And, 

The public sphere brackets inequalities and dictates public discourse based upon common concern

Let me begin by sketching some highlights of Habermas’s account of the ¶ structural transformation
AND
in the strong sense of a consensus ¶ about the common good. ¶ 

And,

The public sphere constituted many exclusions, primary women; masculine gender constructions will always dominate the public sphere.

Now, let me juxtapose to this sketch of Habermas’s account an alterna- ¶

the etymological connection between "testi- ¶ mony" and "testicle.")

B is the impact

The public sphere discounts counterpubilcs and takes away the women’s voice.

Ryan’s study shows that, even in the absence of formal political incor- ¶
AND
of the consent that defines the new, hegemonic mode of ¶ domination.

And,

Women’s suffrage did not solve, political issue’s and laws still revolve around men’s issue’s and are advantageous to men; in public discourse women’s voice are almost always overrided; equality can never exist in a world where women’s voices and needs are never heard. The public sphere assumes that we can just bracket inequalities and pretend they don’t exist to participate in fair and equal deliberation but this is counterproductive.

Here we are talking about informal impediments to participatory parity ¶ that can persist even
AND
accords with the spirit of Habermas’s later "communi- ¶ cative ethics."

And,

The male discourses that dominate the public sphere cause laws to constantly revolve around the needs of the white male, women’s issues are pushed to the private sphere because over the hegemonic deliberation:

Masculine ideology is the root cause of all proliferation, environmental destruction, domestic violence, and war

C is the alternative

The Alternative is voting neg as an active way of participating in the rejecting of such an exclusionary system that supports the public sphere and giving voice back to the counter publics.

Only by rejecting the hegemonic political discourse of patriarchy has the feminist counterpublic come about; counterpublics have historical helped the oppressed.

This argument gains additional support from the revisionist ¶ historiography of the public sphere,

although not eliminating, the extent of our disadvantage in official public spheres.

Observation 1: 

First,
Kritiks are pre-fiat because they function through real world impacts. The impacts that
The AC advocacy support deal with imaginary fiat functioning debate situations. This is something
That affects the world outside of what the judge writes on the ballot. 

Second,
The default framework for pre-fiat impacts is Reducing Real World Impacts, which automatically
garners an assumption of realistic consequentialism. 

AND: The discourse of the affirmative has real world implications as words spoken are simply tools to reach alterior goals.

To recognize that language is politics is to acknowledge that form and substance cannot be
AND
. Dissent in global politics is the process that interferes with such objectifications. 

Observation 2:
The affirmatives burden is to fiat change in the status quo for the purpose of a greater end.
The burden of the negative is to prove that the means of truth-seeking in the criminal justice system is not justified by the ends and thus can-not be an action. 

A is the LINK:

The affirmative is attempting to reform the criminal justice system via truth-seeking
All reforms are utopian impulses in America

There was also a utopian impulse in America, though it had its roots in

on maintaining American social programs or, at best, their modest expansion.

Universal ethical principles i.e. morality, truth, justice etc. are utopian

that is asked of him, but he also knows there isn’t any.

C is the MPX:

Utopian imagery is dangerous because it can never be achieved. We view things that we want and desire in The Real. However, because they can’t be achieved we have another part of our Psyche called the imaginary. We create "plans" and say that they are the Band-Aid solution for our problems. But because these plans rarely function in the way we created them through the symbolic, we become aggressive and angry, disappointed and depressed. We then choose to blame another for why we couldn’t achieve our goals when we must first re-analyze our own psyche. This blame is what leads to scapegoating, violence, war, and genocide.

The creation of a utopian ideal causes ascetic resentment against the real world and debate

The craving for absolutely general specifications results in doing metaphysics. Unlike Wittgenstein, Nietzsche

"to show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle"

D is the ALT:

Vote neg as a way of accepting social antagonism and solvency for the impacts of scapegoating.

The Alternative is to accept social antagonism, and rear our focus on current issues, rather than trying to achieve something unattainable, only then, we solve for any problem in the real world

When faced with disharmony, we have a choice a) we can continue down the failed path of utopianism or b) we can accept that social antagonism is inevitable and try to design democratic institutions capable of accommodating competing political visions.

To recapitulate, the starting point of this chapter was the disappointment and resentment caused

society is lacking, it is crossed, barre? by the impossible real.
