https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/757067627357360128?lang=en Since we all know the DNC have been proven to pay trolls to attack Bernie we can assume they continued this practise to attack Trump to. Just wondering other peoples views on this? With the midterms coming up if they were trolling we shall see an uptake in Anti Trumpers in the next 2 months.
This forum witnessed it when Trump won, for weeks after the the election trolls disappeared and vanished for months to then be reincarnated with new names and mission.....
Absolutely . They are easy to pick out . They will insist hussain obama and the clintons are good for America and Americans. I would give you a few names but im sure you know the traiters by now.
After enjoying this hobby for over 10 years, it becomes easier to spot. I think it's important to include some background or verifying links when I'm responding to posts. I know how long it takes to dig them up. When I see these major tomes, with multiple links, etc., then responses with more bold headlines and more links, and then post averages in the 30-50/day, 365, it's clear they are simply performing a job. Seems to confirm when they launch into the same insulting personal attacks and pseudo intellectual babble. Could be wrong, but I can't see how anyone would have the time, unless they were being compensated.
Absolutely, they actually believe that they can influence a vote by pounding on the keyboard within this forum.
Personally I think that paid trolling is relatively rare; and mostly occurs only when a successful blogger type is recruited; and in that case we have a generally elevated writing style; a state of affairs that automatically rules out most leftist posters on most political forums. So I expect that almost none of our regular trolls are getting paid for their efforts. They are doing what they are doing because either they are true believers or because they are political cynics having convoluted fun. Not that any of it matters, With the economy having become roaringly robust in nature our leftist trolls are mostly 'talking' only to other true believers anyway.
I don't think there are any paid U.S. trolls on this site. There are DNC (and RNC) trolls on this site, but they work for free. I do think we have some Russian paid and unpaid trolls on this site, but they are laughably obvious.
Mods come and go. Being a hallway monitor is a shitty job regardless of ones leaning. I do enjoy 2 mods........the sexy Italian who enjoys good gravy and the gentleman who was prior service. Outside of that any Mod an 4 dollars gets you a beer.
Moon, do not know if I care for you yet, it takes time but your words ring true on this. Mods spank me for my mouth, and hear I thought I had a nice smile. No such animal as fair.
This forum is too trivial to bother with plus no one ever changes their mind so it would be 100% a waste of time and money. What I see among the membership are some highly reclusive, relatively anti-social and lonely people who watch the MSM and then rant and sob what they hear - sometimes at leaves that indicate severe psychological and emotional disturbance. Of course there are partisan hacks - though I suppose this is exactly the place for political junkies hoping that our voices somehow are heard by anyone and pretending we might make a difference - myself included in this latter comment. But no PAID trolls. There is no possible benefit of doing so.
On the other hand...... in order to get at least six or seven hundred people to show up to a Hillary event...... busses had to be hired to take zealots in from perhaps a hundred to two hundred miles or more away from the event....... while Trump rallies in the same town or city would often have twenty thousand or more in that same town or city...... One or two well paid zealots would know how to get dozens of certain types of people to get on those buses going to Hillary rallies.....
Hillary was a maligned establishment politician while Trump was a populist con man. All Trump had to do was talk a lot of crap and promise his angry target demographic the moon, and wallah. Yuge crowds at rallies in places full of such people.
