There are some trolls still here.

Trying to divide our party. I do not think Bernie Sanders is a democrat, but using him to divide us goes right to their playbook. It will get worse before 2018.

1. That's not the only thing they are using. Be careful.

[redstatebluegirl]

2. I totally get that, but that is the issue they know can do it.

[elleng]

3. Yes.

[trueblue2007]

4. I agree with you.

5. I am relatively new to DU (joined in Feb/March)

and quickly learned that you NEVER mention Bernie here. I asked a Bernie question once and was accused of being a troll (I didn't even know what a troll was). So now I never even reply to a Bernie OP for fear of being accused of trying to start something.

6. You startin' something here?

(just kidding)

12. I Don't Reply to Them Because They Have Nothing But Divisive Bickering

Therefore, I get called for jury duty on them a lot.

We're better than this. I don't care how made a Democratic ally made you (the general "you," not BigmanPigman) and how long you carry a grudge. Get over it!

13. If you ever want to hone your debating skills to a razor sharpness

Engage a few DUers on politics. And hold your ground no matter how bloody you get. You'll learn to draw blood too!

It's amazing how much your debating skills will improve!

[BigmanPigman]

14. I would never be able to do that since I am one of those

people who thinks of a good reply to an arguement about 1 1/2 hours later.

Besides, when someone on DU finally answered my "What is a troll?" question I found out it was an insult and my feelings were hurt. I guess I am a snowflake. I have always been overly sensitive and emotional (my astrological sign is Cancer and that is one of our traits).

15. Just hang in there

Some people on DU are hard nosed and unfair in their attacks. Just because one DUer said you were a troll doesn't mean all DUers think that.

And there ARE nasty people here. You'll learn to avoid them.

It's a good idea to look at the person's post count next to their name. It'll tell you how long they've been here. And once your post count goes to a high amount people will stop calling you a troll because most trolls get kicked off pretty early on.

16. I joined in Apr. and this is only my 142nd post because I mostly read, but I don't Bernie either. :)

... and I'll always add that though I voted for him in the primary, I gladly voted for Hillary in the general and wish like hell that we were currently saying "Madame President."

But I understand that if we all agreed on everything, that it would be incredibly boring around here.

So I read, and I learn (a LOT) and once in a while I say something.

And I've read a number of your posts and I'm glad you're here.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Thanks. I read mostly for the most current and widely sourced

news stories and to hear the opinions of people who are much better informed than I could ever hope to be. I didn't post anything for a few months since I was intimidated by everyone's vast knowledge and experience.

7. I think there are still some legitimate true believers around

However, there also those who post about nothing but. They are not our friends.

[MFM008]

8. to much maggot support

or maggot EXPALINING for me.
fuck you republican trolls.
drop dead.

[davsand]

9. I trash any thread with Sanders in the OP title. Problem solved.

Don't even bother to read it. It keeps the blood pressure down.

YMMV.

10. That'll take care of Bernie Sanders and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. A twofer. nt

11. Bernie Sanders is a valuable ally to the Democratic Party.

I welcome his participation in our Big Tent Party.
