  1. this is 4 years old.

  2. if you go to reddit.com and not archive.is, you see that the mods deleted it because it was determined fake.

  3. it could have been they determined it was fake because it damaged reddit's interests to be exposed as astroturfers.

Well if the Reddit mods said it was fake then that's all the proof I need!

Agree. The r/offmychest power jannies are well known for their strong ethical standards and insightful knowledge.

Reddit mods are unimpeachable!

Why DO so many people on this site post old shit?

OMG!! That comment about Bernie Sanders if following the formula, that's hilarious!

That spooky moment of seeing someone else doing the same thing for the opposite side must've been an eye opener.

If any of this is even real. Could be. Sounds authentic enough.

Whether this user specifically is telling the "truth" or not, we all know this goes on.

It's unnerving how the post was phrased.

They give us a script. If commenter mentions A, we mention B. If a commenter mentions “random negative thing x,” we respond with a vague counterpoint, like calling our candidate “authentic” or saying “look at his record” without specifying.

There’s even a script for when the other commenter is winning the argument. We’re told specifically to derail the discussion, throw mud, and in the end, accuse the commenter of being a conspiracy theorist/tinfoil hat wearer. That way, anyone reading the discussion will see those negative points as being associated with weird people.

Like they've got it down to a science.

Yep. Exactly.
