Both, but there was definitely blatant astroturfing after Biden withdrew and Kamala became the nominee.

I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.

Surprising amount of political staffers... As if that is a class of people. Those people are normies and not tech savvy. They're all workaholics too so most of them probably only used LinkedIn for social media.

Your idea that people who self-host somehow equals political staffers is just asinine. There's literally no overlap.
