A couple of college students in the LA area created a Fantasy Congress game!
Andrew Lee, one of the creators of the game, said, “If people cared about politics as much as they care about sports, we’d have a better democracy… Congress needs to know that young people are watching them, just as they watch sports teams and athletes.”
You can check it out at http://www.fantasycongress.us/fc/ Lawmakers were ranked based on the progress of their proposed legislation, picking up points on its journey to possibly getting passed into law.
Obviously the stats system still leaves something to be desired, as all bills aren’t equal, and there’s riders and such to think of, but hey, this sounds really interesting to me! Anyone up for joining/making a league with me?
