Remember when they told us, so long ago, that social media was full of disinformation.

The Harris/Walz campaign caught manipulating up-votes on Reddit.

Deep into-the-weeds analysis, with screenshots, etc.

Bottom line:

This means 12.5 percent of the most upvoted content on r/Politics came directly from volunteers of the Harris-Walz campaign. Remember, this operation has only picked up steam in the last two weeks. On Oct. 17, eight of the 30 hottest posts on r/Politics were created by Harris-Walz campaign volunteers. That’s over 25 percent.

They did what they could. What they couldn’t, is have their candidate converse with Joe Rogan like a human for a couple hours. The internet giveth, the internet taketh.

Who was better?

I don't think she would have won a primary, and whoever did, would have been better.

I posted on this last week. They were also trying to manipulate community notes on Twitter.

Yep. I remember that.

Ain't irony ironical?
