1. A computer-implemented system for electoral and legislative consensus building within a web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet, comprising:
a server configured for processing, managing, retrieving, updating, and storing data of elections and legislation to offset and replace traditional, technologically obsolete dissensus-producing political processes with computer-based, electronic political consensus-building;
said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet configured for providing access to a plurality of computer-based user devices operated by user/voters and self-selecting groups of the user/voters;
searchable databases comprised of written legislative priorities from which each user/voter can select their own legislative priorities;
a computer-based user interface/user experience (UX/UI) for providing the user/voters access to the web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet;
a computer-based graphical user interface to the said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet to assist user/voters learn how to use the political consensus-building Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology of said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet to build consensus online to define legislative priorities;
digital tools to assist the user/voters of said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet learn how to use electronic methods to define, share, and debate their legislative priorities with each other and set common legislative agendas;
a searchable corpus of data of elections and legislation, the searchable corpus of data comprising repositories of laws, legislative proposals, deliberations, lawmakers' votes, policy evaluations, and information describing the user/voters choices of legislative priorities, legislative agendas and consensus building activities, user/voters consensus-building stories, and political consensus-building content from social media, newspapers and journals;
an online voting utility that self-selecting groups of user/voters can access via the said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet in order to vote on legislative priorities to include in common legislative agendas;
decision-assisting Artificial Intelligence and question-answering Machine Learning technology configured to provide decision support to user/voters to assist user/voters in defining user/voter legislative priorities, by posing queries to the Machine Learning technology in natural language to obtain answers containing a plurality of legislative priorities with information for user/voters fact-checking, evaluating, debating, and selecting by voting when defining legislative priorities and setting common legislative agendas; and
online consensus-building voting blocs, political parties, and electoral coalitions hosted on the web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet formed by user/voters with common agendas,
wherein said web-based political consensus-building social network on the Internet is further configured to allow user/voters to:
select legislative priorities using three methods, the three methods comprising:
a first method for individual user/voters legislative agenda-setting, wherein an authorized user/voter can define any number of legislative priorities in their own words and add their priorities to a searchable Database of individual user/voters legislative priorities and user stories for storing, retrieving, updating, sharing, comparing and contrasting with other authorized user/voters priorities;
a second method for individual user/voters legislative agenda setting wherein authorized user/voters can enter keywords into a drop-down window describing their interests, and legislative priorities; search the said Database of individual user/voters legislative priorities and user/voters stories to obtain a list of priorities selected by other user/voters that match their interests, and priorities; evaluate priorities; define their own priorities in their own words; and add their priorities to the said Database of individual user/voters legislative priorities and user/voters stories for storing, retrieving, updating, sharing, comparing and contrasting with other authorized user/voters priorities;
a third method for individual user/voters legislative agenda-setting, wherein authorized user/voters can enter keywords into a drop-down window describing their interests, and legislative priorities; query the system's Machine Learning technology and searchable corpus of data to obtain fact-checked lists of legislative priorities matching user/voters interests, and priorities, including but not limited to priorities specified by other user/voters users and members of existing said online consensus-building voting blocs, political parties and electoral coalitions hosted on the website; evaluate and compare priorities; define their priorities in their own words, and add their priorities in the said Database of individual user/voters legislative priorities and user stories for storing, retrieving, updating, sharing, comparing and contrasting with other authorized user/voters priorities.
