Our mission is to strengthen democracy by giving citizens a simple, trustworthy way to understand public policy and make their voices heard. We provide clear, nonpartisan information about proposed legislation at the local, state, and federal levels and enable people to express their views through structured feedback and voting. By transparently aggregating public opinion and showing how it compares with government decisions, we aim to create a reliable civic feedback loop that helps communities stay informed, encourages broader participation, and promotes greater accountability and responsiveness in public decision-making.
This is a good idea. Curious about two things: this tool is not useful unless lots of people use it, how will you promote it? Add (2) assuming it does become popular how will you control astroturfing?
You need way more transparency, who are you, who is funding this, what incentives exist for the participants, where does the data go, can it get hacked, bribed?
There very fact that "should there be a state income tax at the very top" is partisan due to Overton window effects
Obviously ideally better information processing feedback loops will help but the smart people already know how to game the system and literally do not care about non selectorate people opinions. The mediocre people will float along and not care as this creates more work to do with almost 0 percent chance that anything actually changes.
You're better off going for 100% voter participation to get more people in the selectorate
John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson all wrote about using pseudonyms when discussing policy, procedures, and ideas.
Not seeing any support for that.
