Instead of seeing the #WalkAway hashtag for the serious red flag that it is, many on the Left are ignoring it altogether or accusing the people posting on the tag of being … wait for it … keep waiting … wait just a little more … BOTS.
Yup.
Because surely the Democratic platform filled with taking away rights, raising taxes, and prioritizing illegal immigrants over Americans (even minorities) is such a WINNER.
Don’t take our word for it:
The #walkaway hashtag – short for “walk away from the Democratic Party” – is like a playground for bots. I clicked three of the accounts at random, and checked their first tweets. Two clearly originated as bots, once was created today to feed the hashtag. pic.twitter.com/44kBxyJVM9

A playground for bots. And three random accounts proves it’s nothing to actually worry about.
K.
The bonus from a bot-driven hashtag campaign is that you can also complain when it doesn’t trend. Why is the media covering Soros-funded liberal protests instead of Deplorable472920’s completely real story about “leaving the Democrat plantation”?

What’s hilarious here is Dave doesn’t seem to get that this very attitude is what is driving people away from the party. We suppose if believing the tag is filled with bots (RUSSIANS!) helps him sleep better at night that’s on him.
By all means, Liberals, treat people like they’re stupid or fake for disagreeing with you. It’s such a winning talking point.
You can keep denying this is happening or you and your party can address the fact that the rage, hysteria, and intolerance of diversity is deeply disturbing to a growing number of people. #walkaway

They would much rather stick their heads in the sand and pretend it’s just a bunch of bots.

I don't think anyone is claiming that they are all bots, more that it's being augmented by bots

Full transparency, this editor also posted on the tag and is not a bot.
Or Russian.
As far as she can tell.
???????? Bless your heart. If the propaganda works, use it, right? #NotABot #WalkAway

They’ll never learn, which is great news for the GOP.
Of course, Dave. Everything is fine.
