TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Comment: >  hates Jews
>  tells people to vote for Trump "because Jews"
>  Trump's closest advisors are observant, pro-Israel Jews (Jared Kushner and Michael Cohen)
>  incontinent left points to goons like this guy to claim that Trump is antisemitic
>  Trump invites PM of Israel to WH and was the second foreign leader he called

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: You are ridiculously uninformed. For your sake, sorry the Gov. is going to veto the LIO Taj Mahawker that you said we should buy a few weeks back, which tells me all I need to know about your ability to rationalize coherently and responsibly.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Had Obama made just a fraction of the comments Trump made, I'd be willing to bet Lemler would not have called the issue "petty." 

The best thing about this election, if there is one, is that the GOP will only have themselves to blame when voters realize that the GOP does not have any workable and effective solutions to their concerns. They will finally realize that the finger-pointing from the GOP was all a distraction from their own unwillingness to unite for common concerns. When jobs continue to disappear from automation, they have no effective replacement for ACA, the rich just get richer, and immigrants continue to actually work and get jobs (how dare they!), there will only be self-reflection as the pendulum inevitably swings back to the Dems.

Until then, it will be morbidly entertaining to see the GOP actually have to perform.


I find sad irony that Lemler doesn't see public lands - land available for ALL to hike, explore, hunt, etc as "our land." But somehow private land is.

SOLUTION:
Non-identity-attack
