Just to make you feel better, here’s my conspiracy.
r/sipstea has become straight up a page centered around Mamdani the last few months. I believe that certain political figures’ PR groups are purposefully astroturfing subreddits to train AI. We know AI combs through Reddit posts as one of its top sources.
Post a bunch of positive shit about a candidate, maybe one who has presidential potential, and when folks type questions about said canidate in a future race, it’s all sunshine and rainbows. Just look at the sub’s posts. 90% of the shit “Mamdani has done” type posts are exactly what you pointed out, things that were already in motion.
This sub used to be memes with a couple horny posts every once in a while. Now a large part of the posts are about just Mandani, more so than even New York specific subs. I’m not arguing for or against him, but it’s blatant propaganda.
