Why Isn't There a One-Pager for Every Politician's Performance?

2•moeenmiri•8mo ago
Just dumping a thought here — I’d love to see a world where we can objectively evaluate politicians based on their goals, promises, and actions. We’re way past the point of relying on biased news outlets or viral social media clips to form opinions. With today’s tech and LLMs, we should be able to track political figures and hold them accountable.

As someone with a data engineering background, I imagine a simple one-pager dashboard for any politician or political group — showing what topics they focus on and how they’re actually performing. The public deserves that. Right now, most people make emotional decisions based on what they hear in the news or see online. That’s not a healthy trajectory.

Why don't they undersign a contract like when we take a loan from banks?

I agree. With the recent Canadian election (and provincial election), I was kind of overwhelmed by the sheer number of ads being sent my way, and how he said/she said the debates were at some points.

I kind of just need a summary of: 1. Bills proposed/supported/rejected 2. Search bar to summarize their opinion/policy on a topic I care about (throw in citations for good measure) 3. A searchable version of their manifesto along with their party's

Honestly, this feels too complex. The UX should be much simpler for the average person. Instead of listing votes on individual bills, a brief summary would be way more useful—I don’t have time to look up each bill one by one.

Might try Voteview for Congressional members. Here is a summary for Kamala Harris

TLDR: It should be much easier to get quick insights. Like I mentioned in my other comment, just listing vote history isn’t enough—most people won’t take the time to dig into each bill and tally votes. Why not have an AI agent summarize a politician’s stance based on their voting record? Also, I’d love to see these tools include what politicians say in media and on social platforms, so they’re held accountable not just for what they do, but also what they say.
