and social media is more influential than CNN which most people don't watch.

Another thing is those blue jeans ads . IRS not official Democrats saying the ad was racist but there are people on social media saying that.

So even though democrsts running for office don't say anything or probably even know about it that shit us still how the people that get their views got online see things.
