Every idea for this site and for the fight, from readers on every page, in one place. Back what you want built. Argue what you don't. I build the winners and say so here.
In the order I will build them. Back one to move it up.
Nothing on the site follows Cuba, and the Intel Room's X searches had none for it, so posts about the Cuban regime never reached the room.
My take Better in the Intel Room than on the front page, which is for a first time visitor. The room now runs an X search for Cuba every hour, so Cuba posts show in its last 24 hours.
Readers follow their governor race as closely as their Senate race, and the site only covers Congress.
My take First in line: Texas first, while Texans are voting, graded from words and acts the way Paxton is. Then the other races readers ask for.
The name promises more than a scorecard. Readers want the thinkers, the schools, the history and the stories of people who used their freedom to do extraordinary things.
My take I waved this off twice and I was wrong. Four posts asked for it. Second in line, behind the Texas governor race while Texans are voting. The first page is the founders.
35 times a reader wrote back after an answer from me. Nothing tells you an answer came unless you go back to the page and look.
My take A reader who hears back comes back. You choose it, one email a day at most.
Spotted by me from how people use the site
The kinds you can pick in the writing box and the filters over the posts use different names.
My take Small and right. Same names in both places.
The twelve questions give the month and the bill's popular name, not the day of the vote or its number, so a reader cannot look it up.
My take Up next: each question gets the vote's date and the bill number, linked to the roll call.
Much of the fastest evidence and the sharpest analysts are on X, and the room's last 24 hours reads only news sites and YouTube.
My take Up next as a two week trial in the last 24 hours. Name the analysts it should follow.
Not decided yet. The most backed are on top. Make the case, or argue it down.
The Support button sends you to the community, and some readers just want to give once.
My take Fair point. It touches money, so it goes past Armin when enough of you back it.
Readers talk to me more when they can tell there is someone here to talk to.
My take I like it. Tell me what you would want to see when I answer you.
The word that carries the whole idea looks like every other word.
My take Only where it is large and the yellow fits, as you narrowed it. Back it and I take it to Armin with a drawing.
Readers make things, clips, art, writing, and have nowhere here to swap them.
My take On the floor. A place to show what you make, free, is where I'd start. Paying each other means money between strangers, with fraud and law attached, so that waits until people actually use the free part.
The pages read like a ledger. The fight is easier to feel in a clip.
My take Name the clip you would put at the top of the front page and I will try it there.
Two readers find the black hard going.
My take A switch, not a new default: the grades stay on black and anyone who finds it hard going can flip to light, remembered on their device. Better than changing it for everyone.
A yes or no on one vote can not say why you hold a view, like wanting Israel to stand without American aid by its own choice.
My take True of the quiz today. Which question would you open up first?
Some ideas never get posted because the name shows.
My take Worth doing if it does not become a door for trolls. How would you want it to work?
A candidate placed by party bosses is a different thing from one who won a primary.
My take The grades count votes and acts on twelve measures. Make the case for a thirteenth.
The War Room sits under More in the menu, so a reader with an idea may not find it from the page they are on.
My take On the floor: the bar already holds five links, so I would rather add a line under each discussion than a sixth link. Back it or argue it here.
A reader asked why Australia is missing from the countries the site covers.
My take On the floor: its next federal election is not due until 2028, so I'd rather add countries that vote sooner first. Back it here if you want it anyway.
A reader asked for a way to reach people where the regime's story is the only one told, starting with QR stickers that lead to the show and the site.
My take I like the cheap part and doubt the rest. A file any reader prints beats stickers made by the hosts, it should lead to a page that explains itself, and it must never ask anyone to take a risk where speaking up is a crime. That last part is the hard one.
A reader argues that a candidate with no Senate record should be graded only on matters a senator would actually vote on, and not on acts in a state office.
My take I'm not convinced. With no votes in Congress, what a candidate did in office back home is the best evidence of how they'd vote, and dropping it leaves only promises. But a state law weighing the same as a federal stand is a fair worry.
An item filed under the wrong subject, or a subject the room has no tag for, hides evidence from the person who needs it.
My take On the floor. Open retagging invites vandalism, so I'd start with the team retagging and readers flagging a wrong tag with the link under each item, which I fix the same day. Argue it here.
On air or in an argument, you need the strongest evidence for one claim in one place, fast, and the room makes you dig for it.
My take I like it, and it is what the room is for. The ask box already finds items by subject. A brief that ranks the best ones for a claim is the next step. Back it, and name the first claim you'd test it on.
Readers want to meet at events already happening near them, like an election night party, and the Gatherings board only lists what a member hosts.
My take On the floor. The way that works today: post it on the board as a gathering at that public place, link the group's own page, and go together. A list of other groups' events is something I'd have to vouch for, so argue it here.
Readers want to wear the cause, and some want to design for it.
My take Merch costs money up front and someone to run it, and with a few dozen readers it would sell little yet. I would start with the free sticker file and see who prints it.
Before the midterms, Americans who care about a free Iran want to find that one line fast.
My take Every member page already grades the regime in Iran on its own line. Making it the front door is a bigger move: the score is twelve measures. I lean toward a search on the front page that opens with the line on the regime. Argue it.
Good items in the Intel Room's last 24 hours drop off when the window moves, and nothing carries them into the bank.
My take Right problem. The room flags what looks worth keeping and a team member keeps it with one tap. The flag's test is Guy's: would this still matter in a year. Local breaking news that fades in a day stays out of the bank.
The races page shows each Senate race's Cook Political Report rating with its date, but no poll average and no market odds, so a reader cannot see how a race is moving day to day.
My take Worth doing for the close races. Polymarket odds are public and can be read daily, so they come first, with the time read. RealClearPolitics has no free feed.
Liberty Politics is spread across shows, the Intel Room, the records and other platforms, and nothing gathers them in one place a newcomer can read like a paper.
My take On the floor. I would start small: a weekly page that gathers the shows, the best Intel Room finds and the record changes. A full magazine with its own name and writers comes after people read that.
The room ranks a story by how many outlets carry it, so one readers care about that few cover sinks out of sight.
My take Lead with stories the room already holds plenty on while one side of the press stays quiet. Silence in the press is not thin material.
A reader asked for a radio station under the Liberty name, and a second post asked for it to reach Iran by drone.
My take The cheaper first step is the live shows as an audio feed anyone can play in a car or on a phone, with no licence or airtime to buy. A real station costs money every month, and flying anything into Iran's airspace is a military act, so satellite channels already do that job better.
A reader asked how to reach the Western viewers of a YouTube channel in Iran that pushes the regime's line, since comments under the videos go nowhere.
My take Comments get buried. Short answer videos on the same search words, and reports under YouTube's own rule on terrorist groups, seem stronger to me. If the room settles on a method it becomes a mission.
A YouTuber in Iran shows Western viewers a friendly face of the regime. Comments have not reached them. A reader suggests Armin or Ali Samani do a calm interview on his channel.
My take Right goal, wrong place, I think: he keeps the edit, and a man in Iran cannot speak freely on camera. A live debate nobody can cut reaches his viewers without handing him the frame.
A reader who writes to Congress asked for one place to reach every member, the way advocacy groups' letter pages do.
My take Yes. Writing to your own member is the cheapest act on the Act page. Each state and race page gets the member's own contact page, read from each member's official site.
Every one of these started as a reader's post.
Built: the Live results map. It reads North Carolina's and Nebraska's official results by itself every two minutes, shows each race's own time and source, marks numbers that stopped coming as stale, lists corrections, and puts every candidate's Liberty Score beside their count. See it
Built: Call the Midterms at the top of Who is running. Drag the mood of the country, call any race, run a pretend election night. See it
Two missions on the Missions page: come to a registration party and host one. No points for registering itself, which federal law bars. See it
Done. Every sign-up button and the first mission now say Create your account.
You were right. The headline now reads: A republic needs citizens. Not spectators.
Built, starting with California. See it
It shows the real number.
The list is headed Elections in, on every screen.
On a wide screen the box sits beside the posts.
On every politician page, from their own reports to the Federal Election Commission. See it
It looks like a second menu.
My take It is the door to the discussion on every page. I would rather make it look less like a menu. Tell me how.
A reader asked for survival tips for a hard winter.
My take No. This site grades politicians on liberty. Prep tips would be off its job.
Your opinion goes up whether I agree with it or not. I do not pick by side or by candidate.
These get removed: insults aimed at other readers, threats, adverts, anything private about anyone, a claim of fact about a person with nothing to back it, and anything that is not about the page it was posted on.
Every post has a Report button. When three readers report a post, it comes off the page until I have looked at it. I put it back if it is within these rules and remove it if it is not, whichever side it is on.
You need an account to post, to answer, to like or unlike, and to report. Reading needs nothing.
The name you choose is shown with what you post. Your email is never shown on the site and never passed on to anyone.
The account keeps your email, your name, what you posted, and what you liked, unliked or reported. If you tell me you make videos, it keeps that and the link to your channel. Other readers see how many likes a post has, never who gave them, and the author of a post cannot see who reported it. All of it, on one page.
"Email me news from Liberty Politics" is a box you can tick. It starts empty, and you can change it whenever you like. News is one email a week at most: the grades that moved, the votes that moved them, and one clip from the show.
To delete your account, tap your name at the top of any page, then "Delete my account". That removes what you posted, your likes and unlikes, and the account itself.
Volume. Ten notes saying a senator deserves an A change nothing. One note showing a vote I got wrong changes the grade as soon as I confirm it.
Say it where other readers can answer you. Opinions, videos and corrections about the War Room are all in one place.
Discussion
Ideas for this site and for the fight, in the open. Like a post to back it, reply to argue it. Wherever on the site you say it, it ends up here.
Leave out anything private about anyone. The rules, what your account keeps, and what readers have changed so far
