Current Events > Has anybody else been getting their Facebook feed flooded with political stuff?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think I may have found a setting to make it stop, but they have been bombarding me with these local politicians. Ive already decided who Im voting for in the midterms, so get off of my screen.

The only republican who has been advertised is some guy running for State Treasurer. All the rest of them are democrats.

One other thing is that Facebook knows Im a conservative and it sends me these suggested groups about socialism and anti-capitalism. Its almost like theyre intentionally sending me these things hoping that I might go troll them so that they can suspend my account.

This

It pretty much detects your interests based on your Google searches and browsing history. So if you're generally heavily invested in politics that's what you're going to be seeing

Yes. But it is literally one person flooding the entire feed.

I'm a liberal, but the crap he posts makes me understand why someone might get annoyed into voting conservative.
