Provides one sided political engagement
I downloaded the “5 Calls” app hoping to engage more actively with my representatives and advocate for issues I care about. While the app is easy to use and provides helpful scripts for contacting elected officials, I noticed that most of the call scripts and suggested actions seem to align primarily with Democratic viewpoints.
For example, the app encourages users to urge senators to vote in favor of progressive policies, but it doesn’t appear to provide options for those who might support more conservative or Republican-aligned positions. This lack of ideological balance makes the app feel less inclusive for users across the political spectrum.
I would love to see the developers include a broader range of viewpoints to ensure that all users feel empowered to participate in the democratic process, regardless of their political beliefs. This would make the app more valuable and accessible to a wider audience.
