Democratic Primary Push for White House

[SunnySide]

So you dont think 4chan didnt repeatedly post the DNC number and encourage members to call in?

You dont think people called in to clog the lines?

Are you saying the above 2 things didnt happen? We could argue that DNC should have been prepared, tactics like that are par for the course nowadays etc ... but are you saying these 2 things above did not happen and is being completely made up?

Its not a big deal to me, we could argue about the scale or effectiveness .. but are you saying this is all completely made up? That 4cahn didnt post the number repeatedly, didnt encourage people to call in and that no one called in to clog the lines?

Just trying to see where the line is at. I personally dont think it is a big deal and should be expected nowadays. But im sure 4chan did do it and im sure its members did call in.

First and foremost from an operations perspective you better expect high volume if there is a major issue like a tech...and they ran into it. So you didn't inspect therefore you failed. So you weren't prepared "in case of an emergency"...contingency plan? business continuity? Laughable and 1000% unacceptable from the DNC.

Second, this conspiracy theory of clogged lines was reported with no facts. No evidence of outside interference. Per the Bloomberg fake news "It is unclear how many prank calls the hotline received or how much they contributed to the delays". In others word, zero facts or evidence to base a report on.

3rd, the phone number could be found on google. So its public knowledge and there wasn't a nefarious act which sought to uncover the number for the purpose of sabotage.

4th, From people investigate what amounts to a thread on a message board, people looking stated out of the 2000 post thread, there were ONLY 3 post which made reference to prank this number.


To put this all on trump and trump supporters...its laughable, conspiracy theory bullshit. DNC fuck this up from day 1

I agree, the number was easily found on google, I agree that there should be back up plans to the back up plans.

Sounds like we also agree - 4chan did post the number and urge people to clog the lines, people did call with the intent of clogging the lines.

Up for debate is how many people actually called and what, if any, effect it had on the lines. So its not a "conspiracy theory" as we agree it happened but the debate is how much of an impact, if any, it had.

Bridging the divide .. cheers.
