D521646 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) They might not admit it, but a new app designed to give constituents easier access to their elected officials might just give your congressional member nightmares. Countable is a new social media app that gives voters a simple, concise and fast way to interact with their representatives. Countable “seeks to give citizens a greater voice in national politics,” Wired reported. “The company’s online service, which launches to the public today, gives you a simple and concise overview of the bills your national representatives are debating, and it lets you instantly send emails to these representatives, telling them how you would... http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/05/15/this-new-app-could-be-your-congressmans-worst-nightmare/ Hehehe. I like it! Tim- Edited May 15, 2014 by D521646
OCinBuffalo Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Ah...fresh PPP meat! Welcome to the suck(and troll, and suck, and troll). It would be a great idea...but it's dependent on 2 things: 1. Like every other app, (or, like every thread here)the knowledge/intelligence of the user. 2. Whether said "simple and concise view" is actually accurate or, biased crap. The better way to do it: 2 simple and concise views, one for both sides, provided that they exist...and one party isn't playing politics with their side of the issue. In that case, it's 1 simple and concise view, and one "assclowns". Also....does this app have a Harry Reid feature? What exactly is the "simple and concise" view of taking 0 bills from the House up for a vote, never mind sending any of them to comittee? Frankly: This app won't be able to operate as designed, until Harry Reid is no longer in control of the Senate.
D521646 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 OC - Hear you on the Reid comment.. By the way I already like you based solely on your thrashing of our mutual best bud Jauronimo that stupid gay thread upstairs. Oh, and I assure you that this isn’t my first rodeo on internet political message boards. This one is a little unique though. Seems they allow a lot more than what I’m used too. Not sure I’m going to be able to contain myself. Thanks for the welcome! Tim-
Jauronimo Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Glad you found a friend. Now with more blank space!
D521646 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 We're not best buds...Yet! I tend to be more of an acquired taste. Tim-

I like Jauronimo....but that doesn't mean I won't use him, like I did in that thread, to draw out the phony "Look at me! I'm so morally superior! I support gay marriage!" clowns. And why? For the lulz. We get enough phony watching 1 hour of news. We don't need it here. Dis is teh interwebs. We is smartz.
D521646 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah, I don’t really dislike anyone either, I mean, why? It’s just the internetz.. Everyone has their moments of profound stupidz, AND, every once in a while, moments of lucid logic, enough to make you go, “heck he has a point”. Tim-
