One App, Four Doors
Use whichever door is yours. They all run the same app over the same record, and none of them can show you a different set of facts about a politician than another one shows.
One app, one record
Five addresses, one piece of software:
| Door | For | Address |
|---|---|---|
| We The Citizens | everyone; the cross-party door | WeTheCitizens.io |
| We The Citizens R | Republicans | WeCitizensR.com |
| We The Citizens D | Democrats | WeCitizensD.com |
| We The Citizens L | Libertarians | WeCitizensL.com |
| We The Citizens S | Democratic Socialists | WeCitizensSocialism.com |
The edition is decided by the address you arrived on. Not four products, not four deployments, not four data sets — one app rendered five ways.
The consequence is the part worth holding on to: the awards are computed once, party-blind. No edition re-weights anything, and no edition can present a friendlier version of a voting record to its own audience. If a member of Congress earns a Monkey Award, they earn the same one behind every door, including their own party's.
What each door is for
The party doors are where a community does its own work: its own plans, its own laws, its own priorities, in its own vocabulary. Each one is written from that audience's own messaging and from nothing else.
No door is written to mirror another. They are not pairs, none is another's reflection, and a door may carry areas the others do not. Four audiences with four sets of priorities produce four different shapes, and that is the intended result rather than a defect to be reconciled.
What lives only on a party door
This .io door is deliberately narrower. The following exist only on the .com doors:
- Partisan plans, and the partisan laws and fix-it bills a community wants added.
- The political-spectrum vote that matches a citizen to candidates who fit where they sit.
- The board of directors.
- The yearly strategic conference.
- Trust-score voting. The roll-up here is read only — see Trust Scores.
- Religious framing, on the one door whose own messaging carries it. No religion is named on this door or on the other three.
Find your door
- You identify with a party. Go to its door and do the work there. That is where your plans, your laws and your trust votes live.
- You do not, or the problem is bigger than a party. Stay here. This door is for the capture that damages both bases at once, and for the cross-party decisions the formal apparatus in Washington has not made. See Why A Non-Partisan Site.
- You want to see who is running in your seat. Any door does this, and every door shows you the strongest challenger for that seat who is not from your side as well as the one who is. See Replacing Captured Incumbents.
What is not in this area
The messaging of any single party door. That is written on that door, from that door's own messaging file.
