During the upcoming election cycle, I have a feeling that page will heat up, and unfortunately it has reach (4.4k members).
This place becoming an echo chamber is extremely concerning to me and something I've been thinking a lot about lately. I'm going to do some thinking to find a way to reign it in. My early efforts to shitpost in the comments in order to keep the conversation going, at this point, may be too much
I think one way would be to keep bringing visibility to this Substack in the FB page to draw in broader audience and viewpoints.

The FB page is often just a place where people post links to relevant info and events, so might as well use it as a launching pad.
