• Google performs 83%+ of U.S. Internet searches. (90%+ elsewhere).
• 90%+ of people don't look past the first page of results (80% don't look past the first TWO results).
• Google is overwhelmingly left-leaning.
• Google gave $800k to BHO in 2012, only $37k to Romney.
• There is no paper trail of how Google produces its rankings - it's a secret.
• Tests show that manipulating the search results can influence opinions in favor of, or away from, a given candidate. IN A REAL ELECTION. The testers did it in an election in India, and influenced all three candidates about the same, but the effect was real.

• Tests were able to shift more than 20% of the voters overall, and up to 60% in some demographic groups.

• Those tests were with ONE SHOT at influencing the voters. A sustained campaign could practically guarantee whatever outcome Google wanted, WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY MALFEASANCE.

--- Google is NOT your friend.

The media foisted Obama on us twice; Google is just part of the media.

• Facebook, in 2010, sent out 60 million 'GO OUT AND VOTE" reminders.
• That caused 340,000 people to vote, who otherwise wouldn't have (not sure how they know that).
• Facebook collects enough data to figure out if you're a D or R.
• They COULD (not saying they DO, or they HAVE) send those reminders to ONLY the voters leaning the "preferred" way. (I wonder which way that would be).

This is why there are SuperDelegates.

Feel the Bern, Hillary's ass.

And Trump will then kick Hillary's amply endowed ass.

So what? Where is the evidence that Google has done anything wrong? Lots of corporations donate to liberals because liberals run the country.

None of them are our friends.

Come on, I dare them to make me vote for Hellary.
