Polis is a simple component

Isn’t Polis not a deliberation support system? Polis feels like “a simple component” and not something to discuss on its own

• I think it’s supposed to be used before or between discussions to break “assumption”
• For example.
  • I was surprised to find that there were different opinions on things I thought were “Yes, of course everyone says Yes.
  • I was thinking, “I’m more or less Yes, but I think it’s controversial,” only to find out that everyone agrees with me and there’s no need to discuss it.
• The image that topping Polis with “discussion” makes it easier to become a “deliberative” discussion.

Conversely, the Stanford Online Deliberation Platform we experienced this time was like a “huge platform that contains everything”.

• Decidim probably does too.
