I think the DNC needs to hire a thousand anti-trolls to post on social media - Youtube [View all]

Twitter, Facebook and in the comments pages of right winged propagation sites like Breitbart and Info-wars.

If you look at some of these places there are so many posts that look the same. "I am praying for our great president Trump" for example.

Even if they were given short progressive FACTS to post and re-post we could at least have a hand in this dis-information game.

I cannot see us winning another presidential election unless these fake news and fake trolls are contained. (Also we need to use an algorithm to get real news to the top of Google for a fucking change)

It may not even take a thousand people, (maybe a couple hundred college students part time?). I have made anti-Trump posts with a link and just kept clicking on pro-Trump videos and pasting them as the latest comment. It does not take that long to bombard a lot of pro-Trump and racist videos if you just keep pasting. I know that is what the Russian bots do
