The trolls are everpresent here still....
I see repeated attempts to continue to divide us, whether it be to bitch about Bernie, complain about Hillary, or question the ability and desirability of our party leaders.
When someone sends out articles/opinions with those memes it is a troll red flag to me. I am immediately on alert .
Do not fall for it!
The trolls were quite successfull on here during the fall election season and did enough damage in dividing us to cost us the election.
Be aware that they are still here , subltly influencing the discussion, pretending to be questioning loyalists. Also be aware that those who
wholeheartedly agree with their posts may also be trolls.
Unity wins. Attempts to divide us must be seen as such. Ignore them.
This post may even be 'alerted'. It's what they do.

You do not think divisive trolls are here?

(36,116 posts)If you want to make your case, which is valid, take it to the MSM, twitter, facebook etc
Lecturing a few people here because they're frustrated with the party is pointless
apcalc
(4,465 posts)You have a point about taking it to a larger venue.
Oh yes, not pointless. Look what happened....just enough voters siphoned off from voting for our party.
People who were on here everyday posting as DU members....were not under any circumstances going to vote for our candidate because of x, y, z.
I am not criticizing true DU members . Do you deny the existence of imposters?
Some honest in their feelings for sure, but some I think nefarious...
Be discerning. All I'm asking.
It makes a difference.
