(42,666 posts)102. No, and you are using classic sophistry and whataboutism to try and muddy the waters from my
original reply that is valid, is correct, and still stands.
So you are in favor of the Just Us Democrats destroying and remaking the Party into their own image?
I was not talking about JD, I am not a fan of JD. You are openly attempting to put words in my word via false constructs and using a blatant 'loaded question' logical fallacy.
I was talking about the toxic twitter trolls in other ideological and agitprop lanes, troll and wannabe trolls, shills, grifters, etc etc, that I see all the time. Some in that ecosphere have had so, so many of their twitter accounts are banned, but they pop up with new ones.
Often on Twitter, so many of these types, that swarm certain tweets, are just sock puppet burner accounts/bots used to amplify their impact exposure and drive traffic, like Sally Albright got caught doing. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Sally Albright's main account was banned (and still is) from Twitter btw for targeted abuse.
How A Twitter Fight Over Bernie Sanders Revealed A Network Of Fake Accounts
One Democratic Party consultant said an unnamed client controlled many of these accounts.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/democratic-bot-network-sally-albright_n_5aa2f548e4b07047bec68023
When Russians at the Internet Research Agency interfered in U.S. politics, they created false online personas and fake political groups to amplify divisive messages that already had a homegrown American audience. Its not too far from what some U.S. political consultants are doing themselves.
Take Sally Albright, a Democratic Party communications consultant who backed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016. Unsurprisingly, Albright is vocally opposed to President Donald Trump and a big supporter of the resistance to his administration. She is also one of the loudest, most divisive voices attacking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Clintons onetime Democratic primary opponent, and his left-wing supporters.
Well after the primary, Albright continues to claim that Sanders is a fraud, a liar, racist and corrupt, among many other things. In one instance she declared that the policy idea of free college, as promoted by Sanders, was racist. This provoked Sanders supporters to argue back.
Trevor, a Sanders supporter who declined to provide his last name for fear of being doxxed, but goes by @likingonline on Twitter, noticed a strange pattern of behavior when Albright responded to him. Her tweets addressing him were rapidly retweeted by the same series of accounts. This created a barrage of notifications making it look as though there was an avalanche of opposition to everything he said.

here is an archive snapshot of tweet above btw, where she calls free college (and thus implies Bernie is) 'racist'
Done here.
This OP thread is just the same old small group repeating the same things over and over and over, and then swarming on anyone who takes issues with elements of the constructs or methodologies of some of tools employed.
You are still at it, literally weeks later, almost a full month, in the same thread, going back and trying to repeat the same things, things that are not even germane to my original reply's point.
I am done participating in this.
