/Ayaan Neg--Baxter

Sarah—you should just make the framework argument on the kritik itself—too much time on the case, you need to get to the off-case argument fast, that’s the focus of this debate and the only offensive argument that they are making—you need to diversify the arguments that you can leverage against the kritik—how does it solve or not solve the aff, should the debate be about challenging oppression, what does performativity do etc?—there are times where you are presuppssong the question of what constitutes good policy debate, instead focus on the question of what is the best strategy outside of debate and why is the affirmative framework the best way to get there—good job using your advantages in comparison to the kritik—stay away from the arguments about the lack of racism and focus on why you have the best strategy to address it—make a distinction between voluntary “separatism” and “segregation”—make sure that all the 2ar is about the relevant comparison
