The problem with Twitter is that it's easily manipulated. HALF of the tweets circulating thru Egypt during #Arabspring turned out to have been sourced in Israel.

I don't know how many people have actually responded with their own "walk away" story (probably authentic) versus how many have simply retweeted and/or responded (could be bots). Like I said, I think this is mainly a "self-recognition" moment, not destined to change many minds. OTOH, is IS an indication that traditional liberals are getting turned off by the extremely toxic turn that you demonstrate.

What people REALLY think will be demonstrated in the upcoming elections and in 2020. Don't dismiss these movements, and don't dismiss the polling numbers which show that Republicans are coming up in the polls. You made that mistake last time, and you got nailed with a big case of PTSD which you're still working thru.

If you want to do something BESIDES living in a state of denial, how about pushing the DNC and the DCCC to start actually representing Americans as a whole, not just a pastiche of presumed-victim-subgroups. Being a registered Democrat, I get a lot of questionnaires and phone calls, and I let them know every time where I think they fucked up, and how I think they should be doing better.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

That's a problem or the opportunity? I think we know!
Precisely why it's fertile ground for Russian influence - do you deny the logic in that?

Of course it isn't. I demonstrate a negative pov for lying trolls like the people promoting this fake movement. *cough*

Of course you are wrong. If people are manipulated with false info like this then they will make false choices.
You know this and yet you deny.

It's gotta be tricky being pro Putin. You have to swallow your intelligence to back Trump for the ultimate goal of supporting Putin - your pride must be taking a beating.

Do me a favor and don't assign motivations to me because you A) clearly don't read my posts, and B) are confusing everyone with everyone else lately.

I made 2 mistakes last time:

1. I under estimated how many people hated Hillary and just how much they hated her. If you recall, I said many bad things about her, but there was a larger than anticipated ground swell of hatred for her. Much of that was due to the false info from people like the walkaway shills. You know how politics works, so you acting like this is news is just embarrassing.

2. I underestimated how far and wide and on how many levels Russia influenced the election. If you recall, I have tipped my hat to their efforts.

Yeah, like they don't know that already... good deflection.

I propose a counter effort, this one real though (of course). Actual registered Republicans who have had enough of this disgusting sack of sh*t represent us and will put their name on record. Such as George Will and on and on.

Conservative Writer Max Boot Calls GOP ‘White-Nationalist Party’, Endorses Democratic ‘Takeover’

Like former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt and conservative columnist George Will before him, Washington Post columnist Max Boot has not only seceded from the GOP, but declared war against it, as his new column outlines in fiery detail.

I don't deny the logic, but you're pretending that nobody else has access to Twitter and nobody else knows how to manipulate it. There's only one good response to the problem of media-manipulation (because it comes from all directions on all different channels) and that is to listen to multiple sources, focus on the facts, and try to understand the big picture.

You've been nothing but a troll since I started reading your posts, you attack people instead of focusing on issues, and you justify your bad behavior (and the bad behavior of others) with the same rationalizations as any bully. So yeah, you're toxic. And a troll.

Are you denying that this person exists and posted a video? Are you denying that leftwing hate groups have been formed? That people have walked away from the Democratic party? How is this (#walkaway) "false" info?

This is why you're being tagged as a troll.

THIS from the guy who just assigned "pro Putin" motivations to me? God, you're such a troll.

All you trolls sound alike to me, so if I confuse you with REAVERFAN or THUGR, maybe you should distinguish your posts from the other trolls by ... not being a troll.

"False info" like ... what? That she was videoed saying "We came, we saw, he died" *giggle*? You've mentioned "false info" a couple of times, and you've never been able to show that it was "false".

This is such a crock. Maybe your real problem is that you just can't believe that 63 million Americans might have had one or two legitimate reasons to vote for Trump/ against Hillary.

Are you SO CORRECT and SO RIGHTEOUS that it justifies despising half of the American voting population as Nazis or Russian dupes? I think you might want to go back and examine where you went wrong in your understanding of your fellow Americans, and maybe feel a little more respect whe

Self-described Nazis and white supremacists are running as Republicans across the country. The GOP is terrified.
The racist candidates are expected to lose, but they could drag their party down with them.

Terrified? More like "complicit." They know who they pander to.

Yup, the Nazis are your problem, not the Dems'. Own it.
