      The affirmative’s failure to advance an instrumental defense of the federal government substantially increasing topical democracy assistance undermines debate’s transformative and intellectual potential

       

      On a topic about democracy assistance the question of effective deliberation is particularly pertinent---debate is not the site to directly drive social and political change, but rather it helps inculcate the requisite skills to leave the debate space better prepared to advocate for the good, however that good may be defined---as such, you should vote for the team that actualizes debate’s potential to equip students with the faculties to advocate for change---this is only possible by instituting deliberation through a set of practices.

       

      First, effective deliberation requires a forum of discussion that facilitates political agonism and the capacity to substantively engage the topic at hand---in short, a forum of switch side debate where the negative can predict and respond to the aff is the most intellectually effective---this is crucial to affecting productive change in all facets of life---the process in this instance is more important than the substance of their advocacy

      Amy Gutmann 96 is the president of Penn and former prof @ Princeton, AND Dennis Thompson is Alfred North Whitehead Professor of Political Philosophy at Harvard University, Democracy and Disagreement, pp 1

       

      OF THE CHALLENGES that American democracy ….. morally required to pursue our common ends.

       

      Effective deliberation is crucial to the activation of personal agency and is only possible in a switch-side debate format where debaters divorce themselves from ideology ---this is vital to preventing mass violence and genocide

      Patricia Roberts-Miller 3 is Associate Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Texas "Fighting Without Hatred:Hannah Ar endt ' s Agonistic Rhetoric" JAC 22.2 2003

       

      Totalitarianism and the Competitive Space of Agonism ….. independent but not expressivist rhetoric.

       

       

      Second, a limited and pre-determined scope of discussion where each side can predict and adequately prepare to respond to their opponent’s argument is crucial to effective deliberation---debate is valuable because it teaches students to be able to defend their convictions against a well-prepared opponent

       

      Democratic agonism can only successfully operate in a limited forum---it’s not a limitation on the content of argument, but on the form in which it is presented---this is not an appeal to exclusion, but to maximizing the deliberative potential of debate

      Robert W. Glover 10 Prof of Poli Sci @ UConn "Games without Frontiers?: Democratic Engagement, Agonistic Pluralism, and the Question of Exclusion" Philosophy and Social Criticism Vol. 36

       

      Recent democratic theory has devoted significant ….. discourse must operate with limits and frontiers.

       

       

      Cross arguing solves your offense, empirics prove that alignment with US agency highlights its internal flaws and contradictions -  this is also offense against your framework

      Hicks, associate prof of communication at the university of Denver, 2002, (Darrin, “The Promises of Deliberative Democracy,” Rhetoric and Public Affairs)

       

      The very possibility of argumentation … sustain their argumentative offensive

       

      Framework 1NR

      Fast, technical policy debate is like bebop – its demand for improvisation makes it one of the ultimate art forms

      The Harvard Crimson 11 (“The Mind in the Moment”, November 1, 2011, SIDDARTH VISWANATHAN)

       

      An improve troupe performing …. also master careful listening

       

       

      Active participation in the language of policymaking is key to overcoming the bureaucratization of government – any alt cuases corporations to fill-in, crushing equalit and value to life

      Wainwright 3 (Hilary, research director at the transnational institute new politics programme, “Reclaim the State”, pgs 25-28)

       

      It is now well established … a critical role to play.

       

       

      Focusing on the state is crucial to critique

      Dryzek 90 (John, “Discursive Democracy: Politics, Policy, and Political Science,” pgs 29-32)

       

      A second kind of critique …. Imperatives of their society?”

       

       

      Role-playing is good and key to address government violence

      Rawls 99 (John, The Law of Peoples, 1999, p54-57)

       

      Similarly, the ideal of the public …. Of peace and understanding among peoples.

       

       

      Their conception is worse – switch side allows us a safe space to test ideas without fear of violence, this increases tolerance of differing views – this means you should err neg on framework because debate is the only activity where this is possible

      Muir 93 (Department of Comm at George Mason, Philosophy & Rhetoric, v26, n.4)

       

      The role of switch-side …. Through immoral actions.
