Are Russian trolls active on the internet?

Are they close to home?

1. Active on the internet, yes.

Here, probably not right now. Trolls here are probably more of the right-wing idiot variety. I wasn't around during the 2016 primaries, but from what I've heard, people think there were a lot of Russian trolls around then.

3. Yes.

4. There's probably a few here

This is one of the most powerful Democratic websites on the internet, and since it's obvious that Russia views the Democrats as the threat and not the Republicans, they'd be fools to ignore it.

5. I think DU is pretty good at self-policing

Too much wisdom here to let a troll split us for long.

Are they here? Sure. Are they sticking around? No way.

7. I actually think our self policing is not what it once was.

6. All over discussionist.

Manny Goldstein and WillyT doing Putins work for free?

9. Reddit purged a bunch of them. YouTube still has a problem. The bots and trolls fill up comment

sections on YouTube with the same exact provocative statements that seem to be divine pronouncements to alt-right types —tons of anti-semitic conspiracies, Seth Rich, race “wars,” constant claims that Europe is being “invaded,” etc. And yes I think there have definitely been a few here as well.
