Social Media and Politics

Social media has played a huge roll in our society today. Social media can come off as a positive and negative thing. I don’t think social media is capable of adequate depth of information to enable the participation in politics because self research on politic information is not being down by candidates. These candidates are using social media and talking about things they have barely researched themselves. In the article “How Social Media is Ruining Politics” the writer says, “Ted Cruz uses Periscope to stream his appearances. Marco Rubio broadcast snapchat stories at stops along the trails.” In this sense if they are posting information that is coming straight from the source, that is going to be the best way to get to the power about what they are representing as candidates.
