What do you think about this product: A fork of polymarket that lets people create things they want to happen in government, and let people donate to the cause. Examples being: reduce gov spending by 2%, or pardon this person. Have an expiration where if this isn’t accomplished, the funds are returned. Use the oracle to determine if gov does the thing, in which case the treasury of the nation is given then funds. I see this as “lobbying for the people”

A fully transparent grassroots lobbying mechanism where the money goes to the treasury instead of a politician’s LLC

I'd refine it even further into "pay taxes, but only for what you want"

How would the product be able return the funds? Wouldn't they be spent trying to action a cause? If they were not spent, then what is the mechanism that creates the outcome?

Problem with this is is that it’s effectively a bribing platform because there’s an inherent quid pro quo. Normally lobbying is hidden behind “I’m donating to you because my donation is speech” but there isn’t a donation on behalf of legislation being passed because then that would amount to a bribe.

This is really cool. There's probably some hidden reason why it wouldn't work or would get corrupted in the end but the current incentive structures aren't working. Some sort of innovation in politics like this idea is long overdue
