That guy is an astroturfer paid by the DNC. I've looked into it some years ago, but I don't have the links and documents handy. It would take me some time to dig that up again (his name was in the NY DNC financial disclosure as a monthly recipient).


EDIT: I'm talking about Majid Padellan, the person making the tweet. He's a paid shill. NOT Djokovic. Meanwhile, I saw that the NY Post wrote about him.

Doesn't cover all the dirt I saw on him, but at least it lends credibility to what I wrote earlier.


It has become a common practice for political parties or other interest groups to pay social-media (semi-)influential people to parrot their agenda.

It's especially funny when the "anti-establishment revolutionaries" from BredTube do it on behalf of the establishment.

The BreadTube thing yeah, agreed. But with Djokovic why does it matter? This guy was straight up deported for his political views. We need to stand up for people's rights even if we don't like them or agree with them.

When I said "That guy is an astroturfer paid by the DNC" I was talking about Majid Padellan or BrooklynDad_Defiant!, i.e. the person who wrote the tweets.

I agree that the deportation of Djokovic was a pathetic political theater.

with Djokovic why does it matter?

It matters because the astroturfed support for the deportation sows the seeds for legitimizing ostracism due to ideological non-compliance in the public eye. And a large portion of the public is guzzling it up like cognitively impaired automatons.

We need to stand up for people's rights even if we don't like them or agree with them.

Preach! And I even believe this applies to Majid Padellan and his dishonest and whorish practice of parroting the party line as if it was his own opinion for money. He should have every right to do so.
As it is our duty to point out his dishonesty and reveal his hustle. He's not "a Brooklin dad" speaking his mind. He's a DNC-paid shill.

Haha, yeah I definitely was not reading carefully enough and misunderstood you. Looks like we are in agreement.
