96. Why are you so upset?

Tue Nov 1, 2016, 01:53 PM

Nov 2016

I was talking about people who recently signed up or rarely posted and the totality of their ops are CONCERN TROLLING. Not supporting anyone or anything. Just concern trolling. They change headlines to seem worse, they invent stats, they only post the most rightwing polls. You should not be so very very upset. No point, really.
