The problem is not ignorance of the constituents interests or their volition.

The political system this claims to help was not created by and for the working class, it was thought out, designed and implemented by and for the bourgeoisie. It can't serve the majority even if it tried. There are no mechanisms for it, and, not only that, the whole system will prevent their creation. It's not about adding plugins, it's about changing the system.

This app was probably funded by the democrats to seem more radical and progressive, but is just a tool for aesthetics. They use these to gather well meaning non conforming professionals and citizens around actions that are ultimately inconsequential and also wont waste the opportunity to trigger conservatives while they're at it, adding kindling the useless culture war that owns the US.
