I will try to find the source, but the 50501 subreddit and its organizers have partnered with an org that was formed and worked on the Sanders campaign in 2016. I think it was in the last few paragraphs of the Newsweek article that this was mentioned. So while it’s not NOT Reddit randos, it seems to be slightly more “by the book” than the “Reddit randos” phrasing would let on.
