Shining a light on divisiveness
The Civil Discourse Project is building a candidate rating system trusted by voters across the political spectrum. Our non-partisan technology platform flags divisive language and rates candidates for political office based on their level of divisive rhetoric.
Our core values
-
Transparent.
Our rules for flagging divisive content are explicitly stated. Users can see how each score is derived and dispute assessments they disagree with.
-
Non-partisan.
A candidate’s rating is based solely on the language they use, and is not affected by their policy positions and ideology.
-
Accessible.
We are committed to making our data easily accessible & empowering people from all backgrounds to participate in the ratings process.
