Populist Plank Candidate Endorsement Process

Populist Plank Work
1

Instead of posting under the Op Hope meeting brief I thought I’d chip in here since it’s only regarding the Plank.

1-When a candidate signs on to the Plank can we have a box for them to check to distinguish themselves as a candidate? Would be easier than scouring for the # , but I’m sure some would still fail to click the box.

2-Volunteers to monitor socials, can someone smarter than me program a bot to scan for the # or the phrase once or twice a day? Probably still a lot to sift through, but I’ve seen what you software engineers can do!

3-graphics kit / “I support” assets. Maybe someone artistic can make a logo to put at the bottom of a candidate’s picture?

4-TYT site master list- no notes :+1:t3:

Stay strong everyone!

Additional idea, monitors so that we don’t end up with another Fetterman. I don’t think anyone wants to get their progressive hopes crushed like that again.
