Here is something a bit curious. I frequent the Daily Mail mostly to gauge public opinion on all things mainstream. Someone mentioned Hillary could have Parkinson's. When I first saw the comment, it had around 200 up votes with a smattering of down votes. I come back today and the thing has been down voted to oblivion over 26,000 times! I read a lot of articles on here and let's just say 26,000 votes on any of them is pretty insane. For comparison even the most up voted comment only had 10,000+ up votes/ Wish I had screen grabbed the first time I saw that comment but just the same here are the screen grabs currently. Methinks someone doth protest too much! Most down voted comment. Most up voted comment.

I mean, this is really not a little thing!
And if it's going on elsewhere online, it's a very important thing. Of course support is being inflated elsewhere if it's being inflated at the DM.
I personally think that looking at how disinfo is spread is the surest path to waking up.

I do indeed feel that way. It's strangely.... palpable to me. Like gravity is tenth a G more than normal or something. This political race is the perfect illustration of the concept: "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."
Hence I'm voting Jill Stein, and the world can hang.

You are not alone.
Many have decided that a vote between Satan and the Devil takes us straight to hell anyway, so they are opting to throw away their vote.
It is like someone pissing in the ocean. It depends on how close you are to the pisser, whether or not you will notice.

No one cares about those comments. They like to read them. But they don't matter in the least . They're comments on a news article on a sometimes questionable news website. Why would anyone care or why would it matter who gets the most stars. You really think it's to influence opinions? Really?
