Hillary PAC Spends $1 Million to ‘Correct’ Commenters on Reddit and Facebook


I don't remember hearing about this at the time, but it was brought up by the TYT guys today. :dwillhuh:


"Citing “lessons learned from online engagement with ‘Bernie Bros,’” a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.

Correct the Record’s “Barrier Breakers” project boasts in a press release that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter.” The PAC released this on Thursday.

The PAC was created in May of last year when it was spun off from the American Bridge SuperPAC, which is run by longtime Hillary and Bill Clinton supporter David Brock. Brock also founded the left-wing media watchdog website Media Matters for America.

Some Bernie Sanders-supporting users on Reddit already started to notice the changes on Thursday afternoon.

“This explains why my inbox turned to cancer on Tuesday,” wrote user OKarizee. “Been a member of reddit for almost 4 years and never experienced anything like it. In fact, in all my years on the internet I’ve never experienced anything like it.”"

:why:

Posting here because there is the possibility that this same infrastructure gets remobilized this time.

Wait, so she really was paying people to post for her online? :dwillhuh:

The optics are terrible and basic human psychology means it almost certainly backfires. :mjlol:

At least we now know how a certain poster manages to put up 83 comments/day. :mjgrin:






You 48 and you still posting on the coli, ugh

I never got this as a burn. :childplease:

I mean come on fool, my knees have gone out, I can't ball any more, I'm happily married so I ain't out there chasing anything, got a steady and secure job, half the time I'm posting here while my baby girl naps on my chest.

If you 25 in the prime of your life and you're spending time on the freaking internet instead, ain't it you that got the problem? :what:

People seem to forget to bring this up when they bring up Obama, but he started off quite progressive then grew into more of a moderate center right.

Biden has always been to the right historically, so it baffles me why if Biden announces Bernie will lose voters. I just don't see that happening. At least not from everybody's reaction right now.
If you look at some of the polls, while Bernie Sanders beat the president by 2 points, Joe Biden today opens a 10 point lead.

I'm thirty, married, and work for myself I have all the time in the world to post on the coli.


Just giving Jay a hard time because he doesn't know how to click on links correctly apparently :rolleyes:


I think this more about deflecting from Bernie's dubious virtue signaling for him.



I'm not but what age you plan on stopping?
Let's start a countdown clock. :mjgrin:

You don't have to lie to kick it, Jay, you're at least in your early fifties. You've been posting on sohh and here going on 20 plus odd years.
:mjgrin:


Also what's wrong with my links? The Russia thing is a hoax amirite?




You guys really feel that strongly about Bernie's contrived statement on offsetting his emissions? Come on.

20 + years = 48 or 50 something years of age (please settle on a number if you are going for accuracy)? Your math skills are terrible. I hope you got a guy for that in your business. lol
Yeah, the Russia thing is not a hoax it just had little to no effect on the election. But people using Facebook to get information on their friends list and then spam them with information is very real. Is that what you're doing?
No one cares about Bernie's emissions and what he is doing about them, except you and Nap maybe. lol

Uh-huh

:laff:


You sound paranoid and delusional. Click on the photo and you go directly to the article and you completely bypass FB.


So we shouldn't care about global warming and emissions. Got it.

Why not just post a link from the article that has nothing to do with Facebook? You know like a normal person. lol
No, we shouldn't care what Bernie is personally doing on that front. It has little to no effect on the problem.

Yeah I believe they were called “Correct the record” or something like that.

It’s now incredible we have actual progressives running for President right now who have a shot and can break us from the Clintonite governing. Warren in particular seeks to wield power. She’s the only one I believe in to actually change something structurally.

Reading this from Chris Hedges who wrote in 2008 is :francis:

Hope for Corporate America
I still don’t get how y’all keep saying this when Warren is still a capitalist :pachaha:

Bernie is still easily to the left of her and ultimately wants to democratize capital... no body else wants to do that.

Pretty sure I’ve seen the opposite. Bernie is the most popular second choice for Biden supporters. It’s weird. Still early to read so much into these polls anyway.

Can I get a source on this? What issues and policies is he to the left of Warren on? She has proposed breaking up the largest, most powerful monopolies in the country and forcing large corporations to adhere to federal corporate citizenship regulation and have 40% of their board be represented by workers. If that's not democratizing capital, I would love to see Bernie's plan to do more.
