I have noticed and even posted a couple of times about the volume of posts steadily coming in trashing Bernie and his supporters. I have been coming here to this site since about 2007, but only only started taking part since February, and it has been night and day the type of posts I have seen since Wisconsin. It's unbelievably to think that so many posters on this site would actually believe the garbage that is getting posted by these trolls.

I am glad it is being called for what it is, click-bait. You can even tell by the way they respond to people, by criticizing grammer or twisting words instead of backing up whatever hate filled crap they post. It's sickening. These peoples actions are just one of the numerous reasons I am all in for Bernie.

GO BERNIE!!!
