An argument where there isn't any real constructive debate happening,
but rather a battle of egos, pride, and vanity.
An argument where attacking your opponent's character, past, family,
or friends as well as name calling or claims of not caring
take precedence over a practical view of the real issues at hand.
A euphemism for ranting about, disliking, or even hating something
whilst simultaneously lacking any constructive criticism.
"Mom and Dad were having a Republican Debate about proper directions on the
road trip so I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep on the way."
"We tried talking to address our relationship problems but it just ended up
escalating into a Republican Debate every time"
