Facing an unpredictable opponent, we launched a flurry of websites aimed at highlighting policy differences between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, checking facts, and raising money. All of our work was based in evidence, and we found inventive ways to share that knowledge with supporters.
For the first presidential debate, we launched Literally Trump: a (non-exhaustive) database of all of the conspiratorial, insulting, and duplicitous statements Donald Trump had made during his campaign. Literally Trump served as a fact checker on the candidate; visitors could search any phrase or topic, and were encouraged to react by sharing the quotes on social media.
Hillary Clinton’s history of public service is vast and consequential, and we wanted to remind voters of all her accomplishments. Way Back When allowed people to shuffle through the years and land on a random comparison of what Hillary and Trump were doing at that particular moment in time—and their résumés couldn’t be more different.
In an election year with an unprecedented amount of breaking news, our team built an agile method of publishing thoroughly researched articles on Donald Trump, providing a detailed analysis of his questionable business dealings.
We created Trump Yourself to communicate the petty insults Trump had been spewing at women, minorities, and other marginalized groups, to allow the rest of the country to feel the connection between his words and the individuals he was attacking.
Donald Trump was notorious for his erratic tweets, late-night tweetstorms, and tendency to fire back at people on Twitter. We built a fundraising tool that was responsive to his Twitter activity: every time he tweeted, Hillary’s campaign received donations.
