Each category shows whether they've engaged substantively, taken a position, or stayed quiet; not a pass/fail grade.
AI Rollout
Weakly InferredBush supports community revolts against data center expansions and questions the ecological and social costs of AI infrastructure.
"The Data Center Fight in GES Neighborhood... The health of St. Louis communities will be safe."
Why this rating
[unverified quote] Depth is high due to her specific engagement with 'The Data Center Revolt' and participation in AI-focused congressional hearings. Alignment is high because she aligns with grassroots opposition to data centers and prioritizes community health over tech profit.
depth 7 : alignment 9 : confidence 80%
Worker Rights & Tech-Driven Disempowerment
inferredBush advocates for robust worker protections, union rights, and the abolition of predatory labor practices within the tech and logistics sectors.
"Together, we’re building a movement to take on corporate greed."
Why this rating
Inferred from: Deep ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and her 'economy that works for all' platform. Her alignment is scored high based on her 'people over profit' mantra and explicit support for labor movements like teachers' strikes and general anti-corporate greed positions.
depth 6 : alignment 9 : confidence 80%
Surveillance, Data Privacy & Civil Liberties
Weakly InferredBush aggressively opposes government and law enforcement surveillance, particularly technologies used by ICE and for federal surveillance of marginalized communities.
"NURSES SAY ABOLISH ICE... ICE contractors, war... This is a people-powered movement."
Why this rating
[unverified quote] Depth is high as she was assigned to the 'Crime and Federal Government Surveillance' subcommittee and has explicitly called for the abolition of ICE and its tech contractors. Alignment is at the maximum as she seeks to dismantle surveillance infrastructure rather than just regulate it.
depth 8 : alignment 10 : confidence 90%
Social Media, Platform Power & Information
inferredBush opposes the concentrated power of 'the wealthy few' and corporate monopolies that threaten democracy.
"The system works for the wealthy few, but not for the rest of us. ... build a system that works for everyday people."
Why this rating
Inferred from: Her platform on 'Defend Democracy and Fight Fascism' and 'taking on corporate greed.' While she hasn't released a specific 230 or antitrust white paper in these sources, her alignment with anti-monopolist 'insurgent' politics suggests strong support for platform accountability.
depth 4 : alignment 7 : confidence 70%
Financial Technology, Crypto & Predatory Platforms
platformBush is strongly anti-cryptocurrency and opposes the influence of crypto-funded PACs in elections.
"Based on previous comments, Cori Bush has indicated they are very anti-cryptocurrencies."
Why this rating
Depth is solid based on her recorded stance as 'very anti-cryptocurrencies' and the political context of her primary fight against 'AIPAC darlings' and crypto-funded interests. Alignment is high as she views crypto through a lens of consumer harm and predatory finance.
depth 6 : alignment 9 : confidence 90%
