We all knew they were fake like the Obama Boys that they played last time. But to deny is not a move someone like Bernie would do, he simple said if people are doing it stop. I agree with that. But he did not coin the term or spread it.

If Bernie believes in your jingoistic shtick, he would have come out and said just what you are, that the "bros" are not real supporters, they were just Hillary shills, etc... But no, he didn't do that. He readily acknowledged them as a part of his base, and told them in no uncertain terms to get the fuck out.

I am more aligned with Hillary in many areas, but Sanders himself is an honorable and decent man...far more so than some of his base.

The HRC calls us delusional when Bill is standing in front of a polling station on multiple cameras and we call electioneering.
But not sure the point in discussing with you "If Bernie believes in your jingoistic shtick". What the hell does that even mean? Are you insulting us for being pro-American, or are you imply some sort of red or Nazi smear?

Sanders himself idenfited a misogynist element within his support base and told the "bros" to take a hike. There's nothing else to it; the "bros" actually existed, they were not a joe-job or a smear by the Clinton campaign.

Nice non sequitur about Bill though; A for effort, F for results.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Not sure if it is worth reporting twice, I toned down responses, told them they were off topic, and not they are back to sexist attacks that have nothing to do with the post.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Apr 23, 2016, 07:09 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This DU'er is way over the line is some of these posts. I hope they leave soon.... Truly offensive and out of place here.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a benign opinion about a candidate, so NOT personal. The alerter is a childish whiner. Grow up or get out of GD-P. NOT ALERTABLE OR HIDEABLE.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

The person you replie said "Your candidate's supporters" and attacked re: character.

The re-gift could have been "And your candidate's supporters don't know character".... not a personal attack.

The "You" shows that either you are identifying with his supporters so strongly that you cannot admit at the moment that some have behaved badly and felt personally attacked.... or you actually are striking out at the user instead of his message.

When you consider her foreign policy in a crisis - Syria and Honduras were crisis that she made seriously worse when she got involved-especially throwing her body in front of the first Syrian peace treaty and fighting to stop it while the head of the united nations kept telling her it would throw the country into Chaos and mass innocent people would die. She stopped it and mass blood shed ensued as well as all those drowning death from people fleeing the chaos and bloodshed. How badly she handled the Hondurian crisis has that whole South American continent de-stabilzed by the drug lords that now run the place. This woman has a lot of blood on her hands.

They are fluff, don't match her record, look like Levi's pants tabs (I am sure to look blue collar and blue democrat from a test group). Some of the wording is in direct opposition of her record especially the recent smear attacks (love and kindness...lolz). It should say why start a revolution, when you can just buy one. I think that is the one I will make tonight. Oh and the flag seems like she is trying for the working class, but the lack of angles or perspective makes it look like someone with no background in design made it or they were trying to get a bit Patton up in there? I could be wrong on the last bit. Oh and the ise of the grain is an attempt to make it look like it is more authentic, grassroots.

It seemed like a scam artist from overseas and a focus group got together and came up with it. I could be paranoid, but it set of my internal scamware.

That could actually be a funny skit of a person in the bar getting hit on by a paid troll...

Troll: I agree completely, I am with you...you know who else I am with? Hillary.


or

Troll: Are you hungry, because I am ready to order, I am also ready for Hillary.

And it is best for users here to know not to get too enraged by new posters with these images on here or elsewhere on the net as they are paid trolls that are supposed to be divisive. You can find better Hillary ones if you look, these are a bit cookie cutter bland.

It is like you just got stabbed by a friend in the back and they give you a hug while they do it...sure the hug alone is nice...but the hug was only done so they could not draw attention as they tried to stab you. She is putting out images like this as they are creating a fake group of trolls to attack Bernie supporters, create fake messages by fake Bernie supporters to either A do the all too familiar "I used to be a Bernie supporter" or to pretend to be "Bernie Bros" (something they themselves created) to smear us, or to put out fake support for Hillary and the super delegates for the press to report on. This is some scary Orwellian sh!t that they are so ok with it they can just announce it, and some people are ok with it.

On Fri Apr 22, 2016, 08:29 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Why is this a problem?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1813673

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

We all know he did not call her a "working woman", it was a completely unrelated meaning. This post is a flame attempt to pull off the theme of the message. If the poster wants to start that smear again they should do it on their own thread.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Apr 22, 2016, 08:33 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Enough with these oblique attacks on Senator Sanders. Can you not support HRC without attacking Senator Sanders? Seems that YOU are representative of the "nastiness" from Clinton supporters.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The doctor didn't even use her name.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


Apparently, some among us are irony-challenged...

But I would figure much would be since he has a twitter account, uses emails, has a website...you do know those are all for social media right? You also know there is a huge difference between social outreach, videos, and the like, and paying fake people to infiltrate and lie about your opponent, or to create posters to pretend to be your opponents so then they can act poorly and damage your opponents reputation. That is dictator social media bad that the HRC camp is using.

The person lays out definitive proof that they have gotten at the corruption in the system, the systemic manipulation and lies to control the masses in some nefarious Orwellian manner. They present it to the protagonist as they fall tot eh ground from a dagger to the back...and the protagonist looks at the dossier reading it from start to end, gets up from their table and says...
"Ohhhh, pffft." as they toss the papers on the dead body walking off. Perhaps saying to himself out loud, "You guys are paranoid."

Part of the reason Hillary lost in 2008 is that the internet was an effective base to organize and fund the efforts to help Barack Obama win. She is making sure it will not be her Achilles heel again.

111. Hmm...campaign collateral.
Sat Apr 23, 2016, 12:32 PM
Apr 2016

As long as I have been involved in politics, which is almost 60 years, campaigns have made images, slogans, and other such collateral available to supporters to promote the campaign.

It appears that history is repeating itself in 2016. It's easier now, since a person can copy and paste such collateral and post it here and there around the Internet. I've seen lots of such things, from all of the campaigns, everywhere I go.

I imagine we'll see these and other campaign posters, etc. frequently as the campaign goes forward. Why would anyone be surprised?

Here's an interesting thing, though: You have posted a whole series of Clinton campaign images right in the original post of this thread adding to their availability to all and sundry.

I'm sure the campaign is grateful to you for doing that. And I'm equally sure you weren't paid to post them. Neither will others who post them be paid.

They are not about posters, they have existed long before our time...it is about fake bots going out and posting, paid posters to lie, mimic, infiltrate, create false positive and negative narratives...it is something you would expect in Russia or in a place closer to a dictatorship...but not in the US.

Why did I post them? Because I have to post the link anyways or I will be called a liar, and the point is IF YOU SEE THEM then be careful, they are being used by this group, so even the Hillary people should be careful, we are not eye to eye, but that doesn't mean I should not warn them of the scam.

The third one was especially interesting, since it involved people posting those images on places like the Facebook pages of superdelegates who are supporting Hillary Clinton. The idea is to counter the ugly stuff being posted on them by people who claim to support Bernie Sanders.

Now, I don't know about you, but I've visited the Facebook pages of my two Senators and my congressional representative. Al Franken's FB page is chock full of comments from people calling him a traitor. My representative, Betty McCollum, has someone deleting such ugly negative comments from her page.

So, I don't really have much of a problem with Clinton supporters, paid or unpaid, posting those small graphics, that appear to be designed for posting in comment areas. It's a good way to reply to so-called Sanders supporters who are threatening those superdelegates and calling them vile names.

So, yes, I did read the links. Every campaign pays people to campaign for it. There are paid staffers and others doing that for every candidate, including Bernie Sanders. Of course, there are also people pretending to be Sanders supporters who are posting vile garbage in the same places.

I don't know - it seems like a political campaign to me. There's always dirt and responses to that dirt. I see nothing ominous in what you posted. Truly, I do not.

Let me get this straight, you are in favor of a paid group going to create FALSE support for a party official that have voted against the will of the people in that state? So you are saying it is ok for a paid propaganda group from another part of the country to go in to local politics and subvert the peoples right to petition the government? You are arguing for some pretty disgusting things, you are on the wrong side of history right now...for a party that loves to paint Trump as a Nazi she is getting a bit too Storm Departmenty for me...
