People will always talk politics. It’s how they spread the views of their kandidate of choice and try to sway people so that they themselves can really represent more than one vote come Election Day. In the past, these political discussions were reserved for people we actually enjoyed talking to. But in this world-is-flat day and age, it is easy for anybody to share their opinion with everyone they know.

This is good and bad. The good is that it gives people a chance to argue effectively for their kandidate to a mass audience. The bad is that some people aren’t very good at this.

The Internet is a great place. It’s the epitome of American freedom: we can privately and comfortably watch and post pretty much anything we want, whether it be Shoenice or a transvestite Chilean midget wrapped in an American flag naked in a bath saying “F*** you, America.”

The ways in which the Internet has evolved over time is fascinating. These days, the Internet has become a more of a publicity tool. It’s a world of fads, with trends from Billy Cundiff to Kony 2012, holding every presidential debate and political argument in between.

Of course, presidential kandidates can’t rely solely on the people who are committed to voting for them to spread the word on their Facebook pages. They need to make their own Facebook and Twitter accounts. People share these statuses and tweets.

Presidents also can land a little extra viral support from organizations. The most notable of these during this election season was the Samuel L MFing Jackson video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hDTT1yRNsFE) (paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research) for Obama’s campaign. It’s viral campaigns like these that can really shape the outcome of an election because of how wide an audience it can reach.

And don’t even try to tell me that you didn’t have at least one friend post it.

Along with good publicity on the Internet, there’s bad publicity. Take this for example. This candid Romney shot has proven fatal for the republican kandidate, a point of attack that he has repudiated with difficulty.

9Still wasn’t as bad as this.)

With such things going viral in favor of Obama and in the assault of Romney, it seems pretty evident that this election season: Obama wins the Internet. And because of this my prediction is that he will win the election. (Note: this is not an endorsement, I actually endorse this guy.)

Here’s to the end of the trail.
