Fuck me, posts supporting the Yes vote are getting negged on reddit

would not surprise me if there was organised brigading of voting

I feel it's been organised for a few months now.

The conservative disinformation engine. I feel they muddied the waters pretending to be from both sides. Acting as YES provocateurs calling people racist and what not. That "one race above others in the constitution" line that was being thrown about. Then once it's all as confusing as they can get it, they said if you're unsure... vote no.

If it hits all it could also just be my countrymen in the US. We know very little about your politics and are probably more likely to see astroturfed info rather than grassroots.
