Lesson for opposing camps: Two bannings today, one pro-Sanders, one pro-HRC. Same person. [View all] blm Aug 2015 OP

WOW. stranger81 Aug 2015 #1

Actually the troll is only anti-Hillary Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #2

Yep. Definitely looks that way. Alcibiades_mystery was all over him/her Number23 Aug 2015 #11

Or the troll is anti Dem or anti-DU and wants to sow discord. cyberswede Aug 2015 #13

I'm leaning towards anti-Dem altogether hired to sow dissent. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #15

Yep, like they tried to make both groups of supporters look obnoxious. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #19

Exactly MaggieD Aug 2015 #34

I agree. delrem Aug 2015 #35

Oh now I remember this guy. Starry Messenger Aug 2015 #58

They are trolling both sides PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #3

So one was pro-Hillary and the other played the opposite role? beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #4

... NuclearDem Aug 2015 #20

LOL! beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #22

No. The first sock was "anti-Hillary". delrem Aug 2015 #51

Well as long as Bernie supporters get the blame that's all that matters to some. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #53

I think that was the POINT of it, BMUS. delrem Aug 2015 #57

Nah, I like it here just fine. It's our home too. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #59

False. The site owners have indeed endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton. delrem Aug 2015 #63

Meh. I'm still staying. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #65

I never said that the site owners want to "get rid of us" (eg. Bernie/O'Malley supporters). delrem Aug 2015 #66

They're not making it hostile for us so I'm okay with staying put. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #67

People are known to walk and chew gum at the same time. delrem Aug 2015 #72

They're suffering more than we are, check out the greatest page today, hell EVERY day. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #76

OK - it's hopeless. You don't want to listen to a single thing I say. delrem Aug 2015 #77

I just see both sides. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #91

I hear you loud and clear, and agree dreamnightwind Aug 2015 #139

They own the house but not the people that live in it. zeemike Aug 2015 #105

No they are not "pro Bernie". But many of us as members donate money to their site. Autumn Aug 2015 #132

I stopped and thought about this for a day. delrem Aug 2015 #150

I'm confused as to why you think we Sanders supporters should find another place. Autumn Aug 2015 #152

The owners here are pros who threw in with HRC even before the start. delrem Aug 2015 #153

Thank you. Now I understand and that makes sense. Autumn Aug 2015 #154

not so much pro-HRC or pro-Sanders, more like anti-Dem behind the screen of primary rivalry. blm Aug 2015 #130

Yep. I had IMed a Duer that both sides are being played. I don't believe that she believed me. R. Daneel Olivaw Aug 2015 #5

An agent here to rip us apart. Agnosticsherbet Aug 2015 #6

Who does #2 work for? Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #7

Well Al B. Sure.... Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #14

LOL Agnosticsherbet Aug 2015 #108

Yep, it's common as hell. Bluenorthwest Aug 2015 #8

This was the same person. The lesson is that a mole came here to post garbage about hrmjustin Aug 2015 #10

All and any side of the Democraric primary debate at DU need to be clear: any kind of outside trolling is unacceptable and to be Fred Sanders Aug 2015 #12

It looks to me like a pro Sanders poster who created an sufrommich Aug 2015 #16

Yes. The lesson is not for us. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #17

Really. Because when he/she was presenting her Bernie mask, I found him/her obnoxious. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #25

You could take a look at Beauregard's now unhidden sufrommich Aug 2015 #28

Never said there were a "both sides are bad" persona. A successful troll picks a side. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #45

Reading here is H supporters artislife Aug 2015 #60

It was not a pro Sanders poster. We know the Sanders supporters, it was a shit stirring troll Autumn Aug 2015 #27

Poster seemed rather pro Sanders to me. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #42

And the other seemed pro Hillary to me. Autumn Aug 2015 #49

I wonder why she created that account. To throw people off her trail? I think so. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #52

Justin, they came into the Socialist group TBF Aug 2015 #135

Ok fair enough. My mistake and good pick ups on yours and others part. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #136

Yep. We do. Sometimes I've responded and asked them to just stop. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #50

Well the troll sure got a lot of BSers reccing his/her threads... BooScout Aug 2015 #118

Not the first one to do that. I have seen supporters if other candidates rec a trolls post Autumn Aug 2015 #121

You got to love the minimizing going on. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #30

Imagine if it would have been someone who created such a sock sufrommich Aug 2015 #32

That's the way it looked to me. NOT the first time, definitely not the last time, and probably.... George II Aug 2015 #56

Or just a troll who liked to fuck with people. nt cyberswede Aug 2015 #93

the Sanders Support was just Cover to attack other Democrats , she is most likely a Donald Trump JI7 Aug 2015 #106

Please read my post #33 - TBF Aug 2015 #134

Fascinating stevenleser Aug 2015 #18

Candelista posted a fair amount of anti-Hillary hitpieces. Many received a good amount of rec's. stevenleser Aug 2015 #21

There are lessons to be learned here but i doubt they will be. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #23

She also never posted death wishes for DUers,as her sock did. sufrommich Aug 2015 #24

That was a straight link to a Time Magazine article citing a poll that Hillary was slipping. Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #29

Simple. Some Sanders folks are chomping at the bit for any potential bad thing about Hillary stevenleser Aug 2015 #40

I am a Sanders supporter and yes, I am happy to see Bernie doing better in polls and Luminous Animal Aug 2015 #48

And so eager to see anti-Hillary info you got taken in by a troll. stevenleser Aug 2015 #64

See my #40 above. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #43

Was Steven on that rec list? frylock Aug 2015 #54

The two in my bookmarks had a ton of recs most of them were unreced Autumn Aug 2015 #62

Ah. I agree, and not just because I recc'd that "hitpiece" about Clinton sliding in the polls. frylock Aug 2015 #69

That article was from Time, a fucking reputable site. Had I seen it I would have recced it. Autumn Aug 2015 #74

Your McCarthy-type innuendo is pathetic brentspeak Aug 2015 #73

Ok, i saw that one coming a while back. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #86

A Sanders supporter who never posted in the Sanders group. Yeah, that's the ticket Autumn Aug 2015 #88

Not all Sanders supporters posts there. You know that. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #89

That was not a Sanders supporter, that one just hated Hillary, plain as day Autumn Aug 2015 #94

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it was a caver. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #98

JI7 said they were trolling before Sanders announced. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #99

I'm feeling generous today too. beam me up scottie Aug 2015 #104

Thanks for spelling it out. FINALLY delrem Aug 2015 #95
