Pro-Clinton Super PAC Caught Spending $1 Million On Social Media Trolls (usuncut.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from US Uncut: A Super PAC headed by a longtime Clinton operative is spending $1 million to hire online trolls to "correct" Bernie Sanders' supporters on social media. Correct The Record (CTR), which is operated by Clinton attack dog and new owner of Blue Nation Review David Brock, launched a new initiative this week called "Barrier Breakers 2016" for the purpose of debating supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders -- or "Bernie Bros," as they're referred to in Correct the Record's press official release -- on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other social media platforms. The "Barrier Breakers" will also publicly thank Hillary Clinton's superdelegates and fans for supporting her campaign. The paid trolls are professional communicators, coming from public relations and media backgrounds. "The task force staff's backgrounds are as diverse as the community they will be engaging with and include former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers, Ready for Hillary alumni, and Hillary super fans who have led groups similar to those with which the task force will organize," CTR stated.

Bernie still much?

So a Bernie shill is complaining that Hillary's paid shills are playing dirtier? I care. This is a false choice you have people. While Hillary would certainly be measurably worse than Bernie just due to her track record, that measure is small due to the overall lack of power that position has. It always frustrates me when presidential candidates start prattling on about all the things they're going to do. What they should be bragging about is all the things they're going to beg congress to do, since the president has no legislative power. Vetos, executive orders, and military decisions - this is what you're voting for. On the Democratic side your choices are a liar/cheat/manipulator vs. SJW. The republicans have a liar/cheat/manipulator vs. an unpredictable amateur. The choice is rough this time. It's a good thing it all doesn't really matter.
