I made an app that tracks bills in Congress, who they help or hurt, and what ultimately happened to them. Still pulling in data, but I’d be interested in people’s thoughts.

    Studies like this have already been done. It doesn’t matter what demographic you belong to, except one, you get what you want about a third of the time.

    That last demographic is donors; they get what they want over 90% of the time.

    Mystery long solved. But, good science is repeatable, so keep going for the sake of rigor.

    You need an app for that?

    I’ll tell you who Congress is looking out for: billionaire pedophiles. And it’s been like that since Reagan (although they were just multimillionaires and not pedophiles back then I guess…)

      you’re not wrong. I think it’s more like hard proof/receipts you can use for people who don’t understand that

        I’m not sure what more hard proof you need: people struggle to make ends meet and pay for gas while a handful of ultra-rich fucks build themselves doomsday bunkers and spaceships to leave the Earth - I guess because there aren’t any paradise islands left on Earth to diddle children in peace.

        The only proof anybody needs is when they pay at the pump or at the grocery store.
