Bernie on Facebook (yes, this is a Hillary group post)

[LAS14]

Why do I keep getting Bernie Sanders sponsored ads? Am I profiled somewhere erroneously? Or is Hillary's campaign just falling down on the job?

1. I ignore all facebook ads

2. If you are receiving feeds for Democratic Party groups...

... you will likely get Bernie-spammed (I am as well). I had to unfollow several groups, one in particular as it referred to us Hillary Clinton supporters as being "mentally challenged".

3. Ads are based mostly on the words you type.

And the words in your messages.That's probably it.

4. I think I've only posted...

... in Facebook 3 times in my life... maybe 4. Hmmm.. Maybe it's my silence that tagged me.

6. Is it also based on what you click on and what you "like?"

I clicked on and liked a lot of pro Obama stuff recently, and I'm also always clicking and liking music stuff. Today I got a suggestion for the page of a band called Obamacide.

8. Not "likes"

I've probably "liked" fewer than a dozen times, and always to family cutenesses. I'm beginning to fear that the answer is what a friend replied on Facebook: "Sanders has a better media campaign." That's scary. How could any major campaign not have a top of the line media campaign? Do the rest of you think this could be the case?

12. Your concern is noted.

[LAS14]

13. Thanks! Does this mean...

... you're some sort of campaign official?

[BlueCaliDem]

14. No. It means your concern is noted.

5. I'm seeing them too, but what I found interesting is the comments on the ads

as opposed to the love fest on Bernie's main page. People are really hitting him hard on the sponsored ad comments that i've seen. It kind of surprised me the first time I saw it, because I'm so used to seeing all the Bernie posters really active on social media stuff. So much so, that opposing views get drowned out. But on the recent ads, people were hitting Bernie hard on the finger pointing after the lat debate, and coming off as disrespecting the moderators and Clinton. They also talked about him using the same talking points over and over for each issue.

9. Aha!

I didn't realize you could reply to sponsored ads... Maybe I'll get to be a more active Facebook user!

10. Me too.

Based on clicks and comments, I guess. There is a "hide ad" option in one of the pull down menus. I clicked that and they went away.

11. Now have seen...

.... three Hillary ads on Facebook. Some bot has been busy.
