5. I don't know about that but there is an annoying spam problem

with people posting many threads of the exact same article or just random comments that should not even be a new thread. This buries any effort of discussing any but two specific candidates. I used settings to trash the first and last name of one candidate in order to be able to read things about other candidates due to it being excessive. I have spent the last few days clicking on the trash this thread option for repetitive threads but after refreshing the page there are 5 more similar threads to replace them. Now I'm at the point where I'm going to have to add a second candidate to the trash settings just to be able to read about other primary candidates. Come on people...there are individual candidate forums too. It's great to love your candidate but it's getting to be a bit much.

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