Introduction

I own the domain name MajorNews.com. I am interested in developing a web site using (open source) tied to Steemit and maybe other platforms with monetary rewards. I have 1000+ ideas about how this could work, but the #1 thing you must do when developing a new web site is find out what interests people the most. If I added all 1000+ ideas, it would be a bit overwhelming.

Looking for anyone who wants to be part of our team. Graphic artists, programmers, idea people, marketers, entrepreneurs, investors ... ??? ... Comment your interest and area(s) of expertise.

Summary: A whacko nut job stole votes from the Dems. Enough to sway the election and put it out of reach of forcing a recount. We won't know the actual results for 11 days when the absentee ballots are counted.

Use a scale of 0 to 10
0 = absolutely not
5 = kind of
10 = absolutely yes

Yes, No

  Example: The Dems have lost their support because of the way Clinton and the head Dems rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders.
