Tinder RTV Results 3 “Swipe the Vote” Campaign Update: Sanders and Cruz Take the Lead with Millennials on Tinder March 25, 2016 (Los Angeles) – Tinder, the world’s most popular app for meeting new people, partnered with Rock the Vote for ‘Swipe the Vote,’ a compelling campaign designed to attract millennials to participate in the voting process, and the results are in! According to Tinder users, Bernie Sanders was the leading choice for the Democratic nomination while Ted Cruz edged out his fellow Republican candidates. Sanders was matched with 37.8% of swipers, narrowly defeating his close rival Hillary Clinton who, at 37.6% is behind by just 200 matches – reinforcing the fact that every vote counts. The Republican winner Ted Cruz garnered 14.3% of overall votes, handily beating Donald Trump who was matched with only 8.1% of users. Battle of the Sexes: Despite the media’s heavy focus on the rise of the “Bernie Bro,” the majority of males on Tinder matched with Hillary, who resonated with 35.5% versus Sanders’ 32.7%. Bernie was the leading choice among women, receiving 43.4%, while Hillary matched with just 39.9%. The men of Tinder leaned far more to the right, matching nearly twice as often with the Republican candidates than female voters. Almost 20% of men swiped their way to a match with Ted Cruz compared to only 8.5% of women. The ‘Swipe the Vote’ campaign event even had it’s own bit of “Bush v. Gore” drama, with Hillary Clinton winning the most states (30) event though Bernie had the most matches overall. ‘Swipe the Vote’ will remain on the Tinder platform this Presidential election season with additional results to be released. Full data below: Top 3 Overall Bernie- 37.8% Hillary-37.6% Cruz- 14.3% *Bernie is only beating Hillary by 200 matches Men Hillary- 35.5% Bernie- 32.7% Cruz- 19.5% Women Bernie- 43.4% Hillary- 39.9% Cruz- 8.5% Democratic- Bernie Republican- Cruz *8.1% of users matched with Trump States Bernie- 21 states Hillary- 30 states * Washington DC winner – Bernie About ‘Swipe the Vote’ In this presidential election year, Tinder invites its users to weigh in on the issues that are heating up the debate and match with the candidate that best aligns with their views. Tinder users will be presented with 10 of the hottest issues being discussed and will be prompted to swipe right if they agree and swipe left if they disagree. Once determined, a percentage match will appear indicating their primary and secondary candidate matches. The ‘Swipe the Vote’ experience was built in collaboration with Wedgies, a real-time polling platform. Wedgies recently powered online polls for the White House during the State of the Union Address in January. Issues up for debate include legalizing marijuana, same-sex marriage, drilling for oil and gas in America, raising minimum wage, stricter laws for online piracy, increasing education funding and more. ‘Swipe the Vote’ Users also have the opportunity to learn more about the issues including opinions from supporters and opponents and additional candidate background. Non-registered voters can also seamlessly register to vote and share results on social media, just in time for this year’s elections.

  • The Civil War in the American Ruling Class
    tripleC 16(2): 857-881, 2018 http://www.triple-c.at The Civil War in the American Ruling Class Scott Timcke Department of Literary, Cultural and Communication Studies, The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Abstract: American politics is at a decisive historical conjuncture, one that resembles Gramsci’s description of a Caesarian response to an organic crisis. The courts, as a lagging indicator, reveal this longstanding catastrophic equilibrium. Following an examination of class struggle ‘from above’, in this paper I trace how digital media instruments are used by different factions within the capitalist ruling class to capture and maintain the commanding heights of the American social structure. Using this hegemony, I argue that one can see the prospect of American Caesarism being institutionally entrenched via judicial appointments at the Supreme Court of the United States and other circuit courts. Keywords: Gramsci, Caesarism, ruling class, United States, hegemony Acknowledgement: Thanks are due to Rick Gruneau, Mariana Jarkova, Dylan Kerrigan, and Mark Smith for comments on an earlier draft. Thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers – the work has greatly improved because of their contributions. A version of this article was presented at the Local Entanglements of Global Inequalities conference, held at The University of The West Indies, St. Augustine in April 2018. 1. Introduction American politics is at a decisive historical juncture. Stalwarts in both the Democratic and the Republican Parties foresee the end of both parties. “I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president”, George W. Bush said as he recoiled at the actions of the Trump Administration (quoted in Baker 2017).

ABSTRACT This study examines the Facebook discussions of male and female Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters during the 2016 U.S. Democratic Presidential Primary through the lenses of gendered political communication and gendered interpersonal communication. Content analysis is utilized to investigate what elements of gendered political communication and gendered interpersonal communication were present and whether men or women supporting either candidate were more likely to employ them. Access to 91 personal Facebook profiles obtained through an innovative sampling and ethical two‐step informed consent procedure gives rare insight into political Facebook conversations on private walls.

  • Democracy in America at Work: the History of Labor's Vote in Corporate
    Democracy in America at Work: The History of Labor’s Vote in Corporate Governance Ewan McGaughey* ABSTRACT Can there be democracy in America at work? The historical division between democracy in politics and hierarchy in the economy is under strain. Hierarchical interests in the economy are shifting their model of power into politics, and yet a commitment to revive the law is resurgent. Central examples are the proposed Accountable Capitalism Act, Reward Work Act, Workplace Democracy Acts, and Employees’ Pension Security Acts. They would create a right for employees to elect 40% of directors on $1 billion company boards, a right for employees to elect one-third of directors on other listed company boards and require one-half employee representation on single-employer pension plans. All challenge long held myths: that labor’s involvement in corporate governance is foreign to American tradition, that when codified in law, labor voice is economically inefficient; that the legitimate way to have voice in the economy is by buying stocks; or that labor voice faces insurmountable legal obstacles. This Article shows these myths are mistaken, by exploring the history and evidence from 1861. The United States has one of the world’s strongest traditions of democracy at work. Economic democracy has not been more widespread primarily because it was suppressed by law. Americans favor voice at work, while asset managers who monopolize shareholder votes with “other people’s money” enjoy no legitimacy at all. This Article concludes that, even without the federal government, and by recreating themselves as laboratories of democracy and enterprise, states can adapt the current proposals and rebuild a living law.

  • Making Sense of Advertisements Daniel Pope
    Making Sense of Advertisements Daniel Pope (from the Making Sense of Evidence series on History Matters: The U.S. Survey on the Web, located at http://historymatters.gmu.edu) Advertisements are all around us today and have been for a long time; advertising-free “good old days” just don’t exist. This guide offers an overview of advertisements as historical sources and how historians use them, a brief history of advertising, questions to ask when interpreting ads as historical evidence, an annotated bibliography, and a guide to finding advertisements online. Author Daniel Pope has taught at the University of Oregon since 1975 and is currently Associate Professor and History Department Head. He teaches courses on American economic and business history and on the history of American radicalism. He is the author of The Making of Modern Advertising (1983) and editor of American Radicalism (2001); he has written many articles on the history of American advertising, marketing, and consumer culture, and on the history of nuclear power and anti-nuclear activism. Introduction Over a century ago, Harper’s Weekly commented that advertisements were “a true mirror of life, a sort of fossil history from which the future chronicler, if all other historical monuments were to be lost, might fully and graphically rewrite the history of our time.” Few if any historians today would claim that they could compose a complete history of an era from its advertisements, but in recent years scholars have creatively probed advertisements for clues about the society and the business environment that produced them. The presence of many excellent online collections of advertisements provides learners as well as established scholars the opportunity to examine these sources in new ways.

They say that history shows that compared to past presidents, Obama’s approval ratings have moved in a very narrow range just below 50 percent. They attribute this to the fact that his ratings among both Democrats and Republicans have also barely budged. Some commentators have criticized the Obama administration for the amount of new rules and regulations that it has introduced, especially in recent months. The Hill’s Congress blog defends what they say is ‘Obama’s regulatory flurry’, arguing that in having a robust regulatory agenda in its final year, the administration is following a precedent set by past presidents. Obama has also gotten flak for being responsible for ‘out of control’ spending during his administration.
