As official Washington enjoys a not-very-quiet summer recess while the 2024 presidential election heats up, The Hustings hopes to do what it can to build readership and foster civil discussion and debate of news and politics in a safe, comfortable online space. 

We are not social media. We are civil media. We invite you to comment on political news and issues whether you lean left or right. Your liberal or conservative perspective, expressed with civility will appear in the left or right column, as appropriate. It’s a bit like tweeting – or exxing – your opinion but without echo chambers, fear of personal attacks from the other side or exposure to extreme left or right groupa. 

Let’s build a community of Citizen Pundits with conservative and liberal perspectives expressed with civility all on the same page.

Please read the right column to learn how to add your comments.
