I know 2020 is basically here (WHY THO), but I never thought I’d see libs play the blame game this early. I mean, SERIOUSLY? Hillary Clinton is straight up talking about “foreign actors” interfering in the election…ALREADY.
In the article, Politico talks all about how it believes far too many entities are spreading false information– like inaccurate memes (for real)– on big 2020 names like Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Beto.
A POLITICO review of recent data extracted from Twitter and from other platforms, as well as interviews with data scientists and digital campaign strategists, suggests that the goal of the coordinated barrage appears to be undermining the nascent candidacies through the dissemination of memes, hashtags, misinformation and distortions of their positions. But the divisive nature of many of the posts also hints at a broader effort to sow discord and chaos within the Democratic presidential primary.
The cyber propaganda — which frequently picks at the rawest, most sensitive issues in public discourse — is being pushed across a variety of platforms and with a more insidious approach than in the 2016 presidential election, when online attacks designed to polarize and mislead voters first surfaced on a massive scale.
They are already doing this. They are ALREADY blaming their future loss on mean memes.
Meanwhile, media outlets pump out ACTUAL FAKE NEWS on Trump regularly, and *crickets*.
I should note that Politico admits that some of the memes are created by random people. It’s not all a vast Russian conspiracy.
Not all of the activity is organized. Much of it appears to be organic, a reflection of the politically polarizing nature of some of the candidates.
I guess Hillary didn’t read that part.
It’s comical at this point. They are already trying to come up with excuses in case they lose to Trump again.
They just can’t accept that a lot of us see through their big government scams. Half this country is still #NeverSocialism, but they refuse to acknowledge that.
