    How would you define “astroturfing”? (I’ll give you a hint: it doesn’t mean “person I disagree with”)

      Organisation or group trying to pass off as a real grassroots level individual advocating for a cause.

      Astroturf is fake grass(roots).

        Ok and how does that definition apply to a user that has posted less than one topical news article per day and zero vote manipulation?

                  An account who pops up to push party propaganda just before an election and leaves straight after is.

                  Why do you try so hard to pivot to all and anyone in your posts? Is this a tactic to derail a argument you’re losing?
