What age demographic still really uses facebook? American's 35+? All my friends us Messenger and the rest is on other social media platforms for content.

edit dont know why this got downvoted, it was a legit question because everyone knows who the primary age group of votes is, so Im wondering if there is data on age demographics of actual FB use.

You're probably right, but until recently that was also the people most likely to vote. [1] So going after your core demographic who can be found on one site makes sense. You said it yourself: younger people are spread across many different social media platforms. I assume that means reaching them as a whole requires more time, effort and expense than buying ads on Facebook.

I.e., the demo majority[0] and the only ones who actually vote.

Seems pretty solid.

It will be interesting when the election cycles start to cross over into eachother. For instance, start lining up primaries for an election 5 years away. We could be in a permenent election, with people slowly positioning themselves to be elected sometime later.

Then, we can finally give up and just draft our representatives. Two months before it's time for new politicians to take over, they would draw names, and do 6am door-kicking raids to abduct the "candidates" and take them to D.C. to represent us.

Reminder that the Russians primarily targeted black americans to agitate us over police brutality, and that every single media piece that gives more than 3 example ads without showing a single one target black americans is, with high probability (a statistician can formalize this), peddling an agenda. "White working class voters" were never the primary target and they targeted them less as the campaign went on.
