An anonymous account is not the same thing as a bot. As acrimonious as the current state of politics is, I wouldn't blame anyone for using a pseudonym online to voice their opinion.
Touche. But you'll have to pardon me for being distrustful of anyone that walks in just to defend a politician of any kind (without hard proof, anyway).
This is understandable, but nonetheless HN guidelines ask that you suspend that distrust. Every legit account starts with a first comment, and it's natural that a person's first comment would be on a topic they feel strongly about.
You can check my comment history to verify my identity if you want someone that is defending Yang. I'm actually being vocal in this thread about Yang Gangers specifically making accounts to participate in conversations about him.
