We do it for free all the time on GAF. I'd be down for getting paid.
To all the Hillary gloaters, I'll tell you one thing: r/politics is, and always will be, Bernie territory. OUR territory. The mods of r/politics have formally endorsed Senator Sanders for president. We will continue to control the front page with positive Bernie news. So before you start talking sh**t and bragging about your bitch's win, I'll have you know that we're well versed in downvote brigades. Say RIP to your karma.
Surely you've all seen this, right?
Yeah, but that's for stuff we like. This is like being payed to masterbate to vore, Ted Cruz, etc

Please tell me you are repeating something said on reddit as a joke and aren't actually saying this.
Edit: Wait was the spoiler ninja-edited?

Clinton lying about sniper fire and praising a monster like Reagan for AIDS work aren't facts that can just be "corrected", so I don't see how this is really effective.
I added the spoiler out of fear someone thought I meant it.
And it's real and currently a wonderful circlejerk copypasta.

This is one of those things that I assume eveyone is doing, but you look so fucking stupid admitting you do it. It's like picking your nose.
A lot of people do get there news from social media, and I imagine that will continue to increase as time goes on. Those are the people who could be hurt by this.

It's hilarious how Hillary supporters try to defend her on this.

I may or may not have masturbated to one of these things before.
I try not to and just walk...or click away, it just drains me haha.
There's a shitload of misinformation disseminated online from all sides. I'm not surprised. Personally I don't see this much different than Bernie's massive brigade of online fans doing everything they can to set the 'record straight' for Bernie. At the same time it feels like it just feeds into a narrative for some people explaining why their candidate lost when the finer details are much more complex.
At the end of the day it's all politics anyway, ads hit the radio waves, television, etc. It was inevitable they'd hit online this way too.

Bernie has already developed a cult following.
Bernie fans will willingly go into a "Top Dinners under 600 calories" article and post in the comment sections about Bernie Sanders' civil rights records. Bernie doesn't need a PAC to do that.

This is a fucking edit great idea! edit
Politics is a complete cess-edit-pool of fun and classy people-edit

The loophole is that it's free to post on reddit/twitter therefore it's not considered an indipendent expenditure? So now they're allowed to coordinate with the Clinton campaign? But don't they still have to pay these people making the corrections?
Also, can't they illegally coordinate because it's not difficult to do/hard to prove that they have coordinated?

I' heard the next Call of Duty is going to be set in the Korean War.

There needs to be a new version of this song for Hillary.

you can't put a price on sparks
they dont need to pay, people volunteer
You can wear people down. It becomes much easier when you're paid to do it.
Being paid is why this whole insinuation this can't count as independent expenditure is an extreme case of self denial.
Whataboutism
Why is this bad exactly? They could use the money to set up a website or something but those who hate Hilary aren't going to go look at it. There is a plethora of correct information online about Hilary already and these people obviously aren't viewing it if they are spreading misinformation and hate. So why not hire people to directly talk to these Hilary haters and the people who are reading their misinformation?
Seems more effective to me to be honest. If you don't want one of these people correcting your misinformation then maybe research what you're posting first.
