Wiley from 🇺🇸Populist here, We built this product to contribute to a more transparent and accessible Democracy for all. Right now, there is far too much apathy and distrust in our elected officials and we want that to change. Populist is a tool for both education and action that seeks to improve civic engagement through the use of technology. Our first offering is a digital ballot tool for the state of Colorado, where you can research, comment on, and endorse the candidates who are currently running for office. You can create and share voting guides to help bring your friends and family out to the polls to support the causes that matter most. This is only the beginning as we are actively seeking funding to expand our offering to all 50 states and beyond. Populist empowers voters with the information they need to make informed decisions about voting and provides a channel for its users to actively participate in government and help shape the future. Join us in bringing democracy back to the people! All the best, Wiley
