I recall seeing two sites shared in the comments on US politics posts but cannot find them again.

The sites were very predictive, and offered to sponsor interested individuals.

I recall they had a name similar to "get involved".

If some one has shared the sites, or recalls them, could you share them again?

I know a few particularly passionate people, with good motives, and relevant education, that could benefit greatly from having the prescriptive guidance and sponsorship.

Not really answering your question, but their effort would be better spent joining a party like PSL than trying to work within the system. Organizing, political education, and direct action are all very important roles in the political process that electoralism doesn't help.

The only time I'd say electoralism would really make a difference is at the local level.
