I mean, that pales in comparison to the power the government has. And our government (in the US at least) is clearly not democratic (DNC rigged their primary to prevent Bernie from winning... we have an election between Trump & Biden an

Sure! Newsletters get shared on HN + Reddit. I'm also posting on LinkedIn. I've also done some paid ads using Facebook ads and doing ads in other newsletters.
