4. There seems to be a deliberate effort out there to split the Democratic party

by replaying the primary and playing to Clinton fans who were put out by the lack of lockstep obedience from the beginning and alienating Sanders fans who thought we and the party needed a change. Both sides were right and Clinton adopted most of Sanders's better ideas and we all voted for her.

So I think a lot of this stuff is coming from outside DU, paid trolls playing on lingering bruised feelings and outright spite. It's ugly and not where DU is usually at.

I've been throwing bashers into ignore as soon as they out themselves. Trollish behavior means they're trolls and they don't belong on my screen, not when we all have to work together to neutralize the pig in the White House.

As someone on another thread said, it has come in waves. Well, folks, it's 6 months down the road and it's time to let go of the primary and move on. If you can't do that, welcome to ignore.
