Will also accept close variants. If it is loosely similar, might resolve to PROB%.

"And if that's the best thing to do, then you can do it right now, nobody is stopping you" -> 60%

"And if that's the best thing to do, then you can do it right now, under capitalism" -> YES

"And if that's the best thing to do, then you can do it right now, under the current system" -> 70%

"The difference is, under your system I'm forced to do this and under my system we can both do what we want" -> 50%

obviously it will be a bit subjective. If he says a variant of "you can do that already" + "under capitalism" it will probably resolve YES.

So, did he say this?

@Gen I joined late 😭 but I'm still surprised he didn't say it multiple times throughout and I didn't hear it haha

Though Leo doesn't seem to be making many implicit statements - he's much less firm in his side - which would be the best shot at Destiny coming back with "wtf you can already do that" sort of statements

@shankypanky I joined late too

@Gen maybe @ModernDayDebate can help us out here? :)

@shankypanky I think I’ll have to rewatch it later before I can resolve it 🙃🙃

predictedNO

@Gen But if anyone finds a clip first, feel free to buy it up and post the proof

@Gen literally in his opening statement 😅😅😅

@shankypanky 🤪 I’m listening now

@shankypanky Yeah ok he didn’t get an exact match but he says like 3 or 4 of the variants - his entire opening statement is basically restating that you can do socialism under capitalism

So I’m resolving YES

predictedYES

@Gen I mean he said "you can do that under a capitalist system" which is effectively the same thing?

@shankypanky Yeah 😄

predictedYES

@Gen good ol' dependable Destiny 😂

Is a QR code (presumably branded) on a non-branded backdrop the best they could do to appease both sides in this debate? This setting looks like they're just two guys who wandered into a random room and decided to have a chat lol

predictedNO

@shankypanky The QR code links to the main debate market 😄
