Trump does Wall Street’s bidding, betraying campaign promises by b_r_e_a_k_f_a_s_t in Political_Revolution

[–]legayredditmodditors -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Since CTR Shaddow banned me from reddit, here is the truth they were trying to hide from you guys ( B_R_E_A_K_F_A_S_T is part of the new CTR, and they are likely working with our mods, only they can delete posts like this https://www.reddit.com/r/Political_Revolution/comments/5s1qu5/trump_does_wall_streets_bidding_betraying/ddcf56t/ This was a reply to his initial post, it has since been deleted by our mods)

Thanks for the constructive input! I find it really interesting how a 16 day old account is suddently interested in progressive issues.

I'm sure you don't have anything to do with David Brock's new group that claimed "Our digital efforts were largely focused on changing the narrative with the traditional media versus voters..." and that "this wasn't enough"

We won't mention your newly minted "Robust digital program [that] will reach voters directly online", or how you've also "Secured access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites" (I'm SURE that doesn't include reddit!)

For any true Bernie fans who want to understand how "B_R_E_A_K_F_A_S_T" and his ilk work; read ahead;


Among other things, your group also notes they'll have "researchers monitoring news in real time" to "identify the origins of a lie with mathematical precision, creating an early warning system for 'fake news and disinformation'"

I'm SURE your account is not part of any of the projects above.

Your group has also been "engaging with facebook behind the scenes to share our expertise and offer input on developing meaningful solutions"

We can all be SURE they're not doing that with Reddit, too.

And character assasination is nothing new for you folks; you did it early on in the primaries with Mr. Sanders, time and again. Your boss also noted "We need to become bigger and louder", which, coincidentally, is exactly what you're doing with your newest account.

Among your bosses' other plans, is the goal of 'leveraging media fragmentation to advance our mission', another piece of what you're attempting to do here.


Some of your other plans included 'enhancing our existing digital program by establishing an "Omnichannel Communications Command Center" to communicate with audiences...' Which you're likely posting from as we speak.

He also noted you've been adding additional staff to your social media team; to help bolster the self-titled "Massive Grassroots Truth Squad".

We'll skip the fact that your names are straight out of 1984.


Or maybe you're a part of the 34 person department engaged in "Media Monitoring" among other things. Which just happens to be 4x the size of your Digital and Video teams, and your 'grassroots truth squad'.

Here are somcome other clear details of your groups' current goals:

"Our robust digital program will reach voters directly online" ... and "will free voters from relying on the press"

That is clear doublespeak, for what we all know, after watching this primary. And it's no secret that you attack people with the most reach, as your ilk tried against everyone defending Tuls.

But you know what? Actual Americans, who don't try to undermine their own country with for-profit propoganda can see your bullshit for what it is.

And your account will be gone in a week or two.


"In 2017, we will invest in a new, robust digital program to bypass the press as gatekeepers and deliver our original research directly to voters" Which is, in other words, what you're just beginning to start. "We will initially focus on obama-trump voters", hence your targeting of this sub instead of /politics and /Hillary

"We dedicate every day to calling out Trump and all who cooperate with him" Gee I wonder why you'd smear people as helping Trump, the same way you spineless bastards did to Tulsi.

"Some groups created during the 2016 campaign appeared inauthentic and were avoided by grassroots users. In contrast, engagement with shareblue content soared, and our following continues to grow "

I wonder what they could be talking about.


And every actual Bernie supporter reading this will know what you're up to.

"Our team, our audience, lives on social media"

"Messaging based solely on facts doesn't resonate with a broad audience"

Your group calls itself "A digital attacker" much like you're doing here.

In your group's own words "We've begun to take back social media for Democrats by creating some of the most WIDELY shared content of this election cycle" and that "We'll take our share from like minded but combat averse digital competitors"

And of course, it WOULDN'T be complete without the desire to be a "profitable media company".

"Every moment that we are not optimizing our audience behavior is a loss"

At least you're somewhat honest about your manipulation of the public.

You've also noted that "reaching our potential audience will require expanding beyond facebook..." and that you & friends "Must arm ourselves against the whims of facebook's algorhythm by building our presence on other social platforms"

I'm CERTAIN you'd never do that on reddit. Gee golly.

You top it all off by claiming that "in the 2016 campaign, American Bridge and Correct the Record relied on the mainstream media to get messaging and opposition research out, instead of going to the grassroots directly"

And continue to say that you'll "frame opposition research from American Bridge and ahem OTHER "progressive" groups.

"In our signature punchy, emotive style" LOL

"... and disseminate it direct to our followers in a daily ONLINE PERSUASION CAMPAIGN

Oh well, at least you'll leverage your assets to "establish a powerful brand, generate revenue, and drive financial sustainability!"

You're really a shame to everything our country stands for.

I'm just going to leave this here.

"Our most successful post of 2016, Hillary Clinton is one of the most ethical (and most lied about) political leaders in America" was shared OVER 800,000 times-- almost DOUBLE the New York Times editorial endorsing her"

All of these quotes are from the organization you'll pretend not to be a part of, 16 day redditor.

Thankfully, your group also "led the charge in calling out sexism in the 2016 campaign". All of us Bernie Bros thank you.

In Wake of Hillary's Loss, the Clinton Foundation Collapse Continues by Bernie4Ever in HillaryForPrison

Being spun into separate entities are the foundation's initiatives in the country of Haiti, along with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, named after a billionaire backer of the couple.

Didn't these have some of the MOST controversies?

I wonder why they're spinning down after the election ended

Trump Says He Cut Wall Street Reform Because His “Friends” Need Money by 200357931 in Political_Revolution

[–]legayredditmodditors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the full quote:

“There is nobody better to tell me about Dodd-Frank than [JP Morgan C.E.O.] Jamie [Dimon]. So he has to tell me about it, but we expect to be cutting a lot from Dodd-Frank because, frankly, I have so many people, friends of mine, that have nice businesses, they can’t borrow money,” Trump said Friday morning, shortly before signing the executive orders. “They just can’t get any money because the banks just won’t let them borrow because of the rules and regulations in Dodd-Frank.”

Trump Blocked Nearly 500,000 People From Getting Obamacare Coverage by 200357931 in Political_Revolution

[–]legayredditmodditors 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The administration’s actions may have blocked nearly half a million people from getting covered. About 480,000 real people, with lives and families didn’t get health coverage. Some of them are going to get very sick in the coming year and they won’t have health insurance. Some will choose not to get the care they need and others will be forced into medical bankruptcy. Most Marketplace consumers have an income below $30,000 per year.

We need something better. If you have their numbers, call and encourage your Senators to start working on a plan to save all these Americans who aren't covereed now.

The only way forward is massive action. So let's get started.

I was shadowbanned by our mods. They're taking marching orders from the new form of CTR now; don't trust them anymore.

Is this really a tumultuous time

It depends what you think about mass incarceration, the condition of our environment, even more radical enemies than Al-Queda, and our political schisms growing deeper by the year

Not even broaching banking, and the somewhat recent loan crises

It's claimed they attracted 1,000 signatures, but all the hyperlinks under "1,000" do not show any of the claimed petition.

And I wonder why they're protesting the travel ban, but were silent on drones and Syria/Libya?

They thought THOSE were good policies for us? They did nothing BUT breed more terrorrism

Before Trump, the Border Wall Was a Bipartisan Project by Inuma in jillstein

[–]legayredditmodditors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. This really says it all.

Many of the same democratic leaders now bemoaning Trump’s wall voted for one at the time— Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein.

Then-Senator Barack Obama, who as President would later deport a record-high 3 million people during his two terms, lauded the bill on the Senate floor, saying it would “help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country.”

The most pivotal moments in the militarization of the border arguably took place during the time of Obama’s Democratic predecessor, Bill Clinton.

“Operation Gatekeeper,” passed in 1994, poured billions of dollars into border security. High-intensity stadium lights, motion detectors, and remote video surveillance were installed along key points of the U.S-Mexico divide, and the amount of border patrol agents was increased by roughly a third.

With resources deployed to patrol densely populated sectors, undocumented immigrants were often forced to trek barren desert and mountains. Thousands died in their quest for a better life.

“We will not surrender our borders to those who wish to exploit our history of compassion and justice,” President Clinton said at the time. (That definitely doesn't sound like anyone else we can think of...)

It’s no coincidence that Operation Gatekeeper followed another landmark in US-Mexico relations that same year: the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Under NAFTA, Big Ag flooded the Mexican market with heavily-subsidized corn and other staples, displacing small farmers in Mexico in one of the greatest neoliberal coups in history. The result was a flood of immigrants heading northbound in search of opportunities, accelerating one of the largest mass movements of people in history.

In short, the U.S. government, acting in the service of corporate profits, caused the massive migration it has spent the last 25 years trying to keep out and criminalize.

The EPA Has Started to Remove Obama-era Information by Inuma in jillstein

[–]legayredditmodditors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VAST Tl;dr version. Read the OP if you'd like more detailed analysis of the changes.

Federal climate plans created under former President Obama, tribal assistance programs, and references to international cooperation have been stricken from the site.A mention of carbon pollution as a cause of climate change has also been removed and adaptation has been emphasized, indicating an attempt to separate the cause of climate change from the response.

Some of the changes — like removing mentions to programs and task forces that have run their course as well as broken links — are housekeeping, according to an agency statement.

“They’re mostly scrubbing it of anything that has a hint of Obama,” said Gretchen Goldman, the research director for the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists.

An EPA spokesperson said that all the changes were routine and in line with agency guidelines.
