But wouldn't it be easier to just type the words into the text box on this site and click post? Because that part is not particularly meme-worthy. IMO.
Just trying to help you up your game with a bit of constructive criticism

(9,067 posts)Why not pictures of Bernie in Russia on his honeymoon? Or wandering around a kibbutz in Israel? Or speaking about SA dictators?
Is this OP the charge of the Bern brigade into the breech of the final battle?
Is there pay per word or picture and the spigot is about to turn off?
Who knows?
I personally hope the Blemmings keep it up. It's entertaining sometimes and annoying sometimes. It doesn't take rocket science to see that it changes no one's mind. In fact, Bernie's strategy has been a big fail if the idea was for Bernie to win. There are a bunch of CTs out there and here are a few of my favorites:
1.) DWS planned a Bernie campaign as a sparing partner - someone who would keep in the news but had not chance of winning. If so, it was a brilliant way to elect the first woman President.
2.) The RW has been propping up a Bernie campaign with $s and operatives as an attempt to defeat the clear Democratic winner. Chances are this is happening, but how much is a mystery.
3.) There's a club of college journalists or campaign consultant wannabes getting credit and experience as interns by jumping into the fray. Might be possible and explains all the programmed links and stylistic OPs. Maybe they are doing research on what seems to be effective messaging?
4.) The GOP fears a Democratic social media revolution, so they planned a counter that takes advantage of the young and naive to undermine DU and similar sites.
At any rate, some people are WASTING a lot of time and energy in GDP. I'm truly glad they are not ringing doorbells or registering voters with all that effort (at least if they really favor Bernie).
Most of us who are serious don't tune into GDP much since it's not real or relevant. There are a handful of connections from more of a decade that I appreciate, but many have moved on now to other places where rational dialog can exist without personal attacks and real discussion can occur.
You are dead on Nance. Some people must be running shifts or sitting in a room full of researchers waiting until 3 AM to post today's list of "bash and trash" all over progressive sites. There's no way regular working stiffs are sitting up after midnight hunting for 3 hours every night planning a dozen OPs week after week. I'm a night owl and I certainly couldn't do it.
It will all be over soon - and we will look forward to another great Democrat in the White House. She will be an historic President!

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger. . . .

Astonishingly prolific poster and offender, you are, heh?
You talk about cognitive dissonance?
You're winning the battle of the hides, but losing the war of ideas. Now, that's dissonance.

Where's the beef? You got nothin'. Not a viable idea, argument or concept in your thousands of repetitive and redundant posts.
Ergo, ad hominem strike there cannot be. There's no there there.

As a vet I despise neoconservatism even more. With Clinton the neocon virus will now infect the left, thereby okaying it as the foreign policy of this nation for decades to come.
For this alone, I stand in opposition to her and her supporters and will fight them until the bitter fucking end. And I won't' stop then either.

(11,076 posts)And these photos could look like guilt by association. Her own thoughts and actions regarding war and the disposable nature of the lives of soldiers and the innocents has been clearly defined by her actions and dealings with war and war materials. It is time for Americans to take responsibility for our wars and destruction. No money for school or health care and food for children is a luxury. Look what we gave done to ourselves!

(11,076 posts)The argument would be that it is just a picture. I do agree that her look indicates an attraction. But this is not guilt by association. Her words and actions prove that on her own,she is everything he is.

(34,105 posts)trying to force my hand to color the dot for Hillary this will be what I see. I have actually seen this from way back, she has always been pals with him. It takes a lot of separation of what is right and what is criminal for someone who wants you to believe she is right when she still associates with another criminal who is responsible for countless tortures and deaths. I don't see the separation there, it seems no good person could ever cozy up to that monster. And then there are the Bushes.
I can't compartmentalize like that because I would have no respect for myself if I could.
