So much anger, tension, resentment, accusations. It goes well beyond mere support of one's candidate.
I think it could be that DU finally got so well known amongst the public that it attracted people whose sole mission is to be disruptors. They don't care about politics or issues. They just like to create havoc for fun and jokes. Stupid really. I wouldn't take half the comments on here seriously.
