This an alleged memo from a mod at r/SandersforPresident to create havoc over at r/The_Donald and /pol/. Btw -- it's not working [low energy].
Is there any reason to believe arguing and/or trolling on internet forums results in substantive changes in how large numbers of people will vote?
Well it's a clear process and you have possibly thousands of people to push the agenda - seems very plausible on the site the members are working. After the initial disruption of topics then you have remainder of the 100,000+ members to push the message off the front page. The main group of members wouldn't know about the initial collusion, but being supporters they will finish off what the mods/ first group started.
I guess there's no definitive way to know if surfing reddit political message boards changes one's voting habits but personally I don't think I'd be swayed. And projecting how I might act to be how large number of others definitely will act seems right.
So... What you are saying is you a a fake account created by texxx to keep us out of the Trump thread by sliding this one to the top?
Yes it's too long I had to post the picture - I thought it was interesting because it is probably happening at many forums... maybe even Clutchfans.
Shilling has been proven from Hilary's camp, and also mansanto. Very likely there are plenty of groups of people assigned to discredit others online. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/27/1373484/-Monsanto-s-Discredit-Bureau-Swings-into-Action#
