So below are the finalists gathered from the past week's submissions to /liberal, and in a day or two all the comments below in support of one or more of the finalists will be tallied (saying more than one person is awesome is fine), and we'll announce the first "Liberal of the Week".Īny questions, comments, criticism, suggestions, by all means leave them below or message the moderators this is still very new so we're trying to figure out how to do it, and any input you have is much appreciated. While it is fine to highlight what the other side is screwing up, it is also important to highlight what we're doing right, or trying to do right, and that's what "Liberal of the Week" is about. The 'finalists' for this contest are selected from submissions to /Liberal made in the last week or so, and the general idea is to highlight a regular pattern of accomplishment and positive acts. We're trying something new in /Liberal, something called "Liberal of the Week." It is a way of recognizing or highlighting a liberal (be they elected, unelected member of government, or ordinary citizen) actually doing something liberals widely consider as good.
