I’m in so many online groups and they always fade.

Hot take: it’s because there’s no Nick Fury assembling your Avengers of shared mission, so you never hit real value.

We need a “Nick Fury” agent that pulls aligned people into focused, private chats.

Texas primary results are coming in. The real story is how few people decided the outcomes.

200K+ people used this free AI ballot research tool on Reddit this cycle. I shared it too late — next round I'm starting earlier.

Follow for a heads up before the next one.

One hour. Polls close at 7.

If you're in line by 7pm, you WILL get to vote. Go now.

3 hours left. Texas polls close at 7pm.

You're not just picking between two people in November. You're deciding who those two people ARE.

Every seat — Senate, Governor, Congress, state legislature, judges, school board — is being decided by the ~12% who bother to show up.

Be part of that 12%.

Every election cycle voters are asked to weigh in on issues we're not familiar with.

So I made a tool for that. It's a Google Doc — open it, copy the prompt, paste it into any free AI chatbot, and it researches your specific candidates.

Works for any state. Share it.

Don't leave the propositions blank at the end of your TX ballot.

They're how your party decides what to fight for next session. Cannabis legalization. Property tax elimination. Redistricting reform. Public school funding.

Your yes or no shapes the platform. Full list:

Hot take: primaries matter more than general elections in most of the country.

In safely red or blue districts, the primary IS the election. Whoever wins today runs basically unopposed in November.

If you care about who actually governs, today is the day. Not November.

Texas votes today, but this isn't just a Texas thing.

I made a free AI tool that researches any ballot — voting records, donor history, policy trade-offs — based on your zip code.

If your state has upcoming elections, use it. Share it. Vote on evidence, not ads.

It asks what you care about, then looks up your candidates' actual voting records and donor history — not their campaign ads.

Last month a Democrat flipped a TX state Senate seat in a district Trump won by 17 points.

In 2022 a state rep won by a handful of votes out of 8,400 cast — then chaired a committee controlling which bills became law.

Primaries are where the real power is. Polls close at 7pm.

TX Democratic primary today: Medicaid expansion, cannabis legalization, reproductive rights, public school funding, nonpartisan redistricting.

Republican ballot: property tax elimination, term limits, water exports, and more.

Don't skip the propositions at the end of your ballot.

Your vote tomorrow is worth 5-10x what it'll be in November. Here's what's actually on your primary ballot.

Tomorrow is the Texas primary. Only 12% of voters have shown up so far.

Your vote tomorrow is worth 5-10x what it'll be in November.

I used AI to research every race on the ballot — and made a free tool so you can do the same for your zip code.

Yes I’d trust it to summarize and give me highlights, not make ethical decisions. The making up facts is still a thing (albeit improving) but you can argue social media is no better at being factual.

I can barely keep up to know how exactly I’d vote but at least researching is less painful now.

I’m more concerned by the fact that money predicts campaign success more than anything else.

What did your congressman vote on and do they represent you? Do citizens check facts or just ads and yard signs?

If politicians keep their jobs solely from fundraising, guess who they care about most?

Yeah fair, either way we still don’t know how to control whatever’s in the box yet. I’m not running AI browsers and agents if there’s a real chance it leaks my info or gets hijacked to ignore instructions.

Am hoping that using AI for news instead of relying on social media makes a dent in misinformation but most ppl aren’t yet

Honest question - is it more effective to tackle dark money in US politics or ensure fair election access?

Or something else - how do we get our politicians to act in our interests (and not in the interests of rich donors who fund their campaigns to get their jobs)?

The safeguards don’t work - guardrails don’t work and no leading AI lab has figured out how to control the God in a box.

Hi, how do ppl find information on who PAC donors are? I didn’t think it was publicly available.
