I mean, I honestly don't care about hating on Bernie, all I care about is that we have a truly democratic presidential election, which is clearly not the case right now.

That does gray it a bit. I'm not on the slack and I think that was a bit dumb. On the other hand, something like this does not harm anyone. r/worldpolitics get 20 or so upvoted Bernie posts like everyday, honestly moreso than all international politics combined. I do question where the mods' priorities are if they seem to be more focused on investigating fresh coverage rather than doing something about making an effort to diversify the content you all get.
Edit: I'm obviously not blaming you singularly, and r/worldpolitics will never be as shit as r/politics, just wondering intentions and all that.

As someone who frequents both subs, I can safely say that there was not a single post or comment I could see on r/yangforpresidenthq that asked anyone to upvote that post, only a celebratory post about the aforementioned one hitting the front page. The only argument I could see for "brigading" was probably the 20k+ upvotes that were gained after that post, although i hardly believe that a quarter of an entire subreddit could coordinate upvoting a single post when most of their internal posts barely break the couple thousands range.
This shouldn't even matter. The "brigaders" you seem to question showed no malicious intent and just wanted to promote their presidential candidate of choice. Had the brigaders become aggressive, it would completely be acceptable to remove the post.
If I missed anything and you have proof of malicious intent or aggression, I will happily be on your side regarding this.
