Dot color shows party (red = Republican, blue = Democrat, gray = independent) — the same party-score color language used everywhere else on the site. Dashed outline = not enough directed statements yet for one axis (plotted at the midpoint rather than guessed). Position updates automatically as new rhetoric is scored — it isn’t hand-placed.
