Anybody else notice

that there are lots of newbies on DU today, whose names I don't recognize. Most are expressing their deep felt concern for Hillary. Or is it just me?

1. I don't notice that sort of thing

I think people are just talking about what they read elsewhere online.

2. Your concern over concerns of concerned posters is noted.

It's a nervous time. Even though we're ahead where it matters, it's not over. If the concern or tightening is real or not, maybe it'll keep voters motivated.

3. A lot of new members join to share pro-Trump polls

They are just trying to be helpful.

4. Well, it does keep us on our toes.

Whatever helps I guess, although it is time consuming to clean up the droppings.

5. Just got on.

I pulled up three posts before yours and was thinking the exact same thing. Low post-counts and "concern" for HRC. Could be harmless, I guess, just new posters. I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt.

6. I do know that at least one is gone.

8. Hey, if they want to make

sure each and every Democrat thinks this race is too close to stay home and gets everyone out to vote, I say welcome them with open arms. We should be behaving as if she's 5 points behind.

13. Right, better to be cautious because this thing is over yet. n/t

14. As someone with a low post count I find assumptions like this offensive

I was actually a member here back when Howard Dean was running. I got attacked over having a low post count. I was volunteering for his campaign...a first for me. I was SO turned off by how I was treated that I never came back here until this election...only because Trump is so damn offensive and I'm ranting about it so much it's annoying my family. I came here so I had somewhere to rant about his orange ass.

Back when Dean was running I think I may have even got banned from here because I was getting attacked over stupid assed assumptions that I was really a troll.

Please...STOP making automatic assumptions just because there is a low post count. These could be people who have been lurking quietly for a long time but only now feel strongly enough to want to discuss and take part. Give people a chance for Christ sakes. If they are a troll it will become apparent soon enough.

How about inclusion and making room is the supposed big tent for the newbs.
