It’s no secret that last year’s presidential election was heavily influenced by social media. This curation will show how our social media is influencing our election in its early stages. We can compare these results to last year and see if we are headed in a similar direction.

Twitter users are constantly at war during these debates. With all the heat, the influence runs high!

We can really see that everyone’s opinion of who is “killing it” in the democratic debate has been taken to the extreme with these images!

A lot of the memes from the Democratic debate seem to be based off specific facial expressions. As funny as this is, I wonder what all the different memes pointing out the candidate’s weaknesses in the debates will engender within the media audience!

This is why it’s important to form your own opinions based off thoughts you form from participating in the voting process and watching the debates for yourself!

When we spend hours on social media and encounter thousands of GIFS, memes, articles, photos, blogs and more it’s almost impossible not to form some type of bias. Even the strong-minded social media users who swear they are not prone to influence will endure psychological bias. It’s important to take a lot of this content lightly and form your own opinion based on what you see from the candidates and to figure out what you truly want to see happen in this country moving forward.
