Observation 48 hours before election day

[u/Physical-Village2111]

Is it just me or others have notice the trend that all the social media (including redditt), and all the tv station there is such a big liberal presence and supporting the liberals, but when talking/overhearing conversation in coffee shops, parks, workplaces etc its overwhelming the support for the conservatives.

Feels like there is two reality around me, one that lives in my cell phone screen and the other out and about.

Not sure why Kamloops was recommended to me here but hello I guess. I’m in Ontario, in a riding that can easily go any direction in any given election. I’ve had very reasonable and varying yet moderate conversations with people about this election. I’ve had to stop using all socials in the last week because I’m just getting pumped with conservative propaganda, even though I’ve never engaged with political posts ever (although I do follow our PM, regardless of party preference). I’m talking the whole “if the libs win this is the end of Canada” and “Carney will ruin Canada forever” all that fun stuff.

Social media algorithms don’t show you what they think you will like, they show you what they think will make you engage. They want to get you riled up so you use their platform more, comment more, maybe even post your own anti-[insert party] content. It makes them more money
