I thought that might be it.

No, I'm not concern trolling. Yes I know what that is.

Since the truth is out as to why you were being defensive, I apologize for being abrasive back to you. I just took offense to your aggression.

But no, I'm not concern trolling. Honestly, I've been a bit too exposed to a good amount of negativity regarding Bernie. It tends to wear on me and I begin to doubt Bernie myself. I have a lot of hope for Bernie. But I don't have hope for people who just give up and play by the system's rules. I believe thats the reason why most people will vote Hillary instead of the obvious better choice of Bernie. Because they'd rather beat the GOP than actually try and make a change in our nation.

It's that negativity that leads me to truly be concerned. Not to concern troll. That's what sucks about being apart of groups on the internet. As soon as you have true concern, people think you're trolling. I only seek to be enlightened and encouraged.

You will never see me trolling, I assure you. Again, my apologies for being abrasive.
