JACK PINE RADICALS in a nutshell... [View all] brooklynite Apr 2019 OP

I wasn't around here in the 2016 primaries, but I've heard it was a bit of a clusterf*ck at times... bearsfootball516 Apr 2019 #1

At times? Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Apr 2019 #5

The PUMAs were just as bad. Drahthaardogs Apr 2019 #15

For those that are new, PUMA means "Party Unity My Ass". Blue_true Apr 2019 #29

Difference is that Hillary did not encourage PUMAs at all, and spoke out against them. NYC Liberal Apr 2019 #35

Yep. One only has to look at what happened at our convention as a starter. Blue_true Apr 2019 #38

I agree, we cannot afford to have that happen again. Blue_true Apr 2019 #57

As said. JPR is a little satellite forum that orbits DU, Hortensis Apr 2019 #61

I use the block feature a lot where Bernie folks are concerned. redstatebluegirl Apr 2019 #27

JPR aside, there are thousands of kgb agents and bots and gop working all over Eliot Rosewater Apr 2019 #53

No doubt. I know of no way to identify them, though. MineralMan Apr 2019 #54

Oh I do. Concern trolls are very obvious. People who speak out when a dem does Eliot Rosewater Apr 2019 #55

Those who let an OP drop like a rock and move on to Hortensis Apr 2019 #69

Russians are sometimes easy to spot DFW Apr 2019 #75
