Attacking the person fallacy. let's do better, shall we? Besides, she isn't a tiny rodent.

Actually, I had every attention of attacking the person. She is a disgusting human being.

As far as the rodent reference...it was the best I could do without violating the T&C.

I'm with you, just hold a lottery every 2 years.

If you have EVER held an elected position in government you are ineligible.

I would prefer a convicted felon over the choices we have.

At least the felon has done his time, maybe it is time for the selected criminals to do theirs.

Hillary and her campaign managers must consider it important to care about...She announced her candidacy on Twitter.

That's fair.

I hope it doesn't happen though. She has more scandals than a daytime TV program.

I am sure they will be.

Just think folks, only 19 MORE months of this BS.

Wait till the hate really gets going.

And after we suffer through all the inevitable hate and lies, it will NOT MATTER who gets in.

New boss, same as the old boss.

Enjoy the show.

wrong...with this republican congress and a right-wing supreme court, there will be no turning back whatever silly ass laws they will pass, or good ones that they will do away with if they complete the trifecta with a right-wing republican as president

a reply to: Metallicus

generally right-generated ones. The email thing was a tempest in a teacup, as she did it before the law was enacted. I agree, her Benghazi comments were callous; in my opinion she should've brought up Reagan and asked where the outrage was. Yes, I like Hillary....but if a Warren/Sanders ticket was even remotely possible I'd jump on that ship faster than Jawas on an unattended R2 unit.

a reply to: Ironhawke

Well, your half right.

a scandal is a scandal when there is proof of one, not because right-wingers insist on it being one. there are various lessons on this in Mein Kampf....www.historyplace.com...
political propaganda at it's finest and deadliest

Kind of like Obamas first 2 years.

So how many of these non-existent followers will vote?

The burning irony ....

not much on ABC, CBS, or NBC about:

Markeece Young, known by his Twitter handle @YoungBLKRepub, is a 19-year-old self-confessed "Democrat-turned-Conservative" who single-handedly took down the social media campaign of Hillary Clinton's bid for president.

Young created the hashtag #WhyImNotVotingForHillary on Twitter, which quickly rose above "Hillary Clinton" as the number-one trend in America.

CNN's Brain Stelter posted the results:

Hillary's Social Media Campaign Toppled by Young Black Republican

a reply to: IAMTAT

Obama did the same thing. These people are all the scum of the Earth and we let them have control and positions of power. Why? That's the million dollar question.

a reply to: MystikMushroom

Actually considering that the Democrats and their big money donors [i.e. Gates and Soros] were the ones credited for bringing politics in tune with the internet this is not surprising. I would also think that this should make people start questioning the petitions on the White House site.

Wow, she made him famous



By snuffing out his freedom of speech with money

This is the biggest problem I have with the whole political system as it stands right now. Ok, this is about the US, but it's the same here in the UK.
We get to choose between a bunch of establishment selected scumbags, out for personal enrichment and glory, as well as rewarding the big money interests that paid for the campaign and to maintain the status quo of control, or enact even more control measures as well as maybe start a war or two. We all suffer as a result, except those at the top, the ones responsible for it all.

The compliant corporate press do their duty and will publish glowing reports of just how good the various candidates are for the country, when in fact they know damned well the person will be a complete disaster for the country, but will enact measures that will see their own stock portfolios and payoffs increase even further.

People are just too conditioned to look beyond the main parties and polarized by the press into the Left / right camps to even think about getting rid of the whole lot of incumbents. Then they spend the entire term of the idiot they helped put in power whining about how bad they are for the country!

Back to Billary though, she is one dangerous psychopath. I see already the scandals being brushed aside by some as just political dirty tricks, but for heavans sake, when you look at the whole history of the Clintons and the years of criminal and questionable acts, it becomes apparent that the 2 of them should be behind bars for life, not aspiring to take over the running of the country. If people like that are the best we can expect to govern us, then we are truly all screwed. I say all this as the UK is nothing more than a big military launchpad for the US and a client state, so whoever they put in the Whitehouse will have a big effect on my life as well. I used to think maybe people were waking up to all the criminal acts and getting screwed all the time, but I am fast losing all hope that it'll happen in my lifetime. I therefore see the ballot box as irrelevant until such time as the system that keeps these crime families in power changes.

Morning rant over... time for more coffee!

Aaaaaand I'm sure it will happen with Koch Brother-funded candidates too. This likely isn't something mutually exclusive to one party over another.

It's not mutually exclusive to anyone...

Out of my 200+ followers at least a quarter are dormant and/or robots...


It's a glitch that arises whenever you reach a certain amount of followers the ratio adapts...

1:10 fake
2:20 fake
100:1000 fake

And so on.



OP;
Blame Hillary for whatever you like...
Even this, if it cheers you all up...

But that's how Twitter works.



& as Sremmos said, nobody went through 2million followers details...

& if they did, you want to complain about where the money to do so came from...
Not the ones who only had to press a follow button to "fix the books".

With all due respect to you and your Twitter account, Charlie, it has been VERIFIED that Hillary followers have been literally purchased!

"FaithVoters4Hillary" Verified Twitter Account Has Thousands of Fake Followers UPDATE: Over 12k "Followers" Purged on Sunday

A verified @Faith4Hillary Twitter account purporting to be the "Faith and Value Voters for Hillary Clinton 2016" appears to have purchased a large percentage of its 42.6k followers.

The website Twitter Audit determined that more than half of the account's followers were obtained by "inorganic, fraudulent, or dishonest means," and the similar website StatusPeople calculated that only 18 percent of the account's followers were "good."

townhall.com...

While Clinton was America's top diplomat, her State Department was buying Facebook 'likes,' according to an Associated Press report from last year.

'In 2013, the State Department, which has more than 400,000 likes and was recently most popular in Cairo, said it would stop buying Facebook fans after its inspector general criticized the agency for spending $630,000 to boost the numbers,' the wire service reported.

www.dailymail.co.uk...

How much does it cost to buy Twitter and Facebook followers? There are dozens of online companies that sell followers, and the price varies depending on how many you want added to your account. There are also fees for “extras” including automatic likes and retweets.

Devumi Social Media Marketing will add 100,000 followers to your Twitter account for a one-time payment of $397. Followers are added over the course of six or seven weeks. For an additional payment of $97, your Twitter posts will get at least 1,000 automatic daily retweets and favorites daily for one month. Facebook “likes” work the same way, with most companies charging around $300 for 10,000 likes that are added over time — usually in the range four to six weeks.

According to Digital Sherpa, the purchased followers are “low paid workers employed by ‘click farms'” to like and follow your Twitter and/or Facebook accounts. For a price, they will tweet, retweet and like your posts, but they won’t respond to tweets or comment on Facebook conversations.

Reports that Hillary Clinton may be padding her Twitter and Facebook accounts with fake followers isn’t the first time the Democratic presidential candidate has been in the news for buying social media fans. The Huffington Post reports that in 2013, while Clinton was Secretary of State, the State Department spent $630,000 buying Facebook fans.

And when are they going to do the other candidates?

I don't doubt they fluff their numbers, that is the age we sadly live in with social media.

Why are people trying to make a big deal about it?
