In reply to the discussion: Clinton fans, I get your elation over getting to kick us while we're down a little more. [View all]Andy823
(11,495 posts)The trolls have taken positions on both sides of this race and they have done a hell of a job of causing problems, dividing the board, and just all round stirring up shit, day in and day out. My own view is that more of them have taken to "claiming" they are for Bernie in order to piss of both sides at one time. They know if they post absolute BS about Clinton it will piss of the Clinton supporters, and encourage other Bernie supporters to fight with each other. The one thing I have seen is far, far more of those who "claim" to be supporting Bernie say they will NEVER vote for Hillary no matter what. I have only actually see one or two Clinton supporters make that claim.
The bottom line is the boards have been used by the trolls to cause problems, and it's working. The fact is the right wants to divide the left just like they are divided, in order to try and pull of a win in November. No matter who wins, and I have said this since day one, we have to support them or else we lose everything Obama has done for us in his 8 years in office. Anyone who wants change should be able to see that allowing Trump to win is not going to get us there, if fact if he wins it will be worse than George W. Bush's time in office. Even Bernie has said Hillary would be 100 times better than trump on her worse day.
My advice is don't fee the trolls. It's pretty obvious who they are when all they do is post negative things day in and day out.
