    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.
