This is not really how it works as far as US politics is concerned. Your best chance to voice your opinion to your Senator or Congress person is direct communications like written letters or phone calls. Show up to their “town hall” meetings if they do those. Digital communication, if you are lucky, will be read by a staffer and promptly trashed. Social media posts? - forget about it.
- Fairtalk 4y agoThat's just an example of what Fairtalk can eventually become and will either take decades or will simply never happen. Right now there's a growing frustration in the world because people feel like their voices are not being well represented or heard. This is why people go out to protest in the first place. Whenever someone protests, they'll be considered lucky to have their cardboard sign broadcasted on a popular television channel for only a few seconds. And how can you possibly convey your frustration and the message you want to share in only 3 to 5 words? It's simply impossible and there should be a better solution. We hope to make Fairtalk this new solution by giving everyone a fair chance to speak up instead of always having to release their anger on the streets.
