But besides new software applications and better debating formats, we also need something else, namely a raised awareness among the public what a great problem politicians' careless attitude to the truth is. They should ask themselves: are people inclined to mislead the voters really suited to shape the future of the world?

I watched the beginning of your annotation of the Republican debate. I think you did a good job at annotating it. The annotations add to the experience of watching the debate, which is likely the most important thing for making it impactful.

There were a few technical issues where the annotation freezed and didn't update (I'm using Firefox).

Thanks! What device did you use? It is working poorly on phones, but we hoped it would work fine on computers. Thanks for pointing this out.

I use a notebook where a 24 inch monitor is plugged in.
