The final presidential debate was last night, and while we’re going to refrain from making any commentary about it, we can’t help but be amused by a pair of websites created by former Facebook product manager Alexandre Roche in anticipation for the event. They’re called CallADeplorable.com and CallAnElitist.com, and they work like this: if you’re a Hillary Clinton supporter and feel the desire to have a, uh, levelheaded conversation about the issues with a die-hard Trump supporter, you can visit ‘Call a Deplorable’, enter your phone number and wait until the system matches you up with someone from the other side. The same idea works the other way: if you’re a die-hard Trump supporter, you can visit ‘Call an Elitist’ and wait to be connected with a Hillary supporter. Your actual phone numbers are kept anonymous, just in case you’re matched up with someone interested in doing a little more than having a simple phone conversation. You should know that you might have to wait a while until you’re matched up, because it all depends on demand. Still, if you’re so convinced your candidate is the right choice and can’t figure out why the opposite side just can’t see it your way, you now have a simple way to ask them directly.
