Political Social Network Epistocracy to Revolutionize Individual Voter Experience in Democratic Process
Social Platform designed to help users get more out of their political involvement and avoid the left vs. right dichotomy
Austin, Texas — Epistocracy, LLC President, Brandon Siegenfeld, announced today the launch of Epistocracy.com an innovative political social network designed to facilitate change in the democratic process by connecting voters, influencers, grassroots organizations and elected officials on issues of mutual interest. The new political social platform will officially launch during the Texas Tribune Festival taking place at the University of Texas-Austin campus on September 23–25.
“Epistocracy.com users can connect with like-minded individuals who share their same values and points of view, and together they can directly influence countless others on the issues that are most important to them and their communities,” said Brandon Siegenfeld. “At Epistocracy.com you are not limited to a rigid ideological framework or party platforms. You are an individual with unique views. Epistocracy.com allows you to examine each standalone issue and take a stance.”
Epistocracy.com users begin by selecting positions on a variety of issues including the Economy, Taxes and Budget, Healthcare, Immigration, Foreign Policy and much more. As users begin to take a stand on issues important to them, they connect with others who share similar stances. Connections become supporters, who may adopt any of their political stances. As users build their network of supporters, they build influence. When these supporters align their stances with others the users influence grows. The result? Individuals are able to mobilize people the way massive political institutions do — without spending massive resources to do it.
Through Epistocracy.com, users have the power to build a community of supporters and influence public policy. Whether it’s one issue or many, on Epistocracy.com, individuals can become leaders or support community leaders, elected officials or others who share their views.
“Everyone has a viewpoint and the potential to affect change. But as it stands today, individuals are forced to choose between only a few parties for unified action which means that people with different views on different issues converge under big umbrellas that represent only a part of their political identity,” said Siegenfeld. “Their voices become diluted, and less powerful. That’s how we currently create unified political action. We can do better and that’s why we created Epistocracy.com.”
