The hiring of online trolls is the internets equivalent of the Brown Shirts!
Go hilley...

Trolls, lies, and super pacs, are the tools of the democratic party these days.
I remember a day when Dems were revolted that SCOTUS ruled in favor of Citizens United,
now HRC supporters hail it as great election tool when the Super Pacs are being used by hilley.
Reminds me of flip flopping, and that is representative of #WhichHillary and her supporters!

A very interesting point, you have made!
Agreed. That leaves TWO candidates free from the financial influence of Super Pacs...ONE from each party.
The two candidates the party is against!
LOL's

Clooney on Political Fundraising: 'It's an Obscene Amount of Money'
George Clooney tells Chuck Todd that attending political fundraisers costs an "obscene" amount of money, and said the Sanders campaign is justified in its criticism.
A trio of pro-Hillary Clinton groups raised more than $24 million in the first half of the year, including $2 million each from billionaires George Soros and Haim Saban, POLITICO has learned.

I fear the internet is becoming broken as a true tool for communication.
Between real trolls and contrarian misanthropes, the upswing in the popularity in misanthropy for its own sake (seriously, it is a fun pastime for many, many people online nowadays, to inflict aggravation and suffering on others... often crossing the line into overt harassment - yay, so fun) and now the emerging phenomenon of paid astroturfing, sock puppets, etc. I feel as though what had the potential to become humanity's greatest medium for communication and transformative global dialogue has been subverted and toxified virtually beyond hope.
There's no way to know if who you're having a discussion with is sincere, or simply playing some sort of game with you anymore. Or paid to do so. Are they a 12 year old having fun at your expense? Are they just legitimately that hostile toward you? Are they paid to frustrate? Who knows! Could be all or none of the above.
I suppose on the flip side, it does make me more thankful and hopeful every time I see or experience a positive exchange of thoughts and feelings that ends with both people feeling better rather than worse. If only that weren't so rare.
Peace.
