Napster co-founder, former Facebook president and apparent Justin Timberlake doppelgänger Sean Parker unveiled Brigade, his much-anticipated social network for politics on Wednesday to Politico.

The project is Parker’s latest step in transitioning towards political tech, which included the launch of idea lab Economic Innovation Group in March. Brigade started operations in April of last year, and has since expanded to a staff of 50, including 30 programmers.

According to Politico, the unveiling entails a limited launch with watered down features and an invitation-only beta stage. Parker says that once they have figured out the kinks, the Brigade team will be ready to add on additional tools and options in time for the 2016 elections.

Brigade intends to get people comfortably talking politics online, a problem Parker says he’s been thinking about since his time with Facebook. On Facebook, “you obey a certain set of social rules on the kinds of things you share or don’t,” Parker told Politico. “When it comes to your civic identity or your political identity or your charitable identity, frankly you don’t want to express that side of yourself on Facebook. It’s not the right medium to do it.”

A Pew Research study from last year corroborates Parker’s evaluation of political activity on Facebook. The study, which investigated willingness to discuss NSA surveillance, found that Americans were half as likely to engage in political discussions on social media than in person.

Brigade provides a “snackable and simple” platform for users to talk politics, Parker told Politico. The site asks users to take stances on a variety of issues and sub-issues with easy Y/N responses. Current topics include “The government should make tuition free to those students who work to cover their living expenses,” and “Desalination could solve California’s water shortage,” Politico reports.

Users’ stances then appear on a “position-taking ribbon” which is a sort of news feed for stances/topics, and users can compare their political opinions with those of their friends. In a trial with 13,000 testers, users took an average of 90 “stances,” according to Politico.

Though stances may seem thoughtless, it is intended to spark deeper political discussions. Users can give details on the logic behind their political preferences and then engage in conversations to try and convince others.

Many of the issues on Brigade are specific enough that they cease to be partisan

Based on a user’s ability to attract followers to a specific stance they will receive an “Impact Score,” which Parker described to Politico as the “basic currency of the site.” Brigade also intends to partner with advocacy groups and political candidates, presumably in order to match users with similarly thinking politicians and keep users engaged in political changes.

One of the challenges that Brigade faces will be acquiring a variety of perspectives on its issues. If opinions are slanted too heavily towards one side, discussions will become stale and users will become disinterested. Luckily, many of the issues on Brigade are specific enough that they cease to be partisan, which should help ensure a balance in stances.

Parker hopes that his site will have an impact on political participation in the United States, telling Politico, “if we can only move the needle by a couple points, in terms of voter turnout and engagement, that changes outcomes.”
