Google helped the Democrats take over the House.

Probably flipped a few senate seats too. If the midterms had gone as well for them as Trump's election they'd have 60 or so seats.

No, flat out manipulation at the polls did that. Making you think it was Google algos is exactly how the controlled oppo distracts people from the real problem. They get fucks like Crowder and Shapiro to complain about Google, when it's really fraud happening at polls, and with canvassing urban areas going door-to-door for absentee ballots, and busing in people to vote in other districts.
So everybody is throwing a tantrum over Google because "muh favorite pundit can't get their voice heard", and that literally had no fucking effect on mid terms at all.

it begs the question: did they use their near-endless monopoly power & algos to influence the 2018 midterm election in Dems' favor?
They straight up rigged the vote. Remember all those ballots they conveniently "found" after hours that flipped the results in key states? How (((convenient))) that was.
I just tried searching on (((Google))) for it using a dozen different combinations of keywords and it's a complete whitewash. Even normie social media was awash with reports of foul play at the time. It's just been memory holed on Google though.

begs the question
It doesn't invoke a logical fallacy. You mean 'prompts the question'.

Of course they did. That was remarked upon at the time, we just had no proof, just the obvious inferences one could draw from the evidence.

we dont need (((proof))), we need the google executives and a firing squad and a wall to line them up against!!!

Hold on, if Trump is an Israeli firster zionist who has jewish families, controlled opposition, etc (according to voat), why would Jewgle prevent his election?
[–] privacy_first ago
He is not as controlled as they wish
They wanted an Iran war, they got close, but not yet...

As far as I see it, it is a drop in the bucket anyway. In fact, I'd go as far as to say this is purely deflection and distraction. The people who were going to vote liberal wouldn't ever be swayed by this news anyway; they've been cheering on the algo-rigging from day 1. All of the people who were going to vote for Trump in 2020 are already well aware of this problem, and were going to vote conservative anyway. After 3 years, I don't think there is a huge margin of people riding the middle of the fence anymore. Not after 3 years. Not to the extent that Google showing them pro-democrat material is going to be the deciding factor.
Also, third world shit stains are going to vote Dem regardless of the fucking media.
The election rigging is going to be in the field, at ground level, with fraudulent door-to-door absentee bullshit and flat out vote manipulation at the polls, just like midterms with illegal ballot transport and plastic bins of "missing" ballots found in airports.
I think they just want everyone focused on something besides that. Again, I don't know a soul who still has a middle-of-the-road opinion on politics at this point. That is PRECISELY why the Dems are trying to instigate this massive illegal influx and get them driver's licenses. They know people already here are already decided. They need the illegal vote at this point.

I can't disagree with this enough. Adjust a story's position in the trending page here fiddle with with the frontpage news articles on the facebook ticker there. Sure for an individual its a minuscule effect as their eyes brush past in in a split second but multiply this by billions of pairs of eyeballs every day all throughout the day over the years and it starts to add up. Its an incredibly insidious power. Its no accident we've suddenly found ourselves in the most libtard Age in history now that Silicon Valley is in charge.

It mostly influences the youth vote...which can compound over time obviously. Also, it has a large effect on swing voters. the most important voting demographic.
I gave you an upvote because you're point isn't completely invalid by any means. But "drop in the bucket" no...It's much more significant than that. It's like a cup in the gallon that is voter fraud/manipulation. Propaganda has a very strong and very real effect. Otherwise advertisers wouldn't make hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
