Account creation is a process that offers users the opportunity to learn about their own personal political ideology and affiliations. As previously discussed, much of the population is not very politically active and does not carefully consider their ideological position based on their core values. Many of them are understandably unclear on what it actually means to be liberal, conservative, libertarian, anarchist, etc, and the site offers an optional questionnaire that helps users identify their closest matching political ideology. The questionnaire will be approved by leading academics, polling experts, and researchers in the field of political science. After the questionnaire is completed, a report explains the ideologies, compares them, suggests likely political party affiliation based on ideology, and outlines objectives in the platform of the party. The user can later use this report to compare results to those of their peers. They may disagree with the recommendations of the report and select their ideology and party affiliation preferences as they see fit. Surely an important first step in becoming politically involved is discovering more about one’s own political identity and deciding what role to play as a Digital Citizen.
