Or maybe, now hear me out, there wasn't a reason or motive to have bots propagate pro-Hillary hashtags. Almost seems too simple to be true.

- mnglkhn2 9y agoAnd the polls bear your assertion out: everyone was pro-Hillary and she was winning by a landslide. No need for bots on Twitter or other shenanigans.
- patrickg_zill 9y agoMore like "too simple to be believed"... and easily seen on Twitter, by examining tweeters of Hillary's tweets and noticing that for instance, 10 or more accounts that simultaneously retweeted all had precisely the same number of tweets, in the thousands, and less than 10 followers apiece. More accessible, however, is simply to notice that the testimony was being given to a government where the House, Senate, and Presidency are all Republican. If Twitter could have shown their even headedness, they would have done so.
- kadenshep 9y agoYou're just making stuff up, which is far worse than anecdotal data by itself.
- patrickg_zill 9y agoWilful blindness doesn't suit you. You can very easily find plenty of mainstream media news articles about Hillary's million plus fake followers, and you can look at election era tweets and retweets yourself.
- kadenshep 9y agoReports and stories are not the same as evidence. Go ahead and start providing credible sources and you might actually have a point.

- kadenshep 9y agoYeah, I'm sorry, you must have been confused when I said reports and stories are not the same as evidence. And then you linked to the daily mail of all things. And the most credible report you linked to was just completely unhelpful to the point you're trying to make. Don't bother me with your unmitigated stupidity again.
- patrickg_zill 9y agoYou want to be a sheep, it's your choice.
- kadenshep 9y agoYou are literally saying nothing of substance.
