As I recall, the Obama IT effort was used to identify voters and get out the vote. This Mercer thing is pure psyops. It's intentionally trying to alter mass psychology for its own benefit.
- noobermin 10y agoConservatives have admitted in the past[0] that they win by suppressing the vote. That happens while Liberals usually win by getting out the vote. Saying "both sides do it" is just plain unfair and borderline propaganda. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBAsFwPglw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBAsFwPglw
- ChicagoDave 10y agoI'd like to add that one of their primary intentions isn't to change minds. My guess is they use this big data social media system to influence people negatively. They identify independent liberal-leaning voters and influence them in a way so that they are turned off from politics and won't bother voting. So these potential voters probably see a lot of ads showing how equally horrible any candidate is, how nothing matters, and that no single vote is going to make a difference.
