Each category shows whether they've engaged substantively, taken a position, or stayed quiet; not a pass/fail grade.
AI Rollout
inferredPrioritizes community control and ecological accountability over commercial tech expansion.
"it is time to put community over commerce, expand democracy, strengthen workers’ rights, guarantee access to healthcare, housing, clean air and water"
Why this rating
Inferred from: [platform] his stated mission to 'put community over commerce' and guarantee access to 'clean air and water.' This suggests a high degree of skepticism toward the resource-intensive nature of AI data centers and a likely alignment with community-led oversight of industrial tech infrastructure.
depth 4 : alignment 7 : confidence 70%
Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment
Weakly InferredStrongly supports expanding workers' rights and collective bargaining to confront concentrated corporate wealth.
"strengthen workers’ rights... and confront the danger that concentrated wealth poses to real self-government."
Why this rating
[unverified quote] Rabb's platform explicitly prioritizes strengthening workers' rights and is endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America and Working Families Party, indicating alignment with the most aggressive labor protections, including gig worker reclassification and opposition to management-by-algorithm.
depth 6 : alignment 9 : confidence 90%
Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties
inferredLikely supports strong privacy protections and limits on state/corporate surveillance as a means of self-government.
"confront the danger that concentrated wealth poses to real self-government."
Why this rating
Inferred from: [platform] his focus on 'real self-government' and opposition to 'concentrated wealth' which, in the tech context, is inextricably linked to surveillance capitalism and data harvesting. His endorsements from civil rights-aligned groups further support a pro-privacy stance.
depth 4 : alignment 8 : confidence 70%
Social Media, Platform Power & Information
inferredFavors structural checks on the power of dominant tech platforms to protect democratic self-government.
"confront the danger that concentrated wealth poses to real self-government."
Why this rating
Inferred from: [platform] his explicit goal to 'confront the danger that concentrated wealth poses' and his push to 'expand democracy.' These are foundational progressive arguments for platform antitrust and algorithmic accountability to prevent corporate capture of information ecosystems.
depth 4 : alignment 8 : confidence 80%
Financial Technology, Crypto & Predatory Platforms
mostly quietLikely skeptical of predatory fintech, but lacks specific statements on crypto or decentralized finance.
"put community over commerce"
Why this rating
Inferred from: [platform] his general 'community over commerce' and 'anti-concentrated wealth' stance. While he would likely favor consumer protections in fintech, there is insufficient evidence to score alignment meaningfully beyond a neutral 5.
depth 2 : alignment n/a : confidence 50%
