Bernie Sanders backs polls Trump quipped

“It means you will lose”

In the Des Moines Register / CNN / Mediacom poll on the Democratic primary in Iowa, dated January 10, Bernie Sanders won 20% of the voting intentions, ahead of Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttiegieg and Joe Biden. This could weigh in on the February 3 vote. Besides, Bernie Sanders, as usual, responded to Donald Trump by reacting to his tweet: “It means that you will lose.” Way to imply that, if Sanders wins the primary, Trump will be swept away by the fundamental choice which will be imposed on the great voters.

However, at the national level, the positions very to the left of Bernie Sanders, supported by the deputy Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or by the intellectual Naomi Klein, play rather against him. He is thus distanced by Elizabeth Warren and by Joe Biden in the national polls. But in the United States, a federal country, the local matters a lot.

TRENDNG: Facebook had a role in the election of Trump according to a social network official

 In a memo sent to Facebook employees at the end of the year, an official said that the American president had been elected “because he ran the best advertising campaign on the internet”.

“Is Facebook responsible for the election of Donald Trump?” “I think the answer is yes but not for the reasons that everyone is thinking of.” In an internal memo dated December 30 and named "Thoughts for 2020" , Andrew Bosworth, a Facebook official, thought about the share of responsibility of the social network in the election of Donald Trump in 2016, reports AFP.

According to him, the American president “was not elected because of Russian disinformation or (of the cabinet) Cambridge Analytica”, then referring to the numerous controversies which tainted Facebook during the last American presidential election, in particular criticized for having allowed to circulate massive disinformation campaigns on the network.

“He was elected because he ran the best internet advertising campaign I have ever seen. Full stop, ”he said in the text first made public by the New York Times, then by himself. If this close friend of Mark Zuckerberg believes that Facebook contributed to the election of Trump, then it would only be for his ability to manage his social networks and “the tools we put at their disposal to show good content to the right people” .

Limit information?

As Le Parisien recalls, while Twitter announced last October that it would give up political advertising on its network, Facebook, for its part, decided not to change its method a few months before the next American election. "The result could be the same," said Andrew Bosworth. Recalling, in passing, his support for the Democrats, he added that "if we change the result (of an election) without really convincing the people who will be governed, then we have only a paper democracy. If we limit the information that people have access to and what they can say, then we have no democracy at all. ”
