I thought the complaint about Russian bots was not so much that they formed the membership of Facebook groups but that, with the aid of data and algorithms from Cambridge Analytica and similar organisations, they generated and promoted tailor-made content to individuals in order to influence them to support groups like #walkaway.Well one of those Russian Bots of the #walkaway movement came running up to me and Hubman at the movie theater
The fuck? You know, in the thread which we don't talk about here, because it's behind a logon, and because it's not the place for politics, I resisted the effort to counteract your claim that Planned Parenhood should somehow try to convince that those who come to them intent upon abortion, they should somehow instead compel them to keep the child. I was irritated by your post, because. Fuck me...You and yours went there, not the other way around.Well one of those Russian Bots of the #walkaway movement came running up to me and Hubman at the movie theater where we were seeing Gosnell because she recognized me from the group and wanted to shake my hand. Of course, she wanted to shake my hand because I complained about the number of life long Republicans in the group who act like the group is a recruitment center for the Republican party. Turns out she also voted 3rd party in the last election.
Since the part of Virginia where he lives still has paper ballots where you fill in a circle for your vote like the SAT - Spawn says he's going to get a picture of himself holding up the ballot showing all the Republicans filled in with his middle finger sticking up - post it on Facebook and tag some Democrat family friends saying he wants to personally thank them for convincing him to vote Republican.
Failure to take responsibility for one's own vote is not a good look.Since the part of Virginia where he lives still has paper ballots where you fill in a circle for your vote like the SAT - Spawn says he's going to get a picture of himself holding up the ballot showing all the Republicans filled in with his middle finger sticking up - post it on Facebook and tag some Democrat family friends saying he wants to personally thank them for convincing him to vote Republican.
Posting a picture of himself holding up his middle finger to so-called family friends? WTF is that? That's nasty. Even, I, someone who disavowed people who I found out voted for Trump, after the fact, struggling even as I did so, because love, would never have thought to be so ugly. His momma apparently didn't teach him limits or etiquette. It is certainly not something I would find boastworthy, which is, most definitely, how this post comes across.Failure to take responsibility for one's own vote is not a good look.
Wow, what an asshole. Take that however you will.Well one of those Russian Bots of the #walkaway movement came running up to me and Hubman at the movie theater where we were seeing Gosnell because she recognized me from the group and wanted to shake my hand.

I believe that was also tried with donnie. Probably it would be better to cast protection wards on issues he may try to influence.
That is, to my mind, a major reason why a lot of people support Trump -- not because they particularly agree with his policies but because they see it as trolling liberals.a shirt that says “Fuck facts. I vote from spite”
Which shows how utterly stupid they are, as it ends up hurting them just as much if not more than the liberals.That is, to my mind, a major reason why a lot of people support Trump -- not because they particularly agree with his policies but because they see it as trolling liberals.
Usually more so. Take health care for example ..... quite a few of his base did not have insurance before the ACA.Which shows how utterly stupid they are, as it ends up hurting them just as much if not more than the liberals.
Well the ignore function works nicely. I don't have the time for duplicitous arseholes.
It's a useful thing, though, to see a reminder of why it is important to vote. Spite voters vote. Every time. Governor down to dog catcher. From a place of It's Your Fault I'm Hitting You abusive daddy mentality. Angry Tea Partiers vote for kakistocrats. Angry liberals historically pout and stay home, or protest vote.Every time I reach a point of letting bygones be bygones, Zaida reminds me just why I shouldn't trust her. The spitefulness just never turns off. Fortunately, there's an easy remedy for that. Ignore.
YOU are the very first person I think of when it comes to posts like that. I haven't forgotten past posts. I haven't forgiven them either. You deserve to have a happy life with your wife, and Zaida actually donated to a group that opposes that.Every time I reach a point of letting bygones be bygones, Zaida reminds me just why I shouldn't trust her. The spitefulness just never turns off. Fortunately, there's an easy remedy for that. Ignore.
They do. Still working on getting those non-voters out the door, into my car, or if far away other means. I think, if we aren't able to stop this road to despotism this November, we are fucked. We were fucked on election night 2016. Soft coup, imo. But, if we aren't able to rally the troops, goodbye to the world we have known.It's a useful thing, though, to see a reminder of why it is important to vote. Spite voters vote. Every time.

And here we are.
