    The document discusses the disadvantages of taking a negative position in debates, including presuming against change, having to evaluate advantages versus disadvantages of action, and having default "block" assignments as the offense. It also covers debating disadvantages on the infrastructure topic for the affirmative, including whether infrastructure is inherently bad, assessing probability and time frame of impacts, and comparing short-term versus long-term impacts. Finally, it outlines the components of a disadvantages argument, such as brink/uniqueness links, internal links, and impact turns, as well as defending against impacts by extending disadvantages and establishing uniqueness walls and link walls.

    Thinking about negative offense What does it mean to vote negative? Presumption against change Debates are simply an evaluation of advantages versus the disadvantages to action. Offense and defense. All offensive args are DAs Default block (2NC/1NR) assignments

    Debating DAs On The Infrastructure Topic Affirmative core ground Does the negative have core ground? Is infrastructure bad defensible? Impact assessment Probability Magnitude Time frame Topic-specific impact comparison challenges Short term versus long term versus really long term Multiple non-competitive economic inputs Impact bleeding

    Mechanics DA Components Brink/Uniqueness Link Internal Link Impact Terminal Impact Answering DAs Link uniqueness Issue specific uniqueness No link Link turns

    Impact defense Impact turns Extending DAs Impact calculus Uniqueness wall Link wall
