Kamala Harris is sinking in the polls.
But that does not mean the election is anywhere close to being over.
And Kamala Harris employed one underhanded tactic to win the 2024 election with this Hail Mary.
Harris’ astroturfing campaign
Joe Biden won in 2020 in large part due to Big Tech companies censoring the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” bombshell from The New York Post.
According to a study conducted by the Media Research Center, roughly 17% of voters in swing states would not have voted for Biden had they known about the laptop and other Biden family scandals.
That type of online information manipulation is not uncommon.
Google, which is very biased to the Left, got caught juking its algorithm to suppress certain information and boost other information.
For example, the July 13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump was memory-holed by Google as well as multiple AI platforms.
The “mistake” was later corrected.
However, the Big Tech shenanigans going on in the 2024 election appear to be even worse than the Hunter Biden laptop suppression.
It appears that the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating information on Reddit in violation of the platform’s terms of service.
The Federalist reported that “Reddit is broken into thousands of message boards on discrete topics, known as ‘subreddits.’ The Politics subreddit and several others are being actively targeted by the Harris-Walz campaign, with notable success. Since the Reddit astroturfing operation started, it has rapidly developed an organizational structure — complete with roles for team members, spreadsheets for tracking their analytics, and ‘Key Messaging’ to stick to when making a social media post.”
The campaign has a complex structure of posting information and having other Democrat operatives boost the content to make it appear more popular than it actually is.
More popular content gets pushed to the top of the subreddit.
Paid operatives boosting Harris content
The Federalist continued, “I found that 126 of the top 1,000 posts in the past month on r/Politics were posted by official Harris-Walz campaign volunteers. Owning one out of every eight of all top posts in r/Politics is not an easy feat, and it doesn’t just happen. Here’s how they achieved it. Every weekday morning, Harris for President staffers like Gabrielle Lynn post the ‘Daily Messaging Guidance’ to the server’s Reddit channel. It usually consists of articles and data that the Harris-Walz campaign wants to boost, as well as ‘key messaging’ that their Reddit volunteers should stick to.”
Democrat volunteers organize all of the links in a Google spreadsheet so others can click on the links and promote them with up-votes and positive comments.
The Federalist added that on “Gabrielle Lynn’s profile, you’ll find a Staff icon (the blue D), which indicates that she is a paid Democrat staffer. In this case, Gabrielle is a Harris for President staffer. . .The links compiled by official Harris-Walz staffers, along with other articles submitted by volunteers, are added to a Google Spreadsheet called ‘Reddit Organizing.’”
Like other Big Tech platforms, Reddit skews heavily to the Left.
Democrats have created local subreddits for various states and cities in an attempt to boost content in targeted areas.
Those subreddits have less monitoring, so moderators can break the rules and censor people on a whim.
For example, a “Texas” subreddit banned a conservative for posting the mirror image of a Democrat post.
The pro-Democrat post read: “Your vote matters, everyone’s vote matters! Don’t believe anyone that tells you otherwise! Tell your family, neighbors, friends, coworkers to go out and vote! Trump is the most dangerous threat that our country is facing right now. Texas can flip blue, you only need to go out and vote!”
The altered Republican post read: “Your vote matters, everyone’s vote matters! Don’t believe anyone that tells you otherwise! Tell your family, neighbors, friends, coworkers to go out and vote! Kamala is the most dangerous threat that our country is facing right now. Texas can stay red, you only need to go out and vote!”
The second message was deleted, and the user was permanently banned from the forum.
This is why Elon Musk is so hated.
He is not allowing his platform to be the plaything of the Left and alphabet agencies.
