Russian bot impersonation thread

OK, a lot of talk about Russian bots. No doubt they exist. But I am apparently not as adept at recognizing them as some others might be. So, here's your chance. Do an impersonation of a Russian bot post, and let's see if there is some amount of agreement of what they look like!

I marched on the Edmond Petty’s Bridge and held Martin Luther King’s hand as he lay dying. If King could see the way that corporatist like Clinton have taken over the Democratic Party he would be ashamed.

Until we purge the party of all the Third Way hypocrites we will never achieve the dream.

Over $2500 per individual and no corporate money at all. The voters will see the difference in 2018 and they will vote for the party that stands true to its principles. And even if we lose in the short term in the long run we will win an important moral victory!

It is easy to win a single election, but the party can never compete with the GOP on the national level. The election will be hacked as it was in 2016 and the Republicans will then declare that they have a mandate to do even worse things. Since we can not win a rigged electoral system I call for a Democratic boycott of all federal level elections. When you go to the polls vote for dog catcher and mayor but leave all the spaces at the top of the ballot blank. You will send a powerful message!

Baby Boomers with their sense of entitlement. Until we jettison the baggage of the past we will never attract the young people who are the heart and soul of any revolution!

As long as we elect Israel’s syncophants, we will never put the needs of Americans first. Anyone who takes bank money has Palestinian blood on his...or her hands!

Is the Americans who make up much of it. Lazy, selfish, spoiled. We need to look beyond our own narrow world view and create a world party.

Can anyone tell me who are #BladderLeaks? Some kind of Wikileaks? You should visit their website, it contains very confidential information about our corrupt leaders such as Hillary Clinton, and other America haters who undermine America like billionaire Nazi sympathizer and Clinton supporter George Soros.

Does anyone realize how energized and angry the Deplorables will become if we attribute the recent victory in Alabama to African-American Democrats? Obviously, recent prominently placed threads thanking this demographic were planted by Russian hacker-bots. By reminding Trump voters that the Democratic Party is the party of Obama, we risk alienating other voters—-or worse mobilizing them to vote for the Republican candidates in next fall’s election.
