How it works
Two scoreboards. Never mixed.
The Public Vote measures how many people hold a position. Conviction measures how strongly. Combining them would let money move the headline number, so we never do it.
Read the balanced summary
Each debate opens with a neutral explanation, three arguments for each side, and the sources behind them.
Cast one free vote
Every verified user gets exactly one free YES or NO vote per debate. It cannot be bought, boosted or repeated.
Add conviction, optionally
Conviction Points express how strongly you hold your position. They are reported in a separate scoreboard.
Make the case
Paid tiers unlock a public argument. Community reactions — not spend — decide which arguments rank at the top.
