I know this isn't directly related to the GD : P, but is is--due to the divisive nature of someof the posts.
They seem highly suspicious in nature, many from newer or once dormant accounts.
BUSTED: Trump-loving comment trolls pose as Sanders and Clinton supporters to divide Democrats
An Internet troll who claims to have found deep divisions among factions of the Left on Twitter laid out a plan Saturday for fellow Donald Trump supporters to exploit those fissures.
Posting on the sometimes-dubious message board 4chan, the anonymous poster wrote a post entitled, Lets troll Bernie and Hillary supporters systematically, where the writer says he/she posed as a Democratic voter and trolled supporters of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in an effort to deepen divisions and help Trump secure a victory in November.

Republicans have been doing this on DU for months. It's a very stupid and immature thing to do, which is why Republicans think it's clever.

but not before revealing them.
