The Story So Far...
The fix is in. News media, social media, and almost everything else with media in the name skews far left of center. This is no accident. The powerful and wealthy push their point of view by making progressive and liberal ideology look like the only viable option. People in the middle are told everything good is to the left. People on the right find it hard to connect with others, and find constant shame. Honest conversations are forbidden, exchanged for platitudes and rhetoric.
Social media plays the biggest role in the transformative charade. Moderate and conservative opinions, favorable news, leaders, and friends disappear. Twitter calls this endeavor "e;shadow banning"e; internally. Google has a team dedicated to massaging search results. Facebook culls 80% of content you request every day, and you can guess what makes it to the top of their list for filtering. If you lean right of Bernie Sanders, you know exactly what I am talking about.
RightOfBernie is different. We use technology to help you find what you want to find. We encourage the conversations you want to have. For this reason, we may not extend into the UK, as they have no pretense of Freedom of Speech, and want to regulate conversation. But, assuming you live in a place where humans are allowed to converse, you are invited to join. Everyone is welcome. Especially progressives. Our goal is for technology to help you find what you ask for, and then get out of the way of your conversations. Treating the middle and right with respect is a bold new step for social media.
We are just getting started now. A crowdfunding page is coming soon, so you can give us an indication of how interested you are in a social media platform void of political agenda. This platform can be for us. The 70% who don't identify as "always progressive" or "always liberal".
I can't wait to start talking with you. If you want to get involved, let us know!
