BUSTED: The Inside Story Of How The Kamala Harris Campaign Manipulates Reddit (And Breaks The Rules) To Control The Platform
The Federalist ^ | 10/29/24 | Reddit Lies

Posted on 10/30/2024 1:54:59 AM PDT by CFW

(Part one of an investigation into how the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating social media sites to artificially boost their popularity, spread election disinformation, and skirt election laws.)

For years, many have speculated that Democrat political candidates may be filling social media with fake posts to deceive the public and make their campaigns and causes seem more popular than they are. These claims have often been dismissed, citing that Democrat voters are already more likely to be on the internet compared to their not-as-tech-savvy Republican counterparts. This would suggest that the constant flood of left-leaning content on websites such as Reddit was merely a reflection of the userbase. However, many people simply couldn’t shake the feeling that something was just off, especially in the run up to major elections. Despite my fervent belief that something was amiss, I never had any direct proof that Democrats were actively manipulating social media.

That all changed two weeks ago, when X user @jessiprincey replied to one of my posts with a screenshot from a Discord server, seemingly related to the Harris-Walz campaign:

[snip]

In this case, there is a team of volunteers who spam social media with posts that specifically promote Kamala. They then have other users pretend to be random individuals who just happened across the post and decided to comment. It’s no different than a shady company paying a team to write a bunch of fake Amazon reviews about their product to make it appear to be a better and more popular product than it is.

We've all run across these paid posters at sites that allow comments. They cut and paste talking points from the Harris campaign (previously it was from the Biden campaign). They don't respond to evidence, but simply repeat the same drivel time and time again.

They are usually easy to spot because they refer to Trump as "Drumpf" or "The Fat Guy" and pretend to believe every accusation against Trump ever made. The also constantly say he is a "convicted felon and adjudicated rapist".

Rules for GOP candidates. A wise man once told me to play by the rules, but don’t play by the rules that others make up for you, and for which they don’t play by themselves.

Yesterday, Benny Johnson was telling how bots manipulate Google to shadow ban media outlets like him and others. It’s pretty nasty stuff. And effective.

They’ve definitely infiltrated FR as well. On a side but related note, I’m certain they’re doing it on stock boards as well, particularly djt

As VP, Harris ordered tax-paid intel chiefs hunt
for anti-woke language in intelligence briefings
https://nypost.com ^ | 10/27/2024 | Chris Nesi

Harris worked to inject the themes of “equity” into every aspect of her work as vice president — from COVID-19 to hurricane relief, a new report says. And she started with intelligence briefings, according to the NY Times.

Soon after taking office, Harris reportedly had a problem with how female world leaders were allegedly being described in intel reports.....which she groused “used adjectives … rarely used to describe male leaders”...... The new veep sprang into action, ordering officials to scour years of intel agencies’ briefing reports for evidence of bias.

They turned up nothing besides “some questionable word choices,” with no evidence of any pattern of gender bias, an anonymous senior intel official told the outlet. The purportedly problematic words Harris highlighted were never revealed because the reports were classified, the Times noted. Despite the belly flop out of the gate, the first female vice president pressed on, determined to view every issue through the same DEI lens.

During the pandemic, Harris routinely asked staffers to break down vaccination metrics by demographics as part of an Easter egg hunt for any gaps she could discern. The line of inquiry was so frequent that her advisers would prepare answers to her inevitable questions about how various domestic issues impacted women and racial minorities (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

I tend to agree with your statement. A person’s IQ has a lot to do with political affiliation.

After being a subscriber to Reddit for seven years, I posted two or three Republican comments and they banned me permanently

Reddit ran the sub reddit “the Donald” off it’s platform, without a care. They equally don’t care Harris did this, they are one in the same

These are all direct violations of Reddit’s content policy, which explicitly forbids the types of vote manipulation that is encouraged on the Harris-Walz volunteer Discord server.
