(144,919 posts)70. LOL-the russian trolling was not sophisticated
The Russian trolling operations were not sophisticated and only idiots fell for it. The JRP idiots were influenced because they were all all idiots. The posters who left DU for JPR were mainly the less intelligent DU posters which explains why these posters were easily fooled.
Only an idiot would buy the pizzagate story which is why after a while the admis at JPR were so embarassed that they eventually ban that particular Russian fake story
There is a ton of hatred and stupidity still evidenced on the JPR site. Hate and stupidity are evidently requirements to post on that site. There is a disgusting picture on the greatest page of that site that I will not post because it is too stupid.

No. The Bernie supporters felt run off the DU ranch, so most went to the new digs at JPR.

"the atmosphere was made so toxic for Bernie supporters" -- the word "for" is wrong.

It didn't start out that way. As I said, it became a breeding ground for Trump/Russia trolls

As many Sanders supporters as possible had to be pushed to reject Hillary. It wasn't automatic.

They'd have to take responsibility first and so far none I've seen have done that.

I think any such request must be accompanied by significant ads-kissing to be considered...
