It's been going on for awhile, but this last week has seen a surge in negative posts, shit stirring, and obvious trolling.

2016 all over again, but instead of only two candidates for the trolls play games with, they have over 20 at the moment. It's sad to see so many DU posters getting caught up in the negativity, bashing, and arguments.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
