In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: identity-attack and non-identity-attack. Identity attack refers to anything rude or disrespectful about someone's identity, including appearance, race, gender, and sexual orientation.

[EX Q]: Comment: The representatives of the government in power should be in the position, all things being equal, to offer appointments and positions at its disposal as it thinks fit.  If there is a law against it doing so, that law should be abolished.  If a government cannot use patronage appointments in the open to smooth its agenda then it will do so in the shadows.  Of course a government that uses patronage appointments recklessly, putting someone in a position where he/she is in over their head, will sooner or later be recognized as incompetent will have to face the consequences.  Governments should be allowed to act foolishly, essentially against their own long term best interests, in this regard.  That's one of the reasons we have elections; to get rid of foolish, incompetent governments.

[EX Q]: Comment: I knew it. I knew that whatever Dingman used as a title to his column, whatever his opening paragraphs were, I knew Dingman would end up in the same place he always ends up. I knew he'd end up promoting the same nonsensical garbage that the laziest of lazy journalists always promote; that being the false equivalency and both siderist trash that people like Dingman, Ron Fournier and David Brooks always promote.  

No matter the specific issue or situation, Dingman is just like a parrot that keeps squawking "brawk brawk, both sides, both sides, brawk brawk.

Dingman says both conventions were equally marred by "disunity". But even the master of the false equivalency, the Ayatollah of both siderism, David Brooks, even he wasn't brushing the conventions with his usual both siderist paint.  

Early in his column, Dingman refers to the "political cluelessness" of others. But if he  wants to see a living, breathing example of political cluelessness, all he needs is a mirror.
[EX A]: Non-identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: What have the liberal democrats done in any sort of dictatorship fashion? They have always gone about policies through a system of checks and balances, debating with Congress and amending proposed laws as required in order to have them pass through the Senate and House of Representatives. Obama did use executive orders, yes, but what he did not do was completely overhaul the government through intimidation and force in order to impose his power and will. He always did so while working with others and listening to opposing views. 

Trump is not the Republican Party. Trump is Trump and a burgeoning dictator. He wants a sense of power unlike any other President and has already shown that he will take drastic steps against those who oppose his view. This is a scary and unprecedented situation the United States finds itself in, and what needs to be looked at are the policies being put in place. They are horrendous policies, and to be ignored speaks to how disillusioned you must be.
