It is no doubt that in this day in age that the internet have an immense effect on politics especially when it comes to political campaings. I have never blogged before so I don't know personally how blogging affects politics however I know that there are many youtube videos that covers political topics and more. I fell upon a youtuber who's a comedian and does music video spoofs. A few of his spoofs videos are about Obama after he won the election. They are not only funny but some of the message in the lyrical contents are strong and straightforward. Here are the links for his videos:

I posted my favorite videos of his (since this is my blog lmao) anyways look at the number of views and his ratings he received. His message is heard by many and many people agreed with him also. This is one of the many ways of how internet affects the political world.
Another topic I would like to mention also (and I would really like you guys to look more on the issue if you haven't heard about it yet. The cause of Nobel Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi. I have never heard of her before this summer when I had to do a presentation on her leadership skills (to me the woman is more than a leader she is a hero and one of a kind) and as part of my presentation I showed a couple of youtube videos that are promoting her cause:

Here are the videos I used on my presentation for Aung San Suu Kyi. As you will see it is a very serious issue that is current and the website that promoted the video is: http://www.humanrightsactioncenter.org/dyr/
I would highly suggest you guys to check it out. By just checking the website out and promoting it (I posted the link on my facebook and there are many facebook groups that support Ms Kyi who is currently in house arrest in Burma because she's fighting for freedom) you'll be helping the issue to. Also the website ask to send you congressman/woman and speaker of the House and Senate on the Issue (the letter is wrtten for you all you need to do is put your name and send it. This cause is important as not only because of the injustice but Ms Kyi sacrificed a lot for her country and it would be nice for her to get the international support that she needs.
I just use this blog noto only to talk about politics but to promote a political issue. Internet is changing the world in many ways and the politcal is highly affected by it.
