I am a huge proponent of replacing government bureaucracy and services with software. These websites and services need to be shaped and supervised by the people that will be using it ... we the people.

Public servants and political parties can have a role in supporting the development of this software but the private sector needs to be providing it. Do we need a federal Chief Design Officer? Maybe someday that will be critical but I don't see the role even being helpful right now.
I would like to see cities adopt a common social software platform to enable citizens and local government to start a conversation on how to make this transformation. AT Protocol and/or ActivityPub could be what enables this bottom up approach to taking back our government and political systems.
