Jealous? Of what? Another half-ass workaround for fixing the ADD problem of the voting populace?

- ile 15y agoAt least you admitted it fixes a problem.
- ddkrone 15y agoIn fact I think it does the opposite. This doesn't fix anything. It makes the problem worse. In our current politics there is absolutely no real dialog between the politicians and people. Blasting twitter updates and facebook status updates to your followers is the shallowest kind of follower engagement because even though everyone can retweet and comment on those status updates no one really does any real communicating in those mediums. For a guy who claims to want to fix the political landscape this is clearly a step in the wrong direction.
- bdclimber14 15y agoYou're obviously very passionate about politics. What's your background, and how are you going to fix the problem?
- ddkrone 15y agoIt's not about being passionate about politics and my background is in mathematics and cs, two of the least political subjects out there. If I was going to devote time and effort to doing anything political then it certainly wouldn't be about empowering the marketing/spin machine used by politicians. I would instead focus on tools to empower individual citizens and give them the tools to fight back the spin machine. This doesn't do anything of the sort.
- bdclimber14 15y agoI think that's a productive approach.
- ile 15y agoOk, well, at least you are now saying something. But it may very well fix/improve the situation. We will have to wait and see. I think it's an interesting trial at least.
- rymngh 15y agoThis guy sounds like an asshole. If he is so concerned about the current state of affairs he should write an application and show the world real problem solving concepts. Instead he rages about something and in the end pretends to be smarter than he actually is.
