Bash and trash on Hillary....just one of a number of people who joined DU, got into a primary, and one of two things must be true:

1.) Unlimited time and obsessed with hate for Hillary (personality disorder? anti-women? anti-gun control, who knows?) in some kind of extreme way. Even someone who preferred Bernie would not post thousands of posts to attack a political candidate unless emotionally extreme.

or

2.) A paid operative or troll of some kind; representing a RW group or political organization with the intent of creating havoc and disrupting the leading Democratic support for Hillary. It's a job to go online every day and attack. It would not matter if one represented Bernie or some other candidate that had no chance to win, as long as they take down Hillary.

There's no other logical reason for such behavior. If you were really an extreme Bernie fan, then volunteer, make phone calls, GOTV, or head for the local Bernie campaign office.

There have been a bunch of these high-number posters in GDP. Some have stylized formats with almost professional links and clips. They sometimes drop 3-4 lengthy OPs at odd hours of the night or within 5 minutes time. Very few people could really do all that research themselves. I know that I followed a bunch of links and sources from one of the suspects and traced it back to the staff and recent graduates of a college newspaper who represented a RW group.

DU would be better if such disruptors were banned, but for whatever reason that has not been the case. It seems easy to spot the extremists.

Once Hillary wins, we'll see some of the operatives disappear. That may be a clue they were not really Democrats to start with, so the swan songs and suicide notes will appear!
