Rebooting the Democratic Party

Fleshing out an idea I presented on Scripting News on July 11.

Next time there's a Big Beautiful Bill, let's set up a ChatGPT project or equivalent to injest new versions of the bill as they come out, and quickly alert us to issues, and also suggest ways to frame it for the electorate and the press. We have new analytical tools, we should use them. We're only now, far after it's too late, finding out the awful things that the BBB going to do to us. The Repubs planned this out far in advance. They probably even had software tools to advise them on ways to word the bill as the changes were negotiated.

So this isn't just about rebooting the Democratic Party, it's also about rebooting the news.

We ask the voters, all Democrats, to rank their issues. And to elaborate on why these are their issues, for example you could say health care is important because you have a chronic disease you need treatment for, or the cost of education, climate change, freedom, whatever -- literally whatever your issues are, with the ability to customize.

This can work now because of AI. We can really get to know the voters. And what do we do with this? It's beautiful. When news comes out we can explain it in simple terms based on what your personal concerns are. And notice the information flows both ways. And you can flame all you want, the chatbot really doesn't care.

We have to go this way. No more 1000 page bills passed overnight and signed into law the next day. In fact we should ahve been prepared for the last one. We keep missing the windows, and it's had bad results to say the least.
