If you’re reading this left column because you consider yourself liberal, the answer probably is “no.” 

If you’re reading this left column because you consider yourself conservative but want to avoid 'echo-chamber' news and politics, an explanation of Stephen Macaulay’s right-column might be in order. Macaulay is The Hustings’ pundit-at-large and as such he has written for both left and right columns. He’s written commentary for the right column, mostly, though as a never-Trumper, Macaulay has commented from this left column opposite pro-Trump and formerly pro-Trump contributors. 

The Hustings encourages you to comment on this issue so we can continue the conversation in these columns. When you comment to editors@thehustings.news, please let us know whether your political philosophy puts you to the left or to the right of the news items and issues of the center column. 

While you’re here, don’t forget to scroll down to read our flash debate on whether the January 6 Capitol insurrection was a “dress rehearsal” for what President Trump and his supporters might have planned for 2024. Note that while The Hustings strives for fair and equal political discourse, we are unabashedly pro-democracy.
