The BernieBro and Obamaboys narrative was created by the same person, and allegedly the bernie bros were actually Hillary paid commenters. (again, allegedly)
If we allow someone to blatantly try and change popular opinion under the guise of anonymity, we will lose internet for what it is. India is seeing the same with easily bought twitter trends, specially by the populist government ruling the capital state.
Multiple people on reddit report that a lot of times, most of the new submissions are downvoted heavily on the /r/SandersForPresident sub. I think this is very worrying
Realistically, if they are willing to buy Facebook likes and twitter followers, what else are they willing to do to persuade public opinion to their liking? Companies also engage in a form of this guerrilla propaganda.
