Sanders Group members--all DUers, really: Please be cautious.
In the last few months, I and others have noticed an influx of posters who registered many years ago, but have very few posts relative to the number of years they have been members of DU.
Some of these posters purport to be pro-Hillary. Some purport to be pro-Bernie. I do not automatically draw conclusions about posters with low post counts. I am sure some are authentic. I can understand getting fired up about a primary and wanting to post here about it. But, I do have to wonder about posters who registered in, for example, 2001, have racked up under 2000 posts total in the past 14 years, but are now posting very boldly, especially about the role of race in this primary.
Like many DUers, I have done some reading at Conservative Cave and seen posters there bragging about having registered multiple "moles" years ago. I have no reason to think that is the only group of RWers who have done that.
I also suspect that some DUers who do post often have registered under more than one name, using one name for their "run of the mill" posting and another (or others) for more controversial posts--the classic sock scenario I--possibly all of us-- have seen on other boards.
I strongly recommend against suspecting everyone who seems to average very few posts a year, yet jumps into the thick of some Bernie Hillary argument and/or some racial argument. But, I do recommend bearing in mind that all posters are not what they say they are.
My deepest and apologies to you DUers who seldom post, but who are completely sincere when you do post. I do know you exist. We all know that. But, we all also need to bear in mind that some people--some screen names, actually, post here chiefly to create mischief. The term "shit stirring" comes to mind. Do not fall for it or get embroiled in it or get hidden or banned for it.
The rest of the thread is great too - Lots of accusations & DUmmy-on-DUmmy violence. :D

Half of the DUmp are our moles and the other half the truly insane.

Uh huh.

Like white folks pretending to be black, one supposes.
Or a guy pretending to be an Asian chick.
Or a primitive alleging himself to be intelligent. And so on......

Hmmmmm ... would that be akin to long-time-zero-post CC members visiting frank's profile page?
I've been participating on various Internet discussion boards since 1997 (not that I think that particularly unique). Trolls and moles have been common Internet discussion board fauna longer than that. If DU folk - the ones not maintaining their own trolls and moles on conservative boards, at least - aren't aware of that and don't post with due care, they're more naive than 10YOs!

Silly merrily primitive. Not a single coherent thought in her tiny little head.
You dolts are eating each other alive. There's a point where, as a mole, you just sit back and let it happen. Are you too dumb to know the rules of the game?
Might I suggest to you the low count posters who are showing up "yet jump(ing) into the thick of some Bernie Hillary argument and/or some racial argument" are actually posters who just don't post often but feel some need, for whatever reason, to do so now.
However, we do think you for the laughs caused by your paranoia. :II:

Let the circular firing squads begin. :popcorn:

Citizen/Comrade, you are suspected of harboring counterrevolutionary sympathies! How do you plead? A falling blade or a Nagant bullet to the back of your neck either way, of course, the mere accusation is sufficient proof anyway.

27. (She already beat me to it, but..) why do you assume this poster is a "sir"? I get really, really
Sick of people here automatically assuming that all posters are male. Women DO post here, you know.
Sheesh.
(I hate the generic "he" and really wish that English had a genderless pronoun. But in the meantime, it is really not hard work around the generic he and to construct sentences by using "that poster" or s/he, etc.)
The sheer genius of referring to DUmmies of uncertain or dynamic gender as a he/she/it. Hopefully one of those three titles is accurate.

Wait a minute!
Isn't that a 'male GHEY panther'?
By the way, the multi=colored, rainbow mohawk and the peircings are icing on the cake. The really large cake.

English does have just such a pronoun specifically for DUmmies regardless of gender(s).
"IT"!

"They" is also neuter gender (mentally insert joke here).
