That may sound a bit desperate … begging, even. But no, this is not a plea for a cash contribution. No sustaining monthly draws from your debit card here. Rather, it is a plea for your comments. The Hustings is designed to foster civil commentary from the politically curious, as well as hard-core political animals from the right and the left. From pro-MAGA and anti-Trump. From moderates and progressives, with no echo chambers, no false equivalencies.

Compare this to the sort of news & commentary feeds you’ll find at X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and the struggles to counter X’s extremes at Bluesky.

Email your comments on the political news/news aggregate in the center column, and/or to other comments in the left or right columns, including never-Trumper Pundit-at-Large Stephen Macaulay’s right-column comments, or even current political news or an issue you think we’ve missed, to editors@thehustings.news and please indicate your political leanings – left or right – in the subject line. Because like Macaulay, the content of your comments might not easily indicate your political leanings. As much as anything else, it’s that political POV diversity we relish.
