You make it look like those people are really invested in democracy so they wanted to build an app to make people vote, were looking for organisations to help them and only found help in organisations from the left. But, most likely, they were leftists to begin with and created these seemingly neutral apps to push the dem vote.
As an example just look at the Twitter feed of "Naseem Makiya", the founder of Outvote, one of the apps discussed in the NYT article: https://twitter.com/nmakiya https://twitter.com/nmakiya
And then "Mikey Dickerson", the founder of VoteWithMe: https://twitter.com/mikeydickerson https://twitter.com/mikeydickerson -- In fact look at all the bios of the people behind VoteWithMe! https://newdataproject.us/team.html https://newdataproject.us/team.html
- matt4077 8y agoIs there a specific reason you're putting these people's names in scary-looking quotation mark? Because those seem to be their actual names.
- tarento 8y agoScary-looking? I'm just highlighting the names because this forum does not have boldface.
- learc83 8y agoUse italics for that by surrounding them with *.
- astura 8y agoQuote aren't used for highlighting text in the English language, that's considered incorrect usage. The quotes you used are interpreted as what's called "scare quotes" to the majority of people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes > they were leftists to begin with and created these seemingly neutral apps to push the dem vote. They are open about the purpose of the apps, to encourage young progressives to vote.
