Time to "correct" the "Correct the Record". (fun with propaganda posters)

I love the ones I have seen so far, figured I would make a tread for us to just post our versions to compare and share. The other thread was getting a bit unwieldy and was more to do with spreading the word on and talking about the Superpac paid trolls of Correct the Record.

Here are mine. Due to the nature of the story I am sure there will be quite a few 1984 themes, I saw one already.

1st one speaks for itself, putting out a poster on love when you have the most militaristic candidate in our party running who has done constant smears and dirty tricks.


This one is playing on how she plays on her record the first
time in the house.


This one is pointing out how much these just look like ads.


And the whole paid for thing.


These last two are just Big Brother sylte ones in response to the Correct the Record's Orwellian ways.




A refresher course on the Superpac

Here's one for the voter to just fill in, it will save them time having to change it when she changes her posistions on issues or generally moves to the right.

This is how I felt when I read the article.


Here is my play on people trying to infiltrate a younger demographic.



Maybe they will see people responding to their tactics and realize they are going down a dark path that will hurt our party to no end. I should probably tweet them to them. Not really a Bernie thing to make negative posters, but this is less negative and more exposing to me, like several of my memes lately.

Sanders opposition to a Pathway to Citizenship. Or his old extremely sexist writings. Or his vote for one of the worst pieces of deregulation in the last century. Or his support for the MIC and it's failed equipment. Or his very personal need to protect gun manufacturers.

I won't because I'm not a righty and Sanders is better than most.

You would be lying, you would be using racism, you would be using tragedy for the advancement of your goals, you would be parsing his record like a shady lawyer, and you would be calling us sexist because you have a basic knowledge at best of his one essay 40 years ago. You would also be doing exactly what they have been doing non-stop already. You would also be missing the point that this is about a paid propaganda wing designed it infiltrate the media and create false narratives that half of our party is ok with. But post away, it is about time a non-paid person makes some good social media for Bernie.

P.S. you did notice the large number of images with Bernie's face posted on the Virgin Mary's body floating around, was that ok by you? These deal with issues, those just are attacking him in spite.

P.P.S. I am also only using the paid propaganda posters from the Machiavellian super PAC to make these.

He is on record for every single one of those points. Then again, I like Sanders far better than republicans so I wouldn't pull any shady shit like this.

When you parse your worse in a way to obfuscate the truth, but then again that "is" technically lying.

Also you and I differ, I think Hillary is far to close to the right to be a good choice. And two things:

1. You just pull any shady shit like this by wording your previous post about immigration and guns in a way you know is false.
2.The party is already doing it, so unless you are actively asking for them to stop you are also complicit.

We know for a fact that Sanders repeatedly voted against a pathway to citizenship. We know for a fact he has supported failed projects of the MIC and even fought tooth and nail to have them in his back yard. On and on.

I really think the image I will make tonight, in honor of your images here, will be one of him attacking one of our great institutions, Planned Parenthood. I'll share it with you here so you can cheer me on. Thanks.

I would never do such a thing. I'll leave supporting Trump and republicans up to you.

Planned Parenthood? The group that spent money we donated to support Hillary during the Primary even though Bernie has a far friendly view on a woman's rights to choose. Good one. You should make one of Hillary draining their accounts as poor women are trying to get those same funds for healthcare. Perhaps an IV drip, but she has pulled it and is draining it in to her pocket. (nice thanks for the idea.)Also you do know that citizenship had to do with slave wages and the like, it seems you are ok with the fact that our farmers on the east side of our state here down to the southern boarders with Mexico get paid nothing and get treated like slaves? You know that many people lose their jobs because of the corruption in the H1 visa program (many ca't sue because Microsoft and Amazon have riders that prevent you from it, Disney however is getting sued...NICE!).

2007: I voted against slavery-like guest worker programs

CLINTON: We should be deporting criminals, not hardworking immigrant families who do the very best they can and are keeping economies going in many places. I'm a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform. I was one of the original sponsors of the DREAM Act. I voted for comprehensive immigration reform in 2007. Senator Sanders voted against it at that time.
SANDERS: In terms of 2007 immigration reform, yeah, I did vote against it. I voted against it because the Southern Poverty Law Center said that the guest-worker programs that were embedded in this agreement were akin to slavery. Akin to slavery, where people came into this country to do guest work were abused, were exploited, and if they stood up for their rights, they'd be thrown out of this country. It wasn't just me who opposed it. It was LULAC, one of the large Latino organizations in this country. It was the AFL-CIO. It was some of the most progressive members of the United States Congress.




I would never do such a thing. I'll leave supporting Trump and republicans up to you.

Lol, you do know you are doing it right now but we are not supposed to single each other out in the DU, what I will say is that the HRC camp is doing it, that is where I got these posters, that is where Bernie Bros came from.
