How do you think social media has affected Presidential elections? What are the positive impacts? The negative?

People don't trust the media to be honest and forthright with them so social media has become a news source for low information voters, too lazy to do their own research. I fear this election will be decided by whomever has the best meme.

Because, as we all know, you can't put it up on that thar interwebs ifin it ain't true.

I would say an upside to it is that candidates can now reach a more diverse group of voters. The big problem with social media and elections are a lot of misinformation and a lot of things are watered down to politics so that people are only seeing an agenda driven piece of information and not getting the useful information needed for one to make an informed voting decision.

Negative: people believe everything.
