The short version
Participants choose to visit the site, verify an email address, provide a state of residence, and respond to each statement with Agree, Disagree, or Pass. Results describe those participants only. They do not estimate the views of every American.
Participation and safeguards
- Each conversation allows one completed response set per verified participant.
- Email verification helps reduce automated or casual duplicate responses.
- Privacy-protected device, browser, and network signals are converted into one-way hashes and used to identify likely duplicate participation.
- No safeguard is perfect. A determined person may still evade controls, and shared devices or networks may occasionally be blocked.
What is measured
Every statement uses the same three response choices: Agree, Disagree, and Pass. Participants may add optional written context, but those explanations are not published. State is self-reported and is used only for regional aggregation.
What is published
Public results show aggregated counts and percentages. A statement must have at least five verified responses in a selected geography before its distribution appears. Individual votes, email addresses, and written explanations are not public.
Important limitations
- This is a self-selected, nonprobability sample.
- The results are not weighted to match the U.S. population.
- There is no conventional margin of sampling error.
- Question wording, order, current events, recruitment sources, and who chooses to participate can affect results.
- State-level results may be especially unstable when samples are small.
