How insulting is this?
(parphrase)
College grads, tell us how you feel
about getting financially screwed in
your attempt to improve you life
with childish symbols?
How does your student loan debt make you feel?
Tell us in 3 emojis or less.

Are there emojis for efffuuu?
Some responses:
@HillaryClinton It feels like you should fire your "social media consultant" as hard as you possibly can. This makes you look stupid.
@Skullcat Thanks. It really was a stupid post. Emojis? You're a fucking politician and student loans are making a generation of slaves.
@HillaryClinton Your campaign is a joke. You'll never draw 20,000+ people to your rallies because you have nothing real to say.
@joemccann @mattg @HillaryClinton Hillary is a joke to anyone who pays attention to anything she says's! http://ThingsITrustMoreThanHillary.com
@Bro_Pair @HillaryClinton Like she's the quintessential Buzzfeed candidate lol.
@trill_pikachu @Bro_Pair @HillaryClinton she was insufferable before social media and it just keeps getting worse

(5,208 posts)College kids are really suffering, and you ask them to tell you how they feel about their debt?
How would you feel if you were 25 and over $100,000 in debt with no job prospects?

(9,527 posts)you should refer to the social media site by the correct name. It's Twitter not Tweeter.
And yes, people can act like idiots on social media. For example it took 10 minutes after Obama launched his Twitter account before people where using racial slurs on it.
But before you get so hung up on emoji being "childish" you might consider actually reading up on them as they are becoming more and more common and important in social media.
