Rethinking Elections: Can Technology Give Citizens More Power? with Tom Joseph

In this episode, we sit down with Tom Joseph, founder of America’s Main Street Party, to explore a different way of thinking about elections, political participation, and the role technology can play in giving everyday citizens a stronger voice.Tom is building a moneyless nominating system where candidates rise through public support rather than relying primarily on campaign dollars or traditional party endorsements. His approach, called the People’s Primary, is designed to create a more open and competitive process where citizens have a greater say in who moves forward.We talk about civic innovation, technology, political participation, election reform, and what it could look like to create a system that puts citizens at the center rather than power brokers and wealthy donors.Whether you agree with Tom’s approach or simply want to understand how technology could reshape civic participation, this conversation offers plenty to think about.#TomJoseph #CivicInnovation #ElectionReform #Technology #Leadership #PoliticalInnovation #Entrepreneurship #CivicEngagement #Democracy #Podcast #PodMatch
