      Guys, Michael Tracey is really pissed that he's only ever received one notification on Tinder and it's to go vote.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1059867950285504513 …

      Tinder is sending push notifications imploring everyone to Go Vote. I’m sure the Tinder staff responsible for this have no ideological predilections or party preferences, they just happen to be very civic-minded in a neutral, League of Women Voters sort of way

      I've long given up on understanding what @mtracey's principles are. I'm beginning to think his only principle is to do whatever he thinks will annoy Democrats.

      Maybe we should discuss what our principles are someday! Could be interesting.

      Okay then. Why exactly do you think "go vote" is an ideological statement? It's no more an ideological statement than "turn on the TV" is a film review. And why does it bother you so much that you're being told to vote?

      What bothers me is not being “told to vote,” it’s when corporations and others who clearly have an outcome preference (for Dems to win) dress up their exhortations with false neutrality. The phoniness bothers me. And I say this as someone who favors Dems controlling Congress.

      Okay so, you're bothered that an organization secretly supports the same party you support but isn't actually saying it but secretly kind of is? What you choose to view as a problem is truly bizarre.

      Corporations that wield major influence in our lives advocating political positions under deceptive pretenses seems like a pretty big issue, even if I happen to agree with them in this instance.

      You haven't established that they are advocating anything! Literally all they are saying is, go vote. Your view that there should be *less* voter outreach because there's some sort of hidden agenda in the word "vote" is really strange and really indefensible.

      Do you think the people who run Tinder notifications have a preference in terms of Dems vs. GOP?

          What the hell does that matter if the *content* of their message doesn't? "Go vote" is a completely nonpartisan message. Should only people who don't vote and have no political opinions encourage voter turnout? Your complaint makes no sense.

          The point is they’re encouraging people to vote because they desire a particular outcome. If they didn’t think their encouragement would help achieve that outcome, they wouldn’t bother. So the performative corporate neutrality is meant to obscure their true intention.

          I know none of the ladies using Tinder have a preference for you vs. practically anyone else.

          I mean, sure? But their actual message does not have one. Wanting something and actually doing it are two different things. Your argument is like saying if you want a bagel but end up getting a croissant because the shop was out, then you actually have...a bagel.

          I think Tinder, as a business subject to regulation by various government agencies, is better served by a GOP congress than by a Dem congress and that your assumptions about their secret motivation to get Dems elected is based on nothing more than a hunch.
