2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If I were a GOP operative, I'd try to stir up factional rivalry among Dems [View all]Frances
(8,545 posts)7. Thank you for this common sense approach to the Dem primary
I am firmly convinced that many of the insulting posts on DU are not from Democrats
When W was President, I used to get these emails from my super conservative cousin. The emails she forwarded to me were supposedly written by ordinary people. Come to find out, many were composed by people who were paid to write them to look as though they were written by ordinary people.
I think that someday we will learn that some of these super rich people like the Koch brothers paid people to do the same kind of thing on DU and other websites because you are right: the Koch brothers and their ilk are the ones who will benefit if a Republican is in the White House.
