we have to realize that anybody can come on here and troll us. Anybody.

All of us must be watchful, especially of those people who like to stir the pot just to create conflict. I remember '16 when I was a big Bernie supporter on here, and I'll tell you that I KNOW we got trolled. On both sides. Because as you say, 'that is the game.'

I really like this site, and the friends I've made here. There are some really good people.

But do be aware. Always, ALWAYS, in the face of a big firestorm on a thread, ask yourself who might benefit from the polarization that is happening. If it is Russia or others who want to tear us down, then we probably have a troll at the bottom of it.

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