In today’s polarizing environment it can be hard to have thoughtful discussions between different ideologies. DTC is a matchmaker for people with political differences to find common ground through live conversations.
Good tableside manners
DTC is a unqiue place to share vibrant discussions around big topics. Our community embraces being super passionate and engaged… even if it makes us a little frightened or warm blooded. However, personal attacks, any form of discrimination, or just being a troll is not welcome. There’s zero tolerance for such bad behavior, and users can be banned based on flagged reporting. The golden rule is participants are expected to debate in good faith and be optimistic that others have viewpoints worth engaging in private conversation.
Bringing your best
Like any good home, the dining table is a place to talk about the things most important while still upholding the highest respect for others that attend.
Choose your character
You will control a virtual character that will talk as you talk, listen to your matched partner, and also represents your mood. There’s several characters to choose from that all have their own personality and style. Unlock new characters as you participate in more debates.
Select your topic
Get started by selecting a desired topic. Topics are selected via news trends, online discussions, and your vote in DTC polls. After picking the topic, gauge your position on this issue. For example, do you support more or less regulations on certain rifles? Our system will then match you with someone who holds a contrasting viewpoint.
Have meaningful conversations
We all have our own way of looking at the world. Sharing our thoughts and discoveries is more fun when we respectfully challenge each other. Maybe you can share a perspective that’s typically overlooked or can be persuaded to reframe your opinion. By connecting with more people, we can become better informed citizens.
