View submission: Reddit Recap 2021
when you could CLEARLY see the astroturfing in action. Right around the end of 2016, when Hillary Clinton started a run on the presidency and all of a sudden, every single post showing Hillary in a negative light suddenly started getting thousands of downvotes!
Sounds like someone needs a recap of reddit in 2016 since this is laughably wrong. Not to mention that the election was in 2016 so she definitely didn't start it then.

The election was in 2016. In November.
Hillary Clinton was announced as democratic nominee for the POTUS after the primaries in June, 2016.
And around about then is when the astroturfing started in earnest.
Show me the fucking lie, my guy.
