One of the scariest things

About the upcoming election, that isn’t being talked about much are companies like Cambridge Analytica that are using the same methods to target voters.

If you can, I highly recommend you seek out and watch a documentary called, The Great Hack. It goes into great detail regarding Cambridge Analytica and their methodology for push people called “persuadables” to vote a certain way using targeted propaganda. It’s a terrifying look at how we are entering an age where democracy can be perverted for the right price. A top executive, that became a whistleblower, said the methodology used was weapons grade propaganda. In the documentary as well, their methodology is shown to work very well and since the were working with the Trump Campaign and the RNC, could very well have been the reason Trump won

If you get a chance check it out on Netflix.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
