I see what you're getting at but that's a very spurious correlation.
We have 0 stats on who actually viewed and acted on Facebook posts/groups discouraging people to vote. We also are acting like that's all the info about the election that's on facebook. There are people and groups also encouraging people to vote as well. And if you have seen the Russian ads they are not compelling whatsoever.
And the polls were wrong because they relied too heavily on 'likely voters'. They didn't count people who rarely to never vote who were suddenly energized by Trump.
So yeah, not buying that brand. Nice try tho.

Had white women stuck together in the name of femininity then Hillary would have one.
It's not our fault the majority of white women sideded with Trump

Sure, for the general, but turnout was also down during the primaries as well. If people hated Hillary so much, that was their chance.

First links publication slogan is, "We report the truth - And leave the Russia-Collusion fairytale to the conspiracy media."
And the rest are about the particulars of social media marketing not of this specific case. lol

So, you're social media has no influence over people? Interesting take.

it's a shame that hillary bought that 2016 nomination in 2008 and there was a no-return policy 
if it hadn't been pre-decided on the left, who knows how 2016 would have turned out overall

turnout was down in the democratic primary because it was a foregone conclusion that the entire affair was bought and paid for. do you disagree?
TBH, 42% of eligible voters didn't even vote.
I think that is much more of an issue.
Ask yourself why 42% of the eligible voting population had no compulsion to vote.
Can't all be laziness. Maybe there is a feeling of apathy towards the whole system that is ruled, on both sides but maybe not equally, in favor of monied interests and elites?
Just maybe. Maybe the solution is to run candidates who present a serious challenge to that system. Maybe run candidates who think better campaign strategy is to form grassroots 50 state ethusiasm instead of spending campaign time at 50k dinner fundraisers with big money donors .

Wait, so you're saying voters didn't vote. Now they're complaining about what they were left with when they didn't do their civic duty?
Whatever excuse you need to make to feel better.
They didn't come out for the primary either, Bernie was this.
I'm going to go with laziness and apathy here and not for the reason you presented.
But a primary is a different animal than the general. Almost half of those who voted in the general didn't vote in either primary
Turnout was high in the 2016 primary season, but just short of 2008 record
Also let's not forget that Bernie Sanders in this case had to build up recognition during the primary process itself. He wasn't a known quantity and even more, considered the presumptive nominee before it even started like Hillary .
I'd make the argument without rehashing the old debate hopefully, had Bernie Sanders been the nominee, this number for the general election and overall ethusiasm would have been higher.
I still see people driving around with Bernie stickers. Maybe I'll see the odd Hillary sticker every now and then. Hillary for a lot of people represented the same old typical politician which depresses turnout and excitement. It's my personal opinion Bernie wouldnt have this problem. He may not have risen to the level of Obama ethusiasm but closer to it. Remember Obama, outside of being the first possible black president, also generated a lot of excitement during his first campaign by attacking the system too. It's why the Koch Brothers and other big money folks were absolutely scared to death of him and worked his entire term to bring him down and put a stop to everything he threatened to do in office.

It does but to pinpoint what type and then correlate it to real world actions is again spurious and without merit when you have 0 data.So, you're social media has no influence over people? Interesting take.
Hillary/DNC wasn't running ads saying vote for her on social media?
People are only saying the Russia stuff is more influential because she lost. lol
You posted a link supporting my point but want to call other people idiots? You need introspection. lol
