Topic: Youth Voters

Cambridge Analytica reportedly used Trinidad as a "petri dish" to test voter suppression tactics before applying them in Western democracies. The "Do So" campaign targeted Afro-Trinidadian youth, making it "cool" not to vote in order to influence the election outcome in favor of their clients. This micro-targeting exploited existing ethnic tensions between the Indian and Black populations in the country.

The Democratic party's shift toward aggressive, negative campaigning is seen as a risk to their appeal among youth voters. The hosts compare the orchestration of Obama's public persona to the management of a celebrity like Amy Winehouse. They argue that the "celebrity" strategy was effective until the Republican party began using it against them.
