Bunkeddeko seems pretty good? looked over his website and his stances seem decent.

also, when you're not mad.

establishment dems are pretty horrible especially when they get called out.

but it's not false pretenses, they say what they're doing when someone chats with them.

They're not using their own pictures, though, and there's an expectation in a hookup app that you're looking for a hookup. :shrug:

advertising is advertising is advertising, imo. I don't see a huge gulf between this and targeted facebook ads, for instance.

that said, it's probably not a great use of their time but who knows?

If they were using their actual pictures (or a picture of the candidate) and the account was clearly identified from the outset as being for the purpose of canvassing for the campaign, then whatever. But misrepresenting themselves to initiate the conversation, then disclosing afterwards, is flat-out unethical -- and that's in addition to the fact that dating is something people tend to be emotionally invested in, and pretending to be an attractive person who matches with someone and begins talking to them just to immediately reveal that it's a ruse is awfully unkind.

how well disposed are you going to be towards a candidate after someone matches with you then says “jk this isn’t me and I’m not interested in you, but vote for Patel!”

beyond the ethics of hook up apps or whatever, it seems like it wouldn’t be very effective

The bajillion ads I see on Twitter and Facebook for, say, Nixon and Teachout clearly identify themselves as such. Hell, even the happy-go-lucky, your pal [brand name] accounts are clearly marked as brand accounts.

I'd also like to point out that the pearl clutcher who tweeted that out works for an establishment media org which shall not be named.

it's not a great practice to do what that guy is doing but like I said earlier with a political machine like the N.Y. Democratic Party basically forcing you to be underhanded is a bigger problem IMO. not to mention these elected officials cause way more damage to us while in office than a fake tinder swipe that only costs you a few minutes of your time.

the hot new thing is volunteers looking at friends of friends who liked pages then directly messaging them about the candidate. sanders volunteers did it, called it facebanking.

lmao at a literal "i'm not mad, i'm actually laughing" moment from clarke

bunkeddeko is good, yeah. supposedly at a fundraiser, some Park Slope yuppies came up to him to sign a "No Labels" neolib pledge. he refused. i think he has the best chance of the three primary challengers between patel and AOC (i love her but she's going to be crushed)

kinda wish NKD endorsed him now

i agree with them on that. clarke has been invisible in her district until after the 2016 elections. she's never proposed a bill in her decade-plus stay in Congress. the entire reason she has a political career is because she inherited her city council seat from her mom. and she chose Mathieu Eugene to succeed her, and he's done fuckall for the district. unlike patel, bunkeddeko is legit

for once they're making the right call. their endorsement of Gareth Rhodes isn't, though
