Participants can quote or reply to an existing statement when creating a new statement, making it easier to build on someone else's contribution. The quoted statement remains visible as context, helping follow-up ideas, refinements, counterpoints, and clarifications stay connected to what prompted them.
This should preserve the structured statement-and-vote model rather than becoming a generic comment thread. The exact UX and data model are to be explored, including how quoted context appears in the composer, statement view, feed, and analysis surfaces.
The goal is to enable "improving" upon a statement, and explaining "why" one vote in a certain way, while avoiding the infamous troll wars and diversion that reply trees produce.
