In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

[Q]: Comment: Whether I think a "political campaign should be carried out by 140 character tweets" or whether you do is irrelevant.  HIs Tweets worked.  He is the President-elect. 

 He didn't want to stay out the media; he wanted Free media; and he got it.

The Carnegie Mellon analysis is irrelevant to his results.  The US Army had to 'dumb down' its training to the 8th grade reading level when we went All Volunteer army in the 1980's.  And IQs have been steadily dropping since.  

Who do you think Motor Voter and other 'increase the number of voters' programs  were registering to vote?  Rhodes' Scholars and PhD Candidates?   Nope.  A lot of people who were either too disinterested or too ignorant to bother makes up that kind of registration.
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: Trump pays zero percent?  You just lost any credibility. His taxes that were released without his authorization shows him paying 25%.  Even higher than Obama. So you either don't know what you're talking about or you intentionally lie to try an BS your agenda.
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: I happen to be on Obamacare. I was unable to buy health insurance for years as a contractor because of previous back problems. I watched the entire process very closely. Many amendments proposed by the Republicans were added to the legislation--yet they STILL voted against it. So they didn't read their own stuff? That whole "we didn't read it" is just a bunch of baloney. 

As far as I'm concerned, the Affordable Care Act has been a life saver, for me and millions of others. Issues, yes, but fix them, don't throw it all away just because it's "Obama=bad." The Republicans spent the past 8 years saying NO to everything -- in my opinion because they can't work with Democrats, especially with a Black man in the White House Obamacare was based on RomneyCare for heaven's sake!! Suddenly it's bad because it was the Democrats' idea.

If you have any imagination at all, imagine what it's like to go into limbo AGAIN about health insurance and face the prospect of going without again.

Non-threat
