And I personally think it’s astroturfing. The political parties spend tons of $ to influence opinion. Why wouldn’t they hire a bunch of bots to push their message in this space?

How can you lose an election so bad and think that it’s the voters who need to change? The tail does not wag the dog, democrats! I refuse to believe this is genuine sentiment. I live in a very liberal state and IRL conversation it’s fuck the democrats, a whole lot of people I work with were first time trump voters. BLUE STATE. One of the most liberal. Home to Bernie sanders!

It's always the same accounts and there seems to be immediate group voting as you will see an almost immediate and usually similar number in these kinds of posts as if they are waiting and refreshing comments to make sure there is their brand of discontent.

Honestly it's a shame that the mods keep allowing this instead of telling them to shut up and take a breather instead of trying to start fights and make shit up that makes this social site worse on a weekly basis.
