The trolls are already out on Kamala Harris... [View all]

I posted on Twitter a few items about her from DU and got attacked by so called '"Bernie Bros" but I suspect they are really Russian trolls, something about how they type certain words in English don't seem right... I have blocked at least a dozen people already. Some one told me to go back to my gaming and stay "the fuck out of politics or else" ... Screw that.. Blocked and Reported.
