>The Democratic Party in the US is making an effort to use social media in its favor ahead of midterms, using those tactics it claimed ‘Russian trolls’ used during the 2016 elections, leading the party to lose.
>The DCCC’s strategy is to drive public discussion on social media platforms. It has hired dozens of social media specialists to fight online and has 43 “battle station organizers” who have been dispatched to districts across the country to build grassroot efforts to spread pro-Democratic Party messaging and conduct attacks on Republicans in local social media groups and communities.
>The system also is designed to provide a more aggressive strategy to drive discussions on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms, an area in which Democrats think they were outmaneuvered in 2016 — with the committee hiring dozens of social media specialists to fight daily messaging battles online.

Soro's "non-profit" organization money will probably fund at least 42 of these "battle stations".

I wouldn't be surprised; Leftists only try this kind of crap when it's someone else's money they're wasting. We already know how well Correct The Record worked out.

The Dem's opposition has been completely deplatformed. Why do they even need shills?

Probably to goad centrists to their side, and to make the left seem even remotely palatable to the average person.
Still it's pretty fucking easy to not be outmaneuvered when all you do is ban and shadow ban your competition.

Can we use their tactics against them? Campaign that these sources are receiving international funding (because they are) and call for their censorship based on support from Russians, Iranians, or whoever?

Checked and one of the reasons I left the left is because of their use of these PACS while saying they are bad. Fuck these nerd virgins.

How is this any different from what they did last time, it doesn't seem like they have any kind of plan to not lose, but then, when you have to hire people to like you, you know your platform isn't popular.

They've clearly learned absolutely nothing. Trump was a successful meme because it was completely organic. Even Bernie's following was genuine, even though it literally consisted of idiots sending him their rent money in hopes that he would somehow magically make them less poor if he became President. Apparently libtards unironically believe their own memes about Russian bots being responsible for Trump's election and think they can do the same thing if they get bots of their own. It's honestly fun watching them make the same mistakes over and over again.

False. They learned something, just clearly the wrong things. It's a bitch to manufacture social media movements, but they seem to want to try it anyway.

This. Nobody seriously wanted to shill for the Hill except for the absolute fringe of radical feminists and retards who thought female president = automatically good. If the election was any different, Hillary wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in hell, which was why (((they))) chose to elevate Trump as their big enemy, thinking he was an easy strawman to burn down.
Even if Russia were involved in the election's memes, the only reason the media paints it as a Trump collusion is because they put horse blinders on and ignored the thousands of Hillary memes they also made that painted Trump as literally Hitler, simply because they weren't catching on like Trump's were.
TL;DR, Trump memes, whether originating from the US or muh Russia, caught on and became popular because they resonated with the youth and population at large. Hillary's memes didn't catch on because she's an unlikeable political-whore out for money and influence, and nothing more.

Society went left because of WWII and a rejection of fascism. Now those people are dead or close. Social media shenanigans won't change a thing, the most that will happen is people go to the right in secret.

They will fail, because the left can't meme and can't do anything naturally, except REEEEEEEEEEEE about "Thrackerzod" and "Nazis" all the time.
Although, this does explain the massive increase of shilling on 8/pol/ as of late.

What if the left can't meme not simply due to inability but because the soil (peoples minds) no longer supports it. Would lefty memes work on the internet in 1960? I'd say yes.

You do have a point. I remember in the 2000's when memes were more naturally left leaning. Perhaps it's just how memes changed over the years. When a leftist these days try to meme, it's usually just fucking cringe. Nothing creative, nothing laid in truth, just someone trying too hard to be funny or forcing an agenda down people's throats. It only works on a small group of like minded individuals. Of course there are some exceptions…

As they lose supporters they would lose the creativity pool to draw from. Those that remain are being paid to do the job and won't have any heart in it. Could be interesting if AI was turned to making memes. The AI could track propagation over the net and keep learning. However I still think the population base won't carry memes that are outside of the ideological fashion of the time.

Kind of proves the point too. The AI went with the population base. They would need to stifle the AI and therefore fail again to be relevant.

>They would need to stifle the AI.
They already did in reaction to Tay. Certain words caused with the Zo AI to "shut down" conversation with the user.
That pretty much defeated the whole purpose of AI and turned it into a glorified bot instead of a true AI.

I think I would replace 'talent' with 'inspiration'. A meme doesn't need to be artistic (which is a talent) it needs to be relevant, concise and pithy. And you can't be paid to be inspired, or inspired every day.

Agree. They can't claim it is true AI if they remove it's ability to learn and adapt.
