Debunking the Buttigieg/Zuckerberg tosh. The FB employees went to them and ASKED Zuck and his wife [View all]

to forward their names and CV's to the Buttigieg campaign. It is right in the article that kicked all this spun up smear attempt off.

It was NOT some Machiavellian plan by Zuckerberg, and he is NOT working closely with Pete's campaign.

Bernie surrogates (including Zephyr Teachout (failed NY Attorney general candidate (vs Letitia James, who won) and treasurer to Cynthia Nixon's failed NY Governor campaign against Cuomo), who had to retract her smear attempt) are pushing that bullshit angle all over the cesspool that is Twitter.

Thanks for posting this. cwydro Oct 2019 #6

I seems to mostly be the same NON DU, social media crew that started the whole bullshit smear Celerity Oct 2019 #7

I agree with you for the most part. cwydro Oct 2019 #8

those were the reason for this OP I did, and I also get pretty argy bargy when there are hit piece Celerity Oct 2019 #9

Yep. cwydro Oct 2019 #14

I applaud the mad scramble in Pete World to distance themselves from Zuckerberg BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #10

lol @ mad scramble, it is called actually reading the goddamn article, and then seeing who is Celerity Oct 2019 #11

Their stances on breaking up Big Tech speak for themselves BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #12

Zuckerberg and his wife only forwarded a few FB employees' CV's over at THE EMPLOYEES' own request Celerity Oct 2019 #13

Lol...if you don't think Zuck AND his wife eagerly forwarding job refs to Pete's campaign manager BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #15

I guess not, I am on planet reality and fairplay, you seem to prefer planet selective shady spin Celerity Oct 2019 #16

Just lending some needed balance to this insistent nothing-to-see-here thread BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #17

No, you are trying to continue to push the same tosh that the very article itself debunks, tosh that Celerity Oct 2019 #21

Celerity, for the record, you have utterly destroyed your opponent in this argument ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #26

Any perception of coziness with Zuckerberg is a turd for Democrats BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #35

No. It's shady spin to pretend that Zuckerberg only forwarded resumes kcr Oct 2019 #18

your attempt at satire, snark and shade (Triple S, just like Balenciaga!! LOLOL) is weak, dont quit Celerity Oct 2019 #22

So, somehow the fact they knew each other in college debunks it? kcr Oct 2019 #28

Debunks your theory that's made up with no actual evidence from the start? mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #32

While not everyone is a fan of my attempt at satire. kcr Oct 2019 #34

It's equally ludicrous to suggest it's as physically difficult for Zuck to forward a resume mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #38

Really? That's what you think I was trying to suggest? kcr Oct 2019 #40

Perhaps you should see Post #23 from Celerity ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #42

They aren't? kcr Oct 2019 #45

Very Weak Sauce ... (nt) mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #30

Well, we can't all be Balenciaga experts kcr Oct 2019 #31

You really have nothing other than 'we don't like the looks of it' ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #33

Wow. There's a hell of a lot more to it than that. kcr Oct 2019 #37

Yep. And me getting a reference from my former employer doesn't mean the billionaire CEO and his .. Hassin Bin Sober Oct 2019 #36

The bullshit here is not in questioning Zuck's motives ... which is always fair ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #39

More background on the TWO ex employees who asked Zuckerberg and his wife for references Celerity Oct 2019 #23

THANK YOU!!!!!! LAS14 Oct 2019 #24

I've done about as much as I can, including some horrid battles with NON DU Bernie people on Twitter Celerity Oct 2019 #25

Keep up the good fight! I think I've noticed your good work before. Check... LAS14 Oct 2019 #27

+2 Thanks Cel for all you do ... (nt) mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #43

I think it's foolish that it needs to be debunked in the first place. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #41

It's funny how clear it is to our side the silliness of the RW's Clinton/Soros bullshit ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #44

Thank you for stating that so well. NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #46
