posts that were pro-Sanders. It was really weird and the only reason I caught on was that people would quote other people, but when you went to look for the original post, it wasn't there. It's a crazy primary and I don't put anything past anyone anymore. I used to have a lot more faith in the system, but this election has really opened my eyes. It wasn't this site, I just want to reiterate that, it's a news aggregator type site so they don't have forums but 'comment sections' for the different stories and it's just brutal.

I have to say that the disruption posts are working spectacularly because I know I've been feeling discouraged from even engaging in any sort of political discussion online, here or anyplace else, because of the sheer lack of any good faith or even honesty in the discourse, it's all about proving a point or twisting what you said to mean something else.

I know you said that you figured out why your posts looked wonky, I just wanted to let you know that your initial theory wasn't crazy, with all the gaslighting that is going on it's sometimes hard to tell.

Yes, but, what happened with me can only be explained by admin minipulation. Hiraeth May 2016 #6

I think some shenanigans sometimes go on. n/t RKP5637 May 2016 #7

I wonder why I notice it more this time. This harkens back to '68 and I was a child but, I remember. Hiraeth May 2016 #23

1968 was very different though. There was a Democratic Party convention LiberalArkie May 2016 #27

So they selected someone who the people really did not like to run for president. Hiraeth May 2016 #28

I don't know how it was in your part of the state, Art_from_Ark May 2016 #33

Eugene McCarthy? LiberalArkie May 2016 #39
