Swipe for Opposition: Swiping right on a Pole reveals another Pole on the same topic but with an opposing viewpoint, helping users understand different perspectives. Learn More: Each Pole comes with a Learn More button that: Identifies the topic being discussed. -Provides an unbiased description of the issue. -Explains why the topic is politically contentious, giving users context to form their own opinions.
