      Sure, some of them are just galaxy brain cynics whose only political participation is actively sabotaging democratic outreach efforts because they like the way their farts smell.

      There is a difference between being critical when it is warranted, and doing literally nothing besides that.

        What’s better? Smelling you own farts, or drinking the Kool-aid that the US has a functioning democracy?

        Any propaganda in favor of the DMC which tries to sell them as anything but the lesser evil is just insulting your intelligence.

      We can’t verify anyone’s identity online to see if they are russian trolls due to the anonymising nature of the Internet so we instead have a look at their content and user history and make a decision based on that

      Usually trolls act like trolls

        Right, and the important distinction is that’s all they do. They go into political communities and agitate. They don’t talk about dogs or games or ways they are opposing Trump. Pretty much all they do is attack Democrats.
