Since the Trump campaign seems to think so highly about the role of the Vice President, their power and their influence, I thought that this was an important reminder.

You can choose to stick your head into any echo chamber you'd like and a billionaire can't control that

You should really lookup what the Cambridge Analytica scandal was... They didn't tell people they were manipulating them, they just did it.

That's part of the point. People who want to end Democracy aren't doing so because they respect your right to choose.

Likewise, I doubt you'd get a choice if your city falls under the domain of a network city.

I think if you really don't understand, then maybe that's what's needed to make you understand.

Yeah, I'm familiar with Cambridge Analytica. My response was to a single paragraph unedited comment and I stand by what I said.

A confluence of things unrelated to the desires of billionaires helps influence what a person believes or what bias they will seek. I mean, I can't just take some random left-wing person and have them read Fox News and expect them to become a Trump supporter, can I?
