How to Cancel A Starting Point

I wasn’t too sure about this when I first heard of it due to it being conceived by a celebrity (no matter how much I do like Chris Evans). This app is phenomenal. It’s very intuitive and easy to use, and it’s a nice simple way to boil down questions you have about actual news happening in DC. So many political debates are both filled with mud slinging and what feels like hours of political double-talk; ASP brilliantly gets views from both sides and limits their time to 2 minute bites the politician gives from their own office. It cuts through a lot of nonsense and doesn’t leave the participant on the defensive, so you can actually hear their real opinion. It’s a very new concept and I hope as time goes on more and more of the elected use it. It’s a great way to find real news that is not opinionated and focused instead on making sure voters are informed, regardless of party or belief system.

Chris Evans, Mark Kassen, and Joe Kiani’s “A Starting Point” launches today! They’re on a ton of platforms, and the app runs incredibly smooth on any smart phones you might have. What is “A Starting Point”? A Starting Point is a succinct and organized website where you can get short and to the point information on politics and controversial topics that are going on in our country, and get answers from both parties equally. There are no opinions, just facts. This website doesn’t take a side, as it’s geared towards trying to help people who have no idea where to start get started on learning politics and where they may stand on the fence. (Seasoned political veterans can equally enjoy this website, as it gives you the options to find specific politicians and get more of their view on specific topics. This is a great tool to get more information you may or may not be struggling to find elsewhere.) There’s no ‘likes’ or ‘dislikes’ on video clips and topics. There’s no comment sections so it doesn’t feel like you’re drowning in other people opinions. It’s very professional, informative, and very easy to navigate and understand. I hope more people look into this website and give it a chance! Help spread the word especially to the young adults in your life who may not know anything about politics; it will help them learn! :)

I think this is an incredibly useful and groundbreaking app especially in the political and social climate that we face today. In a time when accurate and non biased information is difficult to discern, this is a refreshing and eye opening take on how both sides of the political spectrum can see an issue, whether they agree or disagree. It’s important that we can clearly see how each of our elected officials see an issue as they talk to their constituents; it creates a dialogue between the people and those who we elect, and it helps to clear the air on topics that seem confusing or daunting to dissect in an already politically charged climate! I’m so glad I found this app and it gives me hope for the future!

As someone who continues to be disappointed by media coverage of politics, I’m finding this app to be incredibly useful and refreshing to hear directly from our voted representatives, without the filter of a media outlet. It’s refreshing to even hear points of view I may not agree with, but are at least presented in an thoughtful response. Most of us have certainly longed for the days of two politicians having an actual intellectually honest debate, where the facts are agreed upon, but the approaches to a solution may be different. That’s how a society grows and improves, and this app seems like a great place to start to get back that!!

ASP is perfect for those who want to be informed on politics but get lost in long articles and often biased news. The videos on the app are great and concise, and I love that they’re from our actual lawmakers, who I used to know next to nothing about. The interface is clean and easy to navigate. Not only is it a great tool for quickly learning about complicated and controversial political issues in an unbiased way, but it’s also going to be very useful for the upcoming election to see where the politicians stand on specific issues. The debate section is also very eye-opening and engaging. I’m excited to see more!
