The typical diet of red-bellied piranhas includes insects, worms, crustaceans, and fish.[13] In packs up to hundreds, piranhas have been known to feed on animals as large as egrets or capybara. Despite the piranha's reputation as a dangerous carnivore, it is actually primarily a scavenger and forager, and will mainly eat plants and insects during the rainy season when food is abundant. ~ Wikipedia.
The idea behind this "turning off political ads" is to prevent the masses by being fooled into voting for one party over the other due to "fake" news.
As someone who was born and brought up in a third world country, this is my observation because I have a different perspective on this.
People like Donald Trump have won elections despite severe personal and public failings. And the reason they win is because they are demagogues. They have the ability to connect to voter's emotions.
Obama is not a demagogue but he dripped with Charisma and had the ability to connect to everyone and share his vision for a better America. Likewise for Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan had immense Charisma.
Hillary Clinton is not an inspiring person. She did not have the same kind of Charisma or Vibe that Obama had.
All of this started because Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016 to Donald Trump. If Hillary Clinton won the election, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
There is this quote from Rocky Balboa:
Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!
If Obama contested in the 2016 elections, there is a good chance he would have beaten Trump. It is true that there was fake news. We can't assume that the fake news was the sole cause for Hillary Clinton's defeat. This is a media narrative which was unable to come to terms with the fact that a racist narc like DT was able to defeat Clinton.
DT would have beaten Hillary regardless of the "fake articles" on Facebook. Blaming it on anything else is the same as not taking responsibility for being wrong about the election.
