Over the last week, folks in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Spain, or the U.K., were able to swipe left or right on some of the most crucial issues at stake in the upcoming presidential election. From immigration to climate change, health care to education, users had the chance to determine whether their policy stance put them with Hillary Clinton or on the #TrumpTrain.
As Tinder explained on its blog post, “When you see the ‘Swipe the Vote’ card, simply tap on the card and swipe in the direction of the choice you agree with. To learn more about the issue, just tap the card before you swipe.” To make things a bit more interesting, users were asked beforehand who they planned on voting for, just to see how consistent their policy positions are with their presidential choice.
Globally, however, Clinton had a much wider margin of victory, with 80 percent of users matching with her based on the issues and 73 percent saying they would vote for the first female president in the U.S.”The Swipe the Vote poll will be live on Tinder through [Tuesday]. So if you haven’t weighed in, don’t forget to tap on the ‘Swipe the Vote’ card and participate,” Tinder noted on its blog post. “And if you’re in the U.S., be sure to locate your nearest polling location once you match with your candidate by tapping ‘Go Vote.’”Article published in October 2016.
