    https://train-dems.us resolves to https://traindemocrats.org

    “Paid for by the National Democratic Training Committee PAC”

    edit: https://pitchbook.com/profiles/person/54951-76P

    “Eric has a PhD in Economics from Stanford and worked on Facebook’s ad auctions for over 3 years. He’s currently working on a behavioral finance startup.”

    “behavioral finance” code word for psychological manipulation using money, typical Blue MAGA

    edit 2: someone else had claimed to have verified that the whois for both urls matched, but I did not double check. After double-checking, in actuality, they do not match - train-dems goes to the Amazon Registrar wheres traindemocrats goes to the Cloudflare Registrar.

    It is not likely that a website operator would utilize two different registrars like that, so this is instead a likely case of outside interference.

    Blue MAGA should be ashamed of using the UN UDHR as a checklist for a platform instead of practicing Human Rights and ratifying ICESCR.

    And Mr Eric Mayefsky, apologies, and I just hope that you will not be practicing any dark patterns of psychology.

      Funnily enough that’s exactly how I interpret “former monetisation manager at Meta” as well.

        former monetisation manager at Meta

        elsewhere he described it as “has a PhD in Economics from Stanford and worked on Facebook’s ad auctions for over 3 years”

        our best and brightest, working hard to screw us over. Thanks Stanford!
