There was an opinion piece on cracked.com about how political memes do the whole political discussions/voting a disservice as they put complex real world choices as easy soundbites.
Targeted marketing is also a lower form of information as you are trying to "sell" a party in easy soundbites, which is a whole world away from televised debates. Think buzzfeed headlines...
I think there's a real risk that it's going to simplify politics (in people's heads) and cement the horrid One party VS the other party system even more :/
Could be wrong like.
