2016 Postmortem

Seriously.
I know times are tough and the new economy means we try to get by on gigs. But how little self respect do you have to have to intentionally mislead people and to poison public discourse?
I guess it is somewhat better than being a bill collector, but not that much better.
What is the psychological impact of a person doing BrockWork when they go to sleep at night? Do they try to clear their minds of what they do?
I have run into dozens of these creatures on Twitter and I have to say I am beginning to feel very sorry for these people whose lives have come to this dead end.

(891 posts)"While Hillary Clinton fights to break down barriers and bring America together, the Barrier Breakers 2016 digital task force will serve as a resource for supporters looking for positive content and push-back to share with their online progressive communities, as well as thanking prominent supporters and committed superdelegates on social media."
and "The task force currently combats online political harassment, having already addressed more than 5,000 individuals who have personally attacked Secretary Clinton on Twitter."
Nowhere has it ever been suggested that he's paying people to harass Bernie supporters or promote lies. Never has it been suggested that he's paying trolls to ban Bernie's facebook groups or any of the other heinous bullshit spouted by "Bernie Supporters."
Beyond that, to automatically assume that anyone who is new or who supports hillary is a paid troll is the height of paranoia

(3,133 posts)Hint: Hillary has already started it....and has been selling arms for all of it via the foundation. But that is the kind of voter who supports a Brock puppet. An ill informed voter. She has all that experience she said. She could name all of her jobs. But not the fuck ups in any of them.
