This is going to backfire so much.

There are a few large subs with moderators that are basically in Reddit’s pocket. This has the potential of those mods getting voted out and Reddit either losing control of those subs or ignoring the results and angering users even more.

If they are in Reddit's pocket, why are they protesting?

There's a bunch of them that aren't. They'll be the new guard when the protestors are booted, plus Reddit has a core of paid moderators that they call on occasionally for events and special programs.

Whats to stop the users from booting those folks and then replacing them with mods that will close the subs?

Reddit admins only acknowledging the results of the vote when it suits them.
