| What | - Stick to the Subject systemizes the electorate's participation in the democratic process. It brings ordinary people to the policy-making table through an organized process of independent study, face-to-face debate, and ranked-choice voting.
- It gets the participants best thinking on solutions to problems in housing, the cost of living, and other areas of concern.
- Stick's system has two interrelated operations: an in-person Discussion Society and its online Knowledge Base.
- The Society meet once a week for small group, round-table policy discussions called Conversation Sit-downs that are held across a network of public locations.
- The American Democracy Party's policy platform will be based on the results.
