So much "concern" and so soon, weird that. Eliot Rosewater Aug 2017 #1

Yeah the 'legit concern' trolls are so obvious apcalc Aug 2017 #81

Who are the people behind this Group? Wellstone ruled Aug 2017 #2

Link to twitter showing lots of "#NeverKamala mentions both for and against. Fla Dem Aug 2017 #6

And the idiots who post on JPR Gothmog Aug 2017 #12

Oh boy did you name one of the Wellstone ruled Aug 2017 #16

Why do you never mention Bill's Playground? Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #235

Because the posters on that site were sane and that site is closed down Gothmog Aug 2017 #236

So it was ok for certain DUers to openly ridicule other DUers, candidates, etc Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #237

Most of the JPR posters are people who were banned on this site Gothmog Aug 2017 #238

So it was ok for certain DUers to openly ridicule other DUers, candidates, etc? Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #239

I think you are confusing JustAnotherGen Aug 2017 #241

So you don't deny that JPR proliferated Russian fake news? Cary Aug 2017 #255

Nice deflection Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #260

Still no denial Cary Aug 2017 #261

I admit that JPR wasn't started until long AFTER the playroom crap got posted on the DU Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #262

I have no idea what you think you're saying Cary Aug 2017 #266

Sounds to me like attacking the D party and loyal democrats is something Eliot Rosewater Aug 2017 #242

Um, didn't you just do that? Assuming this Bill person was a DUer, of course. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #252

You consider mentioning the the site an attack? Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #254

You mentioned someone named Bill. That is an individual. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #263

Surrender your medical license! Omaha Steve Aug 2017 #264

No thank you, also, I don't appreciate the threatening PM you sent me. Ninsianna Aug 2017 #269
