Oh yeah I remember now you messaged me you were participating in local elections at the time :)

What I want do is inspire ordinary citizens in every state to believe in their own power again and take action where they live.

That is a noble goal! I would like to help do the same in whatever way I can.

I have an idea to help with people taking power back (I may have shared it with you before). It involves making an open-source reddit-like forum site like this communities.win, except it would be organized a little differently.

Each "Subreddit" would be broken up with a National subreddit, Individual States "Subreddit", County "Subreddit", and town "subreddit". It would originally be set up for US states.

In each of these "Subreddits" would be a list of your past politicians, politicians currently in office, and most importantly politicians running for office in that "Subreddit" area. Users would post sourced material (videos, documents, articles, etc.) about these politicians and get "reputation" and "crypto tips" for posting useful information about these politicians.

There would need to be a way to control bots (Or labeling/identifying them) and one of the ways I can think of is each account having an encrypted decentralized ID on a blockchain. In these decentralized IDs being developed, nobody can see your ID but you and whoever you share with. You can do a handshake with a smart contract program to prove you have an ID with some kind of history in your ID without the smart contract recording anything and you giving any information to a anyone on the other end. This will slow down bots considerably and keep users private and secure.

There might also be bots made on the site to identify bots but I think that'd be much more complicated to make happen, it'd be an arms race all the time of making a better bot and could also be a backdoor for a rogue mod setting up spam bots to mess up the site.

Every user would get a multi-blockchain crypto wallet (probably linking to an open source wallet already made that can hold many different cryptos). This would be in order to use crypto to "tip" posts and receive that crypto.

The front page would show top posts on National politics and any top posts for states/areas trending that day. There would be a nice clean way to set up what regions are of interest to you, with or without an account (likely fill out some kind of checkbox and the regions you save will make a specific website link when you don't have an account).

People would be motivated with "reputation" and "crypto tips" to post about their politicians and keep everyone held accountable.

If the site grows considerably, mods would be randomly selected (possibly by "reputation" or just straight randomly) and recycled over a short period of time (week/month) based on completing some kind mod "best practices" certificate (could be an NFT for easily identifying).

There would be an open source website for saving deleted posts on this forum so if people believe that nefarious mods are blocking information, people would be able to find and save the deleted posts. There would be some kind of way of punishing a mod reputation for being nefarious (or a simple way to make a new subreddit of the same region

There would be instructions for any regular joe to use the open-source code and set up their own site like the proposed site so in case the site gets corrupted or goes down, anyone could come in and set up another like it.

Site would have to start with the National side and go more local as more people use the site and vote for that area to be opened up (haven't quite gotten thought this through how to implement this yet).

If a decentralized ID system is successful enough at keeping out bots and fairness in the system, there could also be a DAO set up for users to vote on changes of the site set. Setting up a crypto specific site coin would bring the wrong type of people and not recommended, if it's worth it people would start tipping in whatever crypto they want.

Prior to Prohibition in the US, the primary way people found out about their politicians (national, state, and local) was by going over to the local pub. This was a decentralized way to disseminate information and it kept the politicians in check since they couldn't control ever bar. So politicians banned alcohol, shutting down the bars, and cutting off the main source of communication of the community, giving the politicians free reign and taking away the public's brain center and memory.

Republicans first start proposing prohibition in the 1890's and this is the only reason Democrats ever took back any political control after the Civil War. From there it has been a slow but snowballing decline as Democrats and Globalists have taken more and more power over the years and destroyed the community, culture, economy, and more.
