Brigade: Brigade, the beta version of which was released Wednesday for iOS and Android devices, also allows advocacy groups and candidates to gauge people perspectives on the issues -- which could help them mobilize voters, according to CNN. Matt Mahan, the company CEO told CNN, he was inspired when he realized that discussing political issues with friends, families and neighbors -- and learning about yourself, as well as the people you care about -- is fun and engaging. A new app called Brigade is the "Tinder of politics" according to one of its major investors, a reference to the popular dating program, and it lets users exchange political beliefs with a couple of swipes. Rockers vs. candidates: 11 times campaign songs went off-key "That the part where everyone says they don't like politics," Mahan said. The app tracks trending topics, each of which present the user with three options: agree, disagree and unsure. He said that instead of focusing on matters regarding political parties, politicians and the topic of money, the starting point for Brigade should be the things that people care most about and the issues they are frustrated with that they would like to change.
