If you're tempted to post some crap from O'Keefe's Project Veritas,

just don't do it. Whatever comes from that source is total shit. It doesn't belong in this forum or on DU.

If you don't know that already, now you do. So, please leave it where it lies. It stinks up the place.

Thanks!

Especially if they believe it. They don't know yet about Project Veritas, maybe. Or maybe they found something under a bridge and felt they needed to share it right away. It can be hard to tell.

It takes a bit of time to detect and remove them. I'm hopeful that DUers will recognize that and not feed such people the disruption they hope to cause.

I fear I hope in vain.

I check profiles whenever I see something out of character even for DU -- like that post. Often, they have been posted by someone who became a member just that day or the day before. Does that mean they are probably a troll? No, but this particular individual had already made 14 posts this morning ... I assume there were others like it.

I alerted the OP, perhaps others did as well.

They are determined to steal the next election as they did in 2016. I hope all the states have election security teams. I vote my mail, have a paper trail and the state records it as well.

There were clearly multiple alerts, yet the OP stood.

If you remember, there were a handful of obvious Russian trolls during the last Presidential election, and it took months before they were removed.

I hope that jurors pay extra careful attention this time around. Thus far, I'm disappointed.
