JPP has added two new forums. There is a private conservative forum, and a private liberal forum.
If you ever wanted a space to just talk to your fellow compatriots, this is what that is for.
This still should still be considered experimental and we aren't sure if we will keep this long term. Maybe just for the election. We dont' really want to factionalize this site too much or have things get too echo chambery, so right now consider this a test run. We'll see how it goes and adjust from there.
Some people have been pre-invited based on being obviously liberal/conservative, and also I just went down the list of who was currently online in last 24 hours.
Qualifications for entry into one of the two forums are:
1. Have an account older than 6 months (younger alt accounts are fine as long as the main account is known to have been here longer than 6 months).
2. Only liberals can go to the liberal forum. Conservatives to the conservative forum. We will generally use the honor system for this, but we will also use a "we know it when we see it standard" i.e. ILA wont get access to the liberal forum and TTQ isn't getting access to the conservative forum. Beyond that, we dont intend to gatekeep.
3. To get access, simply post in this thread for what forum you would like access to. (eventually we'll have a dedicated public invite request thread)
4. "But what If I am a special snowflake/libertarian/centrist/precious moderate? Where is the forum for me?" - Pick one.
