You're right. What I was trying to say is "This is how r/politics proudly claims to work right on the sidebar." The moderation is even more insidious, but I haven't posted there ever since the astroturfing got turned up to 11 for the South Carolina Primary. There's no point arguing with interns shitposting for David Brock and Neera Tanden. I'd rather talk to humans.
Were around in 2016 when, during the very beginning of Bernie's mainstream ascendance, over a single weekend, it went from a strongly pro-Bernie sub to an almost 100% Hillary Clinton pro-centrism orgy? You know, right around the time it was announced that Correct The Record was spending 16 million dollars (that we knew of) to shape online discourse on Reddit and Twitter about Hillary?
And then in true fascist-projection fashion, were already saying all dissenters to the mainline were paid-for comments coming from Russian troll farms. They were saying back then that BLM was a Russian psyop to foment racial discord. I always wondered just how many of those lovely folks were on the take. Fuckin buncha shit-ass losers.
Haven't posted in r/politics really since. It's like making an account at CIA.gov so you can try to post "rational arguments" about statecraft on their private message boards with their agents.
