Be Aware Bernie Groupers....

Since it is obvious to all of us that Bernie won last Tuesday more actually Delegates despite the mess in Arizona, with the strong stance of Utah, Idaho and Democrats Aboard -- with a small pick up in AZ despite the Election Suppression -- there are Trolls -- Trolling the Bernie Group seeking to hide posters and post for the reason - the post gets under THEIR skin however, does not violate an actual rule.

So be aware and keep your eyes open. There is an blatant attempt to silence supporters of Bernie Sanders right here in the Bernie Sanders group. And that is sad indeed.

Meanwhile on Good News Washington, Alaska and Hawaii are on Saturday -- Each Leaning Bernie's Way.

I've found one tactic somewhat annoying to troll-kind. If one of their baiting posts had something I still wanted to refute, I would do so in a different fashion... instead of replying to the troll and taking the bait, I put the information I want to say in a different context and reply to the OP.

Taking any troll bait will just end up in a downward spiral of them trying to stump you or waste your time researching and providing facts to your point that they will then ignore and try to discredit as coming from right-wing source or being a right-wing smear.

Funny how every single thing that isn't 100% positive about Hillary seems to be a right wing smear.

Stick to the threads that offer information & stay away from the thread that are meant to provoke & based on emotion.

If you do wander into the Bernie bashing threads keep this in mind. Today is three days since Hillary's supporters were turned away at the polls in Arizona and still not A word from her.

Valid indeed. Says plenty and a lot at the same time...

I just tried to add someone to my jury blacklist and discovered their names do not show up in a search if they have 0 chance of being selected. I usually investigate to determine why they can't be selected and I found one with eleven hides. Their transparency page was open and I realized that they keep saying the same thing and getting caught on it. For example, they accuse the DU member of not being a Democrat.

Sad thing is, it's someone I thought was a nice person.

Maybe it is time to open up the handles of those who alert a Group post. This might be fair as most folks join a group on DU to be among the likeminded. WIth such it is rare if ever, a member who choose to be in a group would alert a post -- except for the most rarest of occasions.

THis will probably never happen but would be NICE to end all of the Group Trolling as these Trolling type actions are very unbecoming, indeed.

Otherwise, it's 4 more years of failed establishment politics, and we will sink further into the abyss. If you didn't see him with Cenk this past couple of days, it's worth the view.
