    Yes it is, they’re clearly not a real person yet they’re trying to post as if they’re a normal user.

      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?

            Because they’re not a real user, and the account will stop posting after tomorrow?

              So all campaigning is astroturfing? That doesn’t meet your own definition.

                  Anyone who disagrees with me isn’t real.

                    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?
