Dear David Brock, you know who you should really be angry at? Yourself.

So, David Brock, founder of CTR, recently went on a rant blaming everyone from James Comey, to Jill Stein, to millennials, to "fake news" for the loss of Hillary Clinton, and doubled down on the idea that the democrats did no wrong this election and that it's everyone else's fault. What Mr. Brock doesn't realize is that I believe his actions played a huge part in alienating people, including the Millennials and Jill Stein voters that he so blames.

For those of you who don't know, David Brock is the mastermind behind "Correct the Record", a super pac that basically flooded social media with TONS of Hillary propaganda. I discussed this a few months ago, in noticing how Reddit had changed in the aftermath of the democratic national convention. Brock's superpac spent MILLIONS of dollars astroturfing sites like Reddit and Facebook and flooding it with pro Clinton propaganda. They also spent a significant chunk of time trying to suppress the voices of those who did not like Clinton. He would swarm these people with downvotes, flood their inboxes with tons of pro Hillary crap. In some cases, they even took over entire subreddits and infiltrated the mod teams, pushing people who didn't fit into their little culture off the mainstream left wing subs. r/politics and r/progressive are the two biggest examples that come to mind, although there certainly are others. Before these guys showed up, Reddit was overwhelmingly pro Bernie. After that, we were suppressed. We were forced to retreat to specifically pro Bernie or anti Clinton subs to get a good idea of what was going on, because Brock spent his resources controlling the narrative and gaslighting people on the most dominant political subs of reddit. He really did have enough power to change the culture of the site seemingly overnight. This is no exaggeration. This is scary crap.

For all the talk this guy has about Bannon and "fake news", and all of the talk about Trump threatening freedom of speech, this guy is completely hypocritical and sleezy to start pointing the fingers at others compared to what he's done. I mean, this guy has been regularly compared to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. That's how freaking messed up this guy and his movement is. They literally tried taking over a whole site and displacing the locals who disagreed with him. Total scumbag, and in my case, he made me double down on my vote for Stein. Because, as a millennial who "sat on my hands" and voted third party, I have no respect for a party that resorts to such underhanded tactics to control the narrative to win. Screw David Brock. Screw Correct the Record. This guy is everything wrong with the democratic party. He helped cost Clinton the election, because he didn't bring people to Clinton by appealing to their ideals. He tried to bring them over by controlling the narrative on social media and shutting down everyone who didn't agree with him. And those people were pissed, and those people doubled down by saying "I'll NEVER support Hillary Clinton as long as she keeps pulling this crap."
