Comment: No, I meant it LITERALLY.

You didn't answer. Do you go monthly to your local LP meetings?

Literally, you specifically, do you go?

I have been and I have related my experience. It is first hand observation. If I wanted to join a master debater society, I would join the LP and go to LP meetings.

If I wanted to move a political football downfield and score points, I would not. They would argue about the play for months and then not play as a team. Meanwhile their opponents would score over and over and over, while they debate amongst themselves.

So, explain what OUTCOMES the LP can achieve? Even if it increased its membership 10 or 100 fold? There's that fatal flaw still.
