Lib Candidate for TN Gov Hiring People to Infiltrate Social Media, Pose as Average User, Push Agenda

Isa Infante, the liberal Green Party candidate running for governor in Tennessee, is hiring people to create profiles on social media, such as Reddit, pretend to be an average user, then push for her "progressive" agenda.

Ms. Infante is a self-labelled "progressive" candidate for Tennessee. Part of her platform is "ecological wisdom, social justice, feminism, and nonviolence." But, of course, as a Green Party candidate, she has had trouble gaining traction in the race. Her campaign, therefore, is now posting ads looking for people to pose as average social media users to pretend to have "found" this wonderful, liberal candidate.

The ads for these positions were posted publicly on VolunteerMatch, a website devoted to matching volunteers with causes they support. Under the ad for "Reddit Expert Redditor," the campaign says they are looking for "someone to start, manage and post on a campaign Reddit to promote our progressive candidate."

Infante is also looking for someone who can create a blog to push things like "feminism, environment, raise the wage, lgbt, politics, law, and/or legalizing marijuana." With these posts, a support of Infante is also expected, and all articles will be "proofed" by the campaign before they are published.

Less covert is their ad looking for someone to post pictures on Instagram. As the ad explains, "We need an active instagram account to daily promote a progressive campaign. Topics will include feminism, environment, lgbt and raise the wage."

And just to add background information about Ms. Infante, here is a campaign YouTube video of here, though apparently she couldn't afford a video camera:
