I was watching News Hour and they were talking on the algorithm they use to send out political info.

My question is, "What makes Rep. think I want to see their stuff in my mailbox and on my computer"? I mean come on, I am always on DU and all my facebook stuff is very liberal. Everything about me marks me as a pure blood yellow dog. One would think They would not be wasting their money on me, but that seems not the case.

but mostly dem. I'm unaffiliated, but their algorithim has correctly interpreted that I lean dem (actually pro-human rights and anti-corporate rights).

I have got zero democrat stuff. Everything is pro-life and anti-gay. There has even been a ton of NRA stuff, I don't even own a gun!
