Sanders Group members--all DUers, really: Please be cautious.

10. Your observations are spot on.

When I see snarky &/or passive-aggressive &/or hostile &/or obscenely worded posts from someone with a low post count, I routinely check their profile to see how long they've been around. When there is a glaring disconnect between years on DU and number of posts, I do consider the possibilities you pointed out re moles or someone having multiple accounts. I read their posts with a grain of salt, so to speak. It would be politically naive not to. Karl Rove may have been the father of political dirty tricks, but his heritage lives on, and most especially re candidates of any party who put winning at all costs above ethical campaigning.

This is the most critical Democratic primary I've seen in my time as a Dem. That goes back to my first vote, which was cast for JFK. With so much at stake for the One Percenters/Wall Street/MIC/Big Pharma/Big Oil-TPP-Keystone-fracking crowd, odds are overwhelming that there will be more dirty tricks than usual this time around. To argue that DU would not be the target of disruptors is to say that DU is meaningless and ineffectual. I wouldn't be putting in time posting here if I believed that.

Forewarned is forearmed.
