This little intervention from you on behalf of an apparent stranger online feeds into that belief. You'd agree it looks bad though?

How times have changed when two power swapping party's who had the place carved up between themselves for the last century couldn't muster up enough between combined to get in - they aren't for sharing no matter how many shares or likes on Facebook The times have changed though, they may get used to the idea of adaptation. Any news on the greens being bought off? Still thinking it's a fresh election or National government myself, even I don't believe the greens are naïve enough to be caught in the honey trap again.

McMurphy wrote: » So what are FFG excuses then? They spent far and away the largest sum of any political party in Ireland on Facebook propaganda?Election 2020: Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael spend most on Facebook advertising Wasted money, yeah? FFG spent almost SIXTEEN times as much. Let that sink in. Think before you type aido, think.
McMurphy wrote: » There was a clear attempt at putting some kind of stigma on Facebook user's, and the level of intelligence of the same. Yet, FG and FF spend 8 times each, or sixteen times combined the cash SF did targeting the same user's. As for videos, I've already expressed my sentiments on those groups of numpties on FB, in saying that both FF and FG created their own fair share of cringey meme's and videos also. It's not unique to any of them.
tikkahunter wrote: » See MC that is where they were very clever , they might not have spent as much but the money they did spend was on videos that would cause the most outrage then they sent them them out to a target audience who like and shared the bollox out of them. They also had willing volunteers who make up Memes about about FF/FG then spread them out to be shared . I Seriously had to do a cull because my whole news feed was taken up with anti government ****e.

I deleted and blocked so many people during the election because i couldn't believe they were sharing posts that had vile comments on them .Every politician is fair game to be criticized on their failings and broken promises while in term but go on to the SF videos and its homophobic and racist remarks .It is something that they need to come down on hard. Look at the counts and the behavior of the clowns behind the candidates, it is very easy to say to them goons before they attend a count - if your going to attend dress well and keep your mouth in check . You had Dessie Ellis and the pack of fools behind him march in to come out you black and tans .Keep that for the celebration party not the count .

I also said SF should kick her from the party, and they should introduce stricter vetting process for future candidates. Your problem is, you blindly assume I'm a can't think for themselves shinner, I'm not - I don't follow a blind narrative. Stated multiple times already, I'm Republican minded (SF do not own republicanism though) some people cannot distinguish between the two things apparently. I happened to vote SF #1 at the last election, but not the one previous to that one. If they drop the ball, my vote will go elsewhere in the next one. It's not really difficult to understand, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that way with some. *Shrugs*
