4-level Political Pulse: Category → Issue → Desired Change → Raw Conversations. Classified from WhyIVote weekly scrape (Reddit, X, Mastodon, news RSS, etc.). Heat priors from WhyIVote_20_Issues_Heat_Scores_Updated_2026-08-13. Not a scientific poll — conversation activity only. Prefer phrasing like “of classified conversations about this issue…” — never “X% of Americans believe…” without a valid poll.
