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.

[EX Q]: Comment: Ahh isn't that nice, the democratic socialist party of California, trying to leash their lap dogs..
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: How they all end up.....dead....not in heaven but to burn in HELL where they belong!
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Those "talking points" as you call them are simply reality. Your subjective filters may not want to accept those truths but they still exist. My suspicion is that you're the one parroting someone else's talking points, not the author.

As an example: while researching Trump's projected budget cuts to the state department I found a Breitbart piece predicting a 37% reduction in their budget. In the article, the author of this particular opinion piece took the side of cutting foreign aid while increasing defense spending. Now all the conservative faithful are simply parroting Breitbart.

Basically, Trump's budget merely reflects his monumental ignorance.
[EX A]:
Non-threat
