Social Media shocking failure: scam con shows fickleness of 20-somethings #boulder
Nov 8th
#Boulder #Twitter #socialmedia FAIL Democrats bitch over Republicans
Young social media types completely failed the country on November 2 by failing to vote. It was a terrible blow to the USA and show what a fraud the entire social media phenomena truely is. Young voters have said little about the recent election, but political analysts now blame social media marketiing young professionaals as the main cause of the devastating loss to democrats.
Boulder Social media hotshots such as Brett Greene and his cadre of children soldiers comepletely turned their back on America and sold the country down the river. Just a terrible injustice.
Social media and young voters failed to vote in the last election. Boulder’s over indulgence with Twitter and social media marketing experts completely failed the Democrat party. This demonstrates that social media is just another American flash in the pan and cannot be depended upon for consistent marketing
Analysis of the recent mid term elections now show that 20 somethings on twitter failed to vote, handing the election to Republicans. Social media failed to get out the vote for Democrats . Locally, Boulder twitter was mostly devoid of get out the vote activity. social media gurus spent election periods in idle chit chat, gossip and bitching over their lives.
On Friday many of them now complained about Republicans control of congress failing to see that their field of work is an untennable solution for elections.
Twitter in Boulder by daily social media proponents complain about republicans but seemed oblivious to their own failing in getting out the vote nationwide.
